Goddamn it.
I love Ruben Amorim more than I’ve ever loved any Manchester United manager.
Not because he was perfect.
He wasn’t.
But because he was brutally honest.
He said the uncomfortable things.
He addressed the elephant in the room.
He didn’t dress up failure to make it easier to swallow.
He didn’t pretend we were further ahead than we were.
He told us exactly where we stood.
And exactly where he wanted to go.
That honesty was rare.
With Amorim, there was very little grey.
No hiding.
No corporate bullshit.
No telling people what they wanted to hear.
This is the problem.
This is what I believe.
This is what has to change.
People called him a talker.
Maybe he was.
But that was also his strength.
He spoke.
He explained.
He stood by his philosophy.
He stood by his word.
And even people who hated his football often respected the fact that he confronted difficult questions head-on.
That’s what I miss.
Not just Amorim the manager.
Amorim the truth-teller.
And here’s the part I keep coming back to.
You can remove a man.
You cannot necessarily remove what he planted.
You can bury a seed.
You can cover it.
You can pretend it never existed.
You can even convince yourself it is dead.
But a seed doesn’t need permission to grow.
It only needs the right conditions.
And Amorim planted something at Manchester United.
An uncomfortable idea.
That we should stop pretending.
Stop hiding behind excuses.
Stop protecting reputations.
Stop confusing good PR with good football.
Stop telling supporters what they want to hear and start telling them what is actually happening.
You can bury that seed.
But you cannot guarantee it won’t grow.
Because the moment the same problems appear again…
People remember.
The moment the same excuses return…
People remember.
The moment another manager starts saying the uncomfortable things…
People remember.
That is why Amorim’s biggest legacy may not be what happened while he was in charge.
It may be what supporters refuse to forget after he left.
You can remove the seed from the surface.
You cannot always remove the roots.
Ruben Amorim is that seed.
And sooner or later, something planted in the dark finds its way back into the light.
@FabrizioRomano This is not important coz we’ve lost and it’s hard to take in…why is Rashford starting for goodness sake? He wasn’t there for a over a year and we were doing just fine 😔
@mai_martaba_ Can’t understand how you just insert Rashford into the starting eleven 11 when we already have a winning team with everyone playing in their best position 😔
Cristiano Ronaldo!!!! A.K.A

The Greatest Footballer there was, there is and there ever will be!!!
I hate to say it, but if you think about it - Cristiano Ronaldo is actually a fraud.
This dude had us believing for like 20yrs that Portugal is a big footballing nation like France, Brazil, others.
When in actual fact, before him Portugal had the same stats as Saudi Arabia😭😭
