That Rashford winner reminds me of a late winner I witnessed live in Old Trafford at 13 years old. 10 years later and it’s the same effort, same goal, same opponent, same minute and same outcome. The yanited way 👍🏼🇾🇪#MUFC#MUNWOL
Newcastle were made the richest football club in the world to be part of a Sportswashing project while Sunderland were in League One.
They spent £250m in the summer on a bunch of overpaid flops; in Sunderland’s first season back in the league they’ve done the double over them & taken 6 points, which takes Sunderland above Newcastle in the Premier League after 31 games.
The most embarrassing ‘project’ in the history of football & it’ll be cemented when the captain Bruno Guimares joins Manchester United this summer.

Well, the answer after the Wolves game seems to be the latter, as feared: adapting from match to match, without really setting any long-term agenda nor a team development path.
Amorim’s recent statements, an unfortunate barrage of contradictions, indicated as much.
The team is now ready to play in different ways and keep its principles, he said, but also that he was would have changed 75% of his decisions since taking over.
So the team is progressing nicely, according to Amorim, but he was reluctant to correct 75% of his wrong decision and adapt to reality, in order to avoid looking weak (!).
And now we’re going back and forth on those decisions, from game to game.
It’s now clear that the past 13 months have been both poorly planned and poorly executed, not just by Amorim, but the club as a whole.
I don’t blame the manager nearly as much as the sporting structure for allowing this to happen.
12 months in the job, millions spent on top quality players and we look worse than when he took over, and he’s telling us we’re not near. Near what? Beating Everton? At home? Who have TEN MEN?
Nice bloke, tactically out of his depth.
Pull the plug, we’re going nowhere
Amorim: "Old Trafford was there to see we were going to make a big step up. We were not ready. These five weeks everyone was praising our evolution + I am always saying same things, we are not near. Today was not the mistake of one individual, was the team, the feeling." #MUFC
🚨🗣 Xavi to ESPN back in 2011:
“There was a long time when I genuinely thought about accepting United's offer.“
“I have always felt a real attachment to English football and Manchester United would be 'my club' there".
10 months in the job & hasn’t won back to back league games
3 league wins in last 15
Same issues each week
Time to pull the plug on the Amorim experiment
Time to hold those above him accountable - Wilcox/Berrada can’t keep getting it wrong
@ManUtd is this “best in class”?
@Adroit_Cadet Doesn’t work in Amorim’s current iteration of a 343
If we’d a 343 where wingbacks consistently back up a press, wide CBs reliablly step into midfield, CMs can step up without acres behind them and not be left with an impossible job, he ( or anyone) CAN work
But that’s a big if
