That's to say Amorim willingly went on to take someone's problem, leaving Sporting to Man UTD isn't the right move and you'd agree with me that is his first mistake to start with. The project Manchester United need to start for the team to grow has to take up to 3 years plus but the fans are not ready to wait for that long, imagine waiting for long to get the team to be in a better shape without winning anything and you see other smaller clubs dominating, I don't think UTD is ready to be that kind of club, the rebuilding type.
If you looking for whom to blame the loss on, it should be the whole squad not excluding Onana and Bruno. Bruno was no where to be found and his body language tells it all that he couldn't fight back to regain the midfield or try to win the game, it was too much for him last night. The manager just need to start a clean foundation before the end of the season, it show that UTD have many players who don't deserve to be at the club and he should start dropping those players before things start getting out of hand.
I wouldn't blame Amorim because as a coach I think you can come across these opportunities and you just can't say no. It's like Ronaldo who went to Saudi Arabia. Nobody ever thought that one day we would see Ronaldo play in a jersey of a club from Saudi Arabia. But the truth is if anyone offers you $250 million per year, almost nobody in the world would decline such an offer.
I agree with you that Amorim must have been aware that he is going to leave the perfect environment that he himself helped building in Sporting, to go to a club that is a disaster. But if he got this once in a lifetime opportunity, a job guarantee for 3 years, a big salary and maybe some other favorable terms which we don't know about, I think it is quite likely that maybe we wouldn't have declined either.
But ultimately this project could turn out to be a huge failure. He may have made some money in the end, but I am not so sure that it will be possible to bring Manchester United back on track in the short term. There are too many broken things and they are likely to miss the UEFA competitions for next year, which will make it difficult to sign new top players as they prefer to play in the Champions League.
I agree with you but sometimes is never about the money or the offers on the table but how the opportunity that is being thrown to you would affect you as a manager, many players today choose money over something they love doing and they're regretting it and wish they could turn the hands of time to correct their mistakes.
Manchester United is like a collapsed building that if you want to rebuild you have no idea where to start from. Amorim has gotten himself in already and before now he should have studied the situation at hand before jumping in and leaving a club that he has been seen as the head and now he has become the tail, leaving champions league football to Europa league, to me thats downgrading. It has been done already so I'd prefer if by January transfer he look for a way to reshuffle the team, ship out some unserious players and get in better ones that can play for the club and not the money, loan out some players and he should never do what the fans are expecting that's to get some of the better players from Sporting to join him, that won't work.
The project might work only if the funds are their and he'd let the players he wants to buy to know that this is a new project and they shouldn't expect anything big until the team is set, I believe there are players who would like to join help build the team to standard, so is up to the manager to elevate the already fall club to a greater height.
