Patrick Dorgu ❤️🦾
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Seunpapa65: 4:53pm On Jan 28, 2025
🚨Patrick Dorgu deal is DONE! ✅

Looks like he will fly to Manchester tonight or tomorrow morning and have his medicals with Manchester United! 👀🔜

Let’s get the deal fast and have him on the squad for Palace game on Sunday. #MUFC

I remember when Amorim said he was happy to work with this squad cheesy cheesy
it's not like there's anything else he could have said. As for Rashford, he should have been binned with his twin in a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
it takes a lot for a trainer to call a player out as being lazy(laziness was exactly what Amorim meant in that interview). it's not even revelation because this is something everyone could see every match day. no trainer will say such damning statement about a sportsman except he's extremely fed up.

Initial fees under INEOS:

Yoro = £52.2M
Ugarte = £42M
De Ligt = £38.4M
Dorgu = Around £25M ish
Mazraoui = £12.8M
Zirkzee = £12.2M (first of 3 yearly instalments)

We can criticise INEOS for alot of things but They’re good negotiators, people can’t deny that💯

I think Alvaro Fernandez was the backup plan - not sure we intended to sign both of them.

Trying to figure out the striker that would be a realistic target..

I just hope we wouldn't go and settle for one unknown rookie with poor numbers again undecided
Do you get .. Signing Hojlund for 85m has to be one of biggest mistakes we have done.
Crazy how he’s record at Atalanta was terrible and we still ended up signing him.

Signing both Alvaro & dorgu should tbh both Marzaroui and dalot are so bad attacking wise.

@bolded is very wrong.

Rashford can’t be arsed on the pitch. I don’t know what he can offer with that attitude but I know it is quite close to zero.

Amorim is freezing him out more because of his lack of effort than for his unnecessary interview. I don’t agree with how he’s portrayed Rashford in public but we can’t be gullible enough to believe that Rashford would be productive on the pitch.

We’ve seen his performances and grit and they’re nothing to write home about.
Nice point,but I ask you what happens when the transfer window for January shuts and Marcus Rashford fails to secure a loan or sale deal to another club?
It is looking highly likely that Rashford will remain a United player when the window shuts down. Does Amorim continue to freeze him out while using him for training purposes? Does United continue to pay his astronomical salary while Rashford sits on the bench?
Would this not be equivalent to cutting ones nose to spite his face. I am not in support of Rasfords infantile attitude but I still believe he offers United more in attack than Hojlund and Zirkzee combined.

Amorim and fans are fed up. He either buckle up or fu.c off the club. Obviously, I'll prefer he does the later undecided

You’re entitled to your opinion and we can agree to disagree on that.

But the koko is that everybody is a loser in this saga - Rashford, Amorim, and Manchester United.

This problem could’ve been avoided if everybody was honest and laid their cards on the table right from the get go - Rashford included.

One major issue for me is that this kind of stuff ( player vs coach saga) is becoming a norm at Utd.

There’s nothing we can do about what’s happened already but is there something INEOS can do to stop the occurrence from repeating itself?

I told ellexy then that he had to say what he said then to encourage the team. I even thought he was going to continue like that until the end of the season. But he has seen enough to get very irritated

Ruben Amorim on whether what's happening with Rashford sends a message to the whole group:

"I don't want to send messages to anyone. I'm very clear about what the players have to do. I'm demanding on some points, but I'm a coach like any other.

“There are just certain red lines that I believe, that for a group to win games and titles, you have to follow a certain number of criteria.

“If there aren't any, it's very subjective and we have to be very clear with the players. That's it. I don't want to send messages to anyone."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 8:54pm On Jan 28, 2025
Why are we having a discussion about Rashford here like we didn't watch him serve us rubbish one game week after another?

So, you guys think we are the only ones seeing Rashford play? No top club will put in a bid for him unless it is a loan deal that will have us cover half his wages. We should just accept it's a loss and move on...
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Gambit001: 8:59pm On Jan 28, 2025
Patrick Dorgu will sign a five year deal at #mufc. His salary will be around £30k a week for the first four years, then £50k a week in his final year.

I did suggest we keep McTominay longer. he would have been a more useful option than Rashford upfront for this team right now.
it is worse when you see Rashford's effort at bird's eye view. goodness! all you think about all game is how to accurately aim a golf ball at his knee undecided
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Gambit001: 9:31pm On Jan 28, 2025
Ruben Amorim on Casemiro's lack of game-time:

“We understand that Casemiro has other things nowadays. The intelligence he has, understanding the game, understanding where the ball is going to fall but we’re in a league that I can see, even in European competitions, the difference in intensity is big.

“And so, I feel that this team also needs players with a very high intensity. And sometimes we don’t have that and sometimes that difference in characteristic can lead one player or another to play.

“Even the fact that the group has a certain characteristic as a group. I needed some players in certain positions with a slightly different pace. But we all know the quality Casemiro has and everything he won. And so, I have nothing to say about that. It’s just a choice.”

After the Fulham game, the man indirectly said he misses Rashford cheesy

Amorim:
You can see on the bench we miss a bit of pace on the bench.But I would put [Man Utd goalkeeper coach Jorge] Vital before a player who doesn't give the maximum every day."
At this point, it's not out of place to say that obsession with Rashford don dey enter small small

Like you said, they would still ask him about Rashford after our next game - his answers are giving them the headlines they need

E no go work rashford is having a taste of his own medicine the guy all our former managers chaii 😂😂 this one everybody don sabi say they guy na fraud 🤣😂
If he was serious of proving himself why not collect a paycut so that other clubs can sign him but no he is more interested in the salary than his level of service in the pitch more pepper to amorim ball

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 12:35pm On Jan 29, 2025
Ruben Amorim: "I watched the Fulham game a second time. The positions are there, but there are a lot of automatisms missing. With the ball, especially with the ball. Without the ball, it's easier.

“With the ball, it's mainly about understanding the space, what the opponent is doing. If one of them makes a bad move, it compromises the rest. They have to read each other.

“If the ball is on one side, the one behind the colleague has to understand what type of move he's going to make depending on the colleague in front.

“All of this requires a lot of automatisms. When there is this automatism, it's much easier. There are answers to everything."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Gambit001: 12:38pm On Jan 29, 2025
🚨🗣️ - Rúben Amorim:

"I told the players that in other countries, the pressure would be much greater.”

"In Portugal, for example, if things were going this way, it would be very difficult for the players to even go out in public or play at home."

Unfortunately Amorim knows how to be diplomatic when he needs to be. You kind of get the feeling sometimes that he’s orchestrating the whole drama thing with the media. Cos the way he gives out headlines is uncanny.

I remember some guys few weeks ago on the Chelsea thread were talking about experiencing something like this after going to watch a NPFL game. It's never the same in England. Their fans there are so comfortable with mediocre performances it makes perfect sense why their national team is also useless.

Your team go lose 7-0 to Liverpool and there would be no consequences. Sat 12th in the league and they would demand a day off. Later nitrogen go tell us the players too are sad about the poor performances. People that were laughing in training last week as if they didn't just get folded by Brighton
