To be fair Amad will thrive tactically under any formation but yes those other players you mentioned will do well with a switch back to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

A few more academy players will get minutes this season for sure. His twins are actually in the way of some of our other potential prospects (Kone, Thwaites). He will probably do what any father will do. LOL

I am just hoping for a respectable showing until the end of the season. Then we reset in the summer.

We shouldn't get any coach now.

Let Fletcher do the job till the end of season.

Let them work on bringing a good coach. New manager bounce suppose fit carry us enter fourth in the meantime. 🤣

Jamiuokolaa:
Despite the need to strengthen (probably in the summer TW), our current squad should be doing way better, considering the fact that we are in just one competition.

Did you watch the game vs Wolves? For me, we even escaped defeat in that match.

How can 10 man everton cop 3 points at Old Trafford, despite our numerical advantage that lasted more than 80 mins or so?

Things like this cant be happening and all we would be talking about is strengthening the squad

That's why he was sacked, and rightly so.

Ellexy:
But you're okay with the manager responsible for the performance.....you never know wetin dey worry you

You go cry tire. You never see anything.

I know say na where una dey go be this. 🤣🤣

Narrative manufacturers

Me and others: The board should sign players so the new coach will work well. And also get a good coach

Some people: No o. Our squad can beat Everton, West Ham and wolves

Jamiuokolaa:
If we had won those matches, we would be further up the standings..probably as title contenders

That's the standard, not struggling to draw Bournmouth at OT with our Keeper rescuing us from the jaws of defeat

So what's the point now?

Trevor012:
How do you win the league without first beating the likes of west ham and Everton consistently. Who is even talking about winning league at this very moment. This guy ehnnn

You guys are okay with the current squad we have right now? Abi my ear de pain me?

Trevor012:
If you don't know then keep quiet.

Collect my phone

patrickmuf:

So you want to win the league with your sqaud level abi

Maybe you are bringing twitter and internet issues here. I don’t think people here said sacking him was the wrong decision. What has been said is that it is not yet Uhuru.

I personally am not moved by sackings anymore. Until I see how the club is moving in terms of new manager appointments and squad building. The last 2 sackings (which were all richly deserved) have made us worse. We need to get the appointment after the sacking right. That is the crucial point being made.

He's definitely bringing twitter issues here. No one here has objected to the sack

Jamiuokolaa:
So they are so bad that they cannot be used to beat Everton, Wolves and west ham AT OLD TRAFFORD?

So your satisfaction is winning everton and westham instead of winning the league?

Later them go say na me get low standard

patrickmuf:
Meaning that we could be higher up the table if the team does better. This is what I am saying. We are still lacking in certain departments but we have a squad that should at least perform better and pick up more points. As I highlighted several posts back, losing against 10-man Everton, picking one point against Wolves, West Ham and Leeds is unacceptable...

That's why I am asking you. Is it to beat Everton you are after or winning the league?

Trevor012:
Apart from Amorim how have we been getting worst?

I don't know o

Jamiuokolaa:
Even if we are fully back on track, there would always be the need to strengthen the squad from time to time..especially during summer Transfer windows.

Not sure you can pinpoint anybody here who is of the opinion that we shouldn't strengthen.

What you are making it seem like is that we need to strengthen before we can beat Wolves, Westham, Everton etc at Old Trafford

So you are okay with Casemiro and Ugarte in your midfield plus Dalot and Dorgu playing fullbacks right?

afrodoc2:
They are tunnel-vision people.

With every sacking things appear to get worse. Even this interim appointment of Fletcher dey risky. He has been coaching for less than 6 months.

The first thing I did when I hear the news was to go to check out points in the table to make sure say relegation no dey possible this season again.

Like I always say, the sacking of a coach is not the main issue but the appointment of the replacement is where we stumble. We also need to improve in squid building.

The only manager left that I have some hope in is Nagelsmann but he is another philosophy king. With the last 2 appointments those philosophers don dey scare me.

That's it. Were we not happy when Ten Hag was sacked? How did it turn out? They went ahead to sign a stubborn manager that will not tweak his system. And you want me to take it easy with the board. Hehehehe

Leyqute:
Na lie.

Every United manager will be expected to challenge for the title. Even when we finished second with Ole and Mourinho, it was never enough.

Abi na

Jamiuokolaa:
For a team that crashed out early (and shamefully) in the Carabao Cup + no European commitments, the squad isnt too bad.

I think the AFCON has not helped matters but again, the truth is that there have been too many unacceptable results and performances...ESPECIALLY AT OLD TRAFFORD!

Our squad is crap. Our two fullbacks are Dorgu and Dalot. Midfield of Casemiro, Urgate, Mainoo and Bruno. Only Bruno and Mainoo are solid options in my opinion. Casemiro is on borrowed time.

