Fans in general do not care that he is there trying and trying to fix everything - they care about the result, and with the arrival of Amorim in the club you can say nothing has changed and the team continues to lose and keep on low positions in the league table. Outside of the championship they seem to have everything more or less, but inside - terrible

Nothing has changed for United because even though Amorim came in and changed things for the better, in the end it still failed.
In the Premier League itself United are like a mid-table club and it's quite easy to beat them at home.
The fans will never care if he leaves or not because United are so far behind the competition and they are having their worst season probably at the moment.
The only impressive thing in the Europa League is that they are unbeaten so far but no one knows what will happen to United in the last 16.

It is sad to see Manchester United struggling so much even after changing their coaches. Way the team chooses new players does not seem to work well. They ignore very good players like Victor Oshimen and spend a lot of money on players who are not as good. This makes it hard for team to get good results. If we look at best teams like Liverpool Arsenal and Manchester City we see that they have very good players in all positions players who score goals and players who play in middle and players who defend. Manchester United needs to think again about how they choose new players and try to get best players so they can compete with top teams.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are recognized to be title contenders following the stats they portrayed out there for everyone to witnessed. They're absolutely formidable for titles, winning games and titles is absolutely no new thing for them. Wait a minute, you just included Arsenal as one of the best teams in the English Premier League?  The odds of Gunners getting streak winnings is indulged with stellar performance, they're one of the best teams but when it comes to winning titles, they're excluded following the poor confidence exhibited between them.

Manchester United are living in their past glory because there's absolutely everything crumbling in the club. When was the last thing Manchester United won any significant title apart from the FA Cup? They're never winning the EPL title, not even closer to qualifying for important rounds in UEFA Champions league when they qualify. The new coach is doing everything he can, atleast to ensure he's having full concentration on winning matches.

I also don’t see them performing well against Real Madrid.

I recognise the fact that Madrid is another team entirely in the Champions League, but if we were to judge by current form, Real Madrid is not too better than Machester City. Currently, Madrid is going through a lot of internal crises, and their performance on the field is very questionable. The difference is Madrid has individual qualities that can win games for their team, while Manchester City does not have that.  If those individual players don't show up on that day, then Madrid will be in serious trouble because, as a team, Madrid is very poor right now.

There is also the issue of injuries that Madrid is facing. They will now be without Rudiger who is an integral part of that defence so Madrid is left wit Tchoumeni and Acensio in defence which is not an ideal situation. Manchester City's poor form is not news, but I don't believe it will be impossible for them to win against Real Madrid.
Considering the current performance, if you say that Real Madrid are not ahead of Manchester City, then I would disagree with you. If you follow Manchester City and Real Madrid regularly then you must understand the difference. Real Madrid are currently a balanced team with key players injured and they still have good players in midfield defense and strike positions which Manchester City lack. In Manchester City we see a weak attacking line as well as weak midfielders, the defense is even worse. There is a Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid ahead where you can definitely see how Real Madrid performed and how Manchester City performed. Hope you must watch Manchester City vs Real Madrid match.

Manchester United is having no financial problem or debit which creates problem for them even they spend huge funds for few players which fail to perform as expected but now Amorim doing few good things and offloading players which was the problem which is big change with this now things can take changes in the future.

Manchester United's long-term debt is still quite large at the moment because if you look at last season's data alone it was around £496.52 million and they are also still supervised by the profitability regulations given by the EPL because if I remember correctly last season in the Ten Hag era they were only given a quota of around £120 million by the federation in the EPL for player shopping. So by looking at this it is quite understandable that they cannot do some things outside their authority to completely overhaul the players because in the end this could interfere with their own electability and cause other problems that make them have problems with the rules given by the federation in the EPL in the end.

By looking at what happened before, for now they also cannot act too extreme like Arsenal and Chelsea did in the last few years because in the end there will be a domino effect when they force it.

It's quite funny that although Aston Villa consistently rank above United and are in the Champions League this season, while United are in the Europa League, this move is a step down. And the fact that he is going to Aston Villa is proof that no top club is interested in him anymore (like PSG once was).
It will be interesting to see if he can prove himself there or if football has completely left him.
I feel the Manchester United board were clumsy About the Marcus Rashford situation, no matter how you try to look at things, there was a way they could come in to mend things between Amorim and Rashford, even before the young man left for Aston villa, Amorim didn't allow him play for a good number of games for a player that was still very feet and has potential, it wasn't looking like he had a better option in those games though, his direct disposition on Rashford was unprofessional as a coach and as a one time footballer, the whole drama for me was looking like he had a personal Vendetta against the youngster. If not for the way things where, I'm sure Rashford wouldn't have settled for an Aston villa.

Are you kidding? Rashford has turned into rubbish since he signed a new contract with United (3 years ago, I think). From a player who Ronaldo himself said "reminds me of me" he has turned into an undisciplined footballer and a piece of wood on the pitch. There is a type of footballer who, having received a fat contract, stops trying and not only stops progressing (which everyone expects) but starts to degrade. Rashford is exactly this type of player.

Finally someone is telling the truth here. Rashford turned into rubbish! That's it. He had one good season frankly. I think that was the first under ten Hag 22/23? Or when did ten Hag go there? Anyway, one good season when he scored around 20 goals or had 20 scorer points or so in total, I am in the mood to look it up now  Grin But this doesn't change anything about the fact that he is really rubbish now. It doesn't matter whether he scores a great goal every 4 months, three times a year. Yes he has potential, everyone can see it, but you also need the potential to show your potential, lol. That's the point. If Messi played like Messi once in a while or every 4 months, nobody would know who Messi is today. Some maybe would remember, but he would be a nobody like Rashford is a nobody in football. Aston Villa won't turn out to be his emergency exit for the better.

Unfortunately, it seems that Manchester United changes coaches but they all think the same way and make the same mistakes. For example, there is Victor Osimhen who is a very skilled striker, but Manchester United stops signing him and spends a lot of money signing players without great skills. So it is difficult for a team to have good results when they have this bad behavior.

Let's look at the squad of Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, they have players with great skills from the attack, midfielders and defenders. But Manchester United doesn't have that.

You are right because we can see his selfish attitude and inability to work with the team has made Rashford lose his best form and I even noticed in some games Rashford seemed to have no fighting spirit when played by the coach. He had momentum in the previous three seasons if I am not mistaken and was a talented young player during his two years in the first team debut but after that his performance dropped quite a bit and Rashford was unable to maintain his best form. The arrival of Amorim changed everything and he did not get a place in the first team because Amorim considered Rashford to be a lazy type of player who is difficult to change.

Don’t you think that coaches do contribute to some of these players poor performances?

When I check the record of how players were leaving Manchester United, mostly coaches do have hand in their leaving because that was how Ronaldo left, De Gea left also, Jordan Sancho who was a good winger in Dortmund flops and was chased out of the club by Ten Hag; now Rashford was also chased out of the club let’s say by Amorim.

Manchester United‘s management need to restructure their mode of decline and how they treat players, because for one, two, and more players to leave for same reasons, it means the coaches also have fault or something is wrong in the management; therefore, I think k Rashford deserve to stay in Manchester United because he is still good and the team can still depend on him.

Amorim would have sold all the problem players like Mainoo, Garnacho or Zirkise a long time ago but Manchester United have big money problems right now. It is said that the team is hundreds of millions of pounds in debt and in order to somehow fix the situation, the club has raised ticket prices for fans. So for now Amorim has no good solutions and until the end of the season will have to play with the squad that was picked up by Ten Hag. I think that now Amorim regrets that he left Sporting, because the problems there are less than at United.
Manchester United is having no financial problem or debit which creates problem for them even they spend huge funds for few players which fail to perform as expected but now Amorim doing few good things and offloading players which was the problem which is big change with this now things can take changes in the future.