Only our wide foward and center back options are good.

Let's not lie ourselves. The board needs to get to work. You people are the ones going back.

What people are saying is the board should buy players so the new manager can take us forward to a better place. I don't know why it's triggering you guys.

patrickmuf:
Are you okay with the performances this season?

I'm not okay with the performance.

patrickmuf:
Who talked about EPL challenging here? The squad is clearly good enough to play better and pick up more points. We are out of the Carabao Cup, not playing in any continental competition yet we keep getting outplayed and outrun by teams who have European engagements to keep up with. No team with ambition will accept dropping points to Everton, Wolves, West Ham and Leeds in a space of a month or so...

We are 6th. Same points with Chelsea so I don't know what you want this season with the squad you have since you said you don't want to challenge for title

Make Mainoo clean himself and redeem himself for World cup abeg.

Rashford can come back and play substitute since Barca don't have money.

patrickmuf:
You're just imagining things and running along with it. My post is clearly directed at those who are questioning the sack. There's no doubt that Amorim deserves to be shown the door...

When can we have a discussion when the board announces his replacement and how they move in the transfer market...

I'm not moved by any sack or replacement.

If you are not getting me a UCL or at least a serial winning manager, I don't want.

Leyqute:
They’ve ruined this club.

I'm telling you

patrickmuf:
Bro, are you serious that we don't have the right tools this season? If we have all our players back like we have had for the most part of the season, do we look bad lined up in a 4-3-3?

Amorim insisted on a formation that was supposed to ensure we were solid at the back but it was counter-productive yet he stuck with it.

If Fletcher lines us up in a 4-3-3 like what I have below, we will make light work of most teams in the league...

....................................Lammens...........................................

Dalot/Mazraoui..De Ligt/Maguire/Yoro...Licha/Shaw/Heaven...Dorgu/Shaw/Malacia

Mainoo/Mount........Casemiro/Ugarte......Bruno/Zirkzee

Mbeumo/Amad.........Sesko/Zirkzee.........Cunha/Mount

Whilst I agree that the squad can be improved on, you can't argue that if properly set up and managed, they're few teams in the league with better squad depth and overall quality.

I don't want to argue. If you believe this squad is an EPL challenging squad then good for you.

Leyqute:
It was outburst that triggered the sack not the bad results? That’s more evidence of incompetency.

Na those kind management I won take seriously 🤣

Leyqute:
You don’t think it’s because people are tired of the sackings whilst the club keeps getting more rotten?

Or do you think United have been getting better with the sackings?

We've been getting worse with every sack but fans should not be worried. If you worry you are an Amorim lover.

Some of you are just funny.

People worried about how the board will react to this sack means they are Amorim fans?

If una never start division una body no go rest.

patrickmuf:
Amorim deserves to go...That one is certain.

Let us wait for them to make the next move before we begin to complain.

Who said he doesn't deserve to go?

Why should we not complain? Have we not been here before?

patrickmuf:
Please you guys should calm down with the board. We played Everton, West Ham, Wolves and Leeds and only got 3 pts.

How exactly is that the board's fault? Do they have better players than we do? Definitely not.

With the current absentees, a good coach should still be able to beat Wolves and Leeds...

Na that one dem dey talk now?

We dey look beyond. Na wolves win we won dey celebrate for the club?

You never tire?

CrystalTiger:
This is also my fear, like we literally went from frying pan to fire..It's why I'm of the opinion Wilcox and Berrada should go..

If they don't get at least one very good midfielder this January then it's all nonsense again..

No coach is coming to perform magic.

Club should give them right tools.

I'm sha tired of this sacking and hiring that's not yielding anything.

Get me Ancelotti, Conte or any coach that has the winning mindset.

No go dey give me Xavi or any of those newbies.

If not, na the same thing all over.

At this point we need to start playing consistently in the UCL. Get a coach that can guarantee you that. When everything is stable you can get your young coach to build from there. If we try am go get those younglings na hot tears.

Naso we celebrate Ten Hag until we land Amorim.

Till I see the new coach and the boards commitment to signing quality players this is no good news.

We need good players.

Amorim gone. All my millions. Pour me water.

Every party should do their job.

It's an insult that what our squad is right about now.

Even if everyone is available we do not have quality midfielders and we should be getting more this Jan.

Amorim might have his problem but we need players. Man City wey tight are already locked in with Semenyo.

Make everybody dey play. Amorim will not be here forever to blame.

adebayo201:
I tell you.

From the look of things, Mainoo is gone. Like, how can Bruno and Mount likely be available for Wednesday match against Burnley but he's not? Mhen...

It's crazy. This club don cast