Even still it's not easy for him to work on solid strategy which keep team in good position but as he is working and doing overhaul this is positive thing happening Eric Ten Hag spend huge amount on many players but most of them were big failures. Currently, Manchester United have good thing they ended in top 8 which give them good confidence and this could be good motivation for them as well now they needed to work on their performance in Premier League which is more important and could be good for them.

Fans in general do not care that he is there trying and trying to fix everything - they care about the result, and with the arrival of Amorim in the club you can say nothing has changed and the team continues to lose and keep on low positions in the league table.

I didn’t think Chelsea would be signing any more midfielders, they have a lot of players at their side and it would be hard for Amougou to get regular playing time. Chelsea under Todd Boehly has a reputation for giving long term contracts to players because why do they have to give Mathis Amougou a eight year contract? Are they hoping to sell for profit in a few years?
Whatever potential they saw in the 19-year-old player, they made an important transfer and contract suggestion for Chelsea. I hope Amougou will not be a disappointment for Chelsea. I think they should be more careful since they have had such disappointing transfers in the past. Whether the French player can show all his talents and become permanent in the Premier League is up to him.

Nico González has officially become a Manchester City player right before the end of the winter transfer window in the Premier League.

Currently there is an interesting situation by the way. Manchester City spent 215 million euros in this window which was more than the rest of the 19 teams combined (213 million).  Shocked

Who will say stop to them, or will anyone do so?

City spent a lot because they're in crisis. They also need to make a move for a regeneration as soon as possible. That's why they spent a bunch of money even during the winter window. I wonder how much they will spend at the summer transfer season after they spent a lot in winter.  Cheesy

By the way, glad to see Nico joins City. He is the solution to increase City's depth on its midfield. Adding him is one of important move in order to be used as Rodri's back up, which not anyone in the club can do that. I only wish him luck on his first season at City.
Yeah, obviously they spend such a huge amount. I never expected this before. Even it's only a winter transfer window and they spend (213 million) to sign new players. Hehe 😄 literally, that's crazy, guys they have so much money. But in fact, Pep was in dire need of signing new players. Because Pep's team is already facing criticism due to missing crucial players. I think the reason behind Manchester City bad performance is that the players have lost their confidence and some of them got injured. So maybe the new signing can bring some great moments to the Pep team.

And if we talk about their new signing Nico González we can literally see that he is one of the classical players who has the ability to restore the defensive positions for Pep team. His defensive positions are outstanding, like Rodri. He stops the opponent with strong tackles and helps his team with long balls. Which can be beneficial for Pep's team.

United is open to seel Garnacho and Mainoo this summer.

It seems Amorim is losing his patience for Mainoo and Garnacho. It's good to sell those players as they're nothing than liabilities to the club. They can sell Garnacho for high price, and mainoo as well.

That's gonna be Amorim's first step to rebuild his club. He's not feeling satisfied enough with his current squad, especially when he always suffer the lost even against a mediocre team.

Selling a lot of key players must be a major move to push the team to be better.

Unfortunately, it seems that Manchester United changes coaches but they all think the same way and make the same mistakes. For example, there is Victor Osimhen who is a very skilled striker, but Manchester United stops signing him and spends a lot of money signing players without great skills. So it is difficult for a team to have good results when they have this bad behavior.

Let's look at the squad of Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, they have players with great skills from the attack, midfielders and defenders. But Manchester United doesn't have that.

We are experiencing hectic times towards the last days of the transfer. Batshuayi, who plays for Galatasaray, was transferred to Frankfurt today.
When Frankfurt sold striker Marmoush to City, they want to fill the vacant place with Batshuayi, but I think this transfer is wrong.
Because Batshuayi was a substitute player in Galatasaray and he could not be very effective when he entered the match later. Because he mostly plays ball standing still. I did not see features such as fighting and running. The Bundesliga is a harder and faster league. I am looking forward to seeing how he will be included in the squad here and what kind of performance he will perform. Frankfurt bought Batshuayi on a transfer fee, but they will most likely part ways at the end of the year.  There is no effective performance in Batshuayi. He spent his best period in Fenerbahçe in Turkey, but went to Galatasaray at the beginning of the year. It flies from place to place like migratory birds. I wouldn't be surprised if his destination soon is one of the Arabian teams.

Michy Batshuayi is not a bad striker but he was not the right player for Galatasaray's playing structure. I can say that the lack of tolerance level in the Turkish Super League was a factor in the breakup. In addition, Michy Batshuayi's individual skills such as passing ability, vision off the ball, ball control were weak. Even though Michy Batshuayi has been subjected to criticism and had limited chances to play this season, he scored important points for Galatasaray in critical matches. I can say that Michy Batshuayi's departure from the team before the player club relationship becomes toxic and leads to a loss of points was a good transfer for Galatasaray, even if it cost the player.

The Belgian international don't have good records in scoring goals. Michy Batshuayi has scored just five goals in eighteen games in Galastataray. But he has lots of experience having played for top European clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Crystal Palace, Valencia, Besiktas and  Chelsea.

I wouldn't conclude that he would not do well in Germany because Okan Buruk didn't give him much playing time. The signing of Victor Osimhen made it obvious that he might not have more playing time in Galastataray. Eintracht Frankfurt coach saw some qualities in the Belgian striker which was why he decided to get him. The thirty one years old striker is robust and is ruggged which might suit the Bundesliga.

Manchester United needs to get better again and the first step on achieving that will be to reshuffle the team so that they can be able to identify areas that has loopholes, then they can make amendments and the team become active again. Besides, the club has all the finance and resources to make positive decisions that will help them rise again.

This is how you know a badly run club. A club where almost all the players are bad, yet they have refused to get rid of them and buy actual good players. All the attackers of Manchester United are not good enough. Only Amad is showing any signs of being at the top level.
The midfield is a mess. Players like Casemiro and Erickson, Mount shouldn't be in that club. In defence, Only Martinez and De Ligt should remain if we're being serious.
A lot of work needs to be done in that club. They need good wingers, they need a good striker. Hojlund and Zirkzee are just not good enough. They need at least 2 seasons to have a competitive squad.

With conditions like now of course manchester city must move quickly in the transfer market, especially last summer they only brought in one player and instead unexpectedly they had to slump after rodry was injured, actually guardiola does not have a habit of shopping for players in the winter because they usually focus more on the summer transfers market. but this season they have to break that habit to improve their current condition, so far, I see that the signing of Marmoush has had a positive impact on their attacking line, but the purchase of Khusanov and Vitor Reis so far has not had a significant impact, while the signing of Nico Gonzalez looks like panic buying after they were slaughtered by Arsenal 5-1.

Any decisions that comes from Guardiola right now in my opinion wouldn't be the best for the team, I think his marital status is still there unless he has someone that has taken the wounded place for him and move on otherwise, this season and next is going to be a long journey for the team. I don't think there is absolutely anything wrong with this team, what they need is just readjusting the existing players and find some defenders a good center back.

There is ongoing discussion for Gonzalez to take place of Rodri since he is no longer active and been on injury but who is going to replace Walker. Who is going to perfectly fit into that role because there seems to be no sign of happiness between Walker and Guardiola be he left for Milan, there is many things that need to be sorted out and resolved before Manchester City can be in a perfect conditions that's why I insisted that as long as Guardiola marital divorce is still on, there is going to be long problem in this club.

Barcelona was previously reported to have an interest in Rashford. They are constrained by the player's fairly high salary problem. If Barcelona did not have financial problems, maybe they would really buy him. Regarding competition, it all depends on the player whether he can show his potential or not.
But now everything is final and Rashford will join Aston Villa on loan even though the salary is not paid in full by Aston Villa, at least it will reduce the burden of United's player salary when Rashford is indeed not included in Amorim's plans.

Yes but you ignored one of my points and that is why do you think that a player who was not able to become a leader at Manchester United will now be able to push away one of the Barcelona players to become a starter there? Manchester United is in shambles and Rashford could not convince the coach to count on him. Now you say that it all depends on the player and if Rashford wants, it is only about his will, then he would become an important player for Barcelona.

It sounds ridiculous to me because he wasn't able to find his place in Manchester, a club that is devastatingly bad. Let him go to Aston Villa and show his "great potential" that everybody is talking about there. He will end up being sold again and again in the next few years because all clubs think he is good, but he isn't.

I am pretty sure that it is not going to be easy for United to get there, it is not going to be easy to just change everything all together. I know that they are getting rid of some players, but it is not really that easy to get rid of all of them. They just got away with Rashford and Antony, which is great for them of course, but they still have some dead weight on the club and we are going to end up with a lot more difficult choices without a doubt, so it is not going to be easy at all for them. If they really want to get better, they really need to get rid of more, like Casemiro and Maguire type of players, if they can do that, summer could be better. They are not getting any good players right now, so it is all about just losing the excess.

If Chelsea after some years of suffering and are able to get on their feet again, Manchester United can do better in my opinion. What's needed now is to focus on the players that is going to replace the ones that are going to be loan and sold reason is that it is possible that the players we are anticipating for replacements might even do worse than what we are seeing, this was what we expected from Amorim when ETH left but what do we got, disappointment.

Casemiro has finished football but Manchester United don't know when not to buy a player, ETH is one of the worse person when it comes to good pick. Casemiro is a great defender, has done many things in Real Madrid but not needed in Manchester United in my opinion. Maguire has been long overdue, that guy is overdue for sell but they are not ready to let go because of the investment made on them but the question is would you rather hold something that cost you loss? The market value will continue to drop as their performance reduces.
Man United will not get better until they change how they buy players. Carrying around past mistakes doesn't help you build a future. Players like Casemiro, Maguire, Sancho, and Martial should have already left. The problem isn't even Casemiro; it's the whole scouting and hiring team. Someone spent €85M on Antony but wouldn't buy a real No. 9 when they needed one. Who bought Mount for €60M when the middle needed a defensive anchor right away? Who paid Varane and Casemiro crazy amounts of money when they were no longer talented? The problem isn't just with Ten Hag; it's with United too, which is still acting like 2010 and putting money at problems instead of planning

Also Amorim? There is a risk with him. Although he has promise, running a circus like United is very different from running a football team in Portugal. If he comes in before the whole team is rebuilt, he'll get cooked just like Ten Hag. Also, Chelsea is likely to still have a hard time, but at least they're quickly changing bad choices. United? Their hiring problems, overpaid failures, and lack of knowledge on the board have kept them in a holding pattern. They are stuck in the mud until that changes, while teams like Arsenal, City, and Liverpool keep getting better

It could be that Manchester United will release more of its players in the upcoming summer transfer window, which means that he will only retain players who can play according to the system he implements. So maybe not just Garnacho and Mainoo, but it seems that United will overhaul its squad. Referring to the matches that Amorim played with his squad, he never tried to change his system even though his team had difficulty playing the pattern he wanted. He always made rotation changes to get something he wanted, unfortunately the results were not as expected. Amorim even experimented with placing Mainoo as a center forward, the results were far from his expectations and so was Garnacho's role in the match. On the other hand, the departure of Antony and Rasford forced Amorim to play Eriksen, he didn't have many options, as did Manchester United's center forward. Hojlund and Zirkzee did not give what he expected, but Amorim still implemented the same system. It could be that next season Amorim will make major changes, maybe Mainoo is on the list of players they will release in the upcoming summer transfer window.
