No one can be worst than Amorim. It's not even possible.
Don't be too sure o

I never thought we could employ a manager worse than ETH but alas...Amorim asked us to hold his glass.

I am a bit scared..especially with these Wilcox and Berarda fellas..

You just never know what they have up their sleeves..

No be ikenna rumours we dey hear 2 seasons ago?

Don't be surprised if Maresca is being mentioned at the end of the season

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.

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.
Fletcher is taking over on an interim basis, no? They did not say he will be here until summer. It’s the blogs saying he will ‘likely’ be. Won’t there be an interim for the next few games until another manager is appointed?

This Fletcher appointment na chess move. No be today them don dey plan am.

They sha should not repeat the Ole mistake.

Amorim’s recent outbursts now make sense. The guy must have seen the kurukere moves. LOL

Let’s see how fast our injured players get back. Especially Mainoo.
If they know they want to throw away the season, why sack Amorim then?

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

Better prepare yourself for the worst. This board wants a perfect replacement that doesn’t exist. They want a top competent coach who will be their puppet whilst using an inferior squad with the expectation to compete with them City and Arsenal.

And the worst thing is that they themselves are incompetent.
I thought you have left all these your rubbish yarns in 2025. This same board backed Amorim when he nearly relegated us. If their expectations was to compete with city or arsenal immediately they would have sacked him since last season.

Let's wait until they appoint a permanent replacement before we start debating whether or not they got it right. I was one of those who first kicked against the appointment of Fletcher when someone shared the news here. Do I have to keep saying before it becomes clear I would've preferred a more experienced coach on the interim?

My point is simple, the decision to sack Amorim is right...What happens next is open for debate...

😃😃😃🤣

We need 9 more points to reach the magic 40 points mark. So we are safe . Lol
Yeah I think we are safe for this season. Na the first thing I go check be that, my broda.

Abeg I hope we get some new interim manager bounce with Fletcher and deal the deal. One thing I expect is more minutes for some academy players (that is if our injured players don’t come rushing back).

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?

From Jose to Ole to ETH to Amorim. The results keep getting poorer even though the expectations remained the same.
The only worst results here is Amorim. Jose won two trophies and finished top 2, Ole finished back to back top 4, Eth won two trophies and finished top 4. Only Amorim nearly relegated us. This narrative needs to die.

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

I remember when we used to argue here that spending was not the problem, but we were convinced that the management was the problem.

INEOS brought in people with the right credentials to run the club but now, we are back to square one, you guys are now complaining that the very appointments you celebrated here have ruined the club...So Amorim was not the problem after all?

This fan base is unique in itself...
cheesy cheesy cheesy Structure structure, so we can spend and buy wisely. Dem bring their favs, who made ‘better’ recruitments and got a philosophical manager. End result, 38% win rate with a backward style of play. God help us.

Apart from Amorim how have we been getting worst?

Why are Chelsea, Barca and Madrid fans not tired of manager sackings? Even fans of bottom and mid table club don’t complain like this. Utd fans are just somehow. Maybe it’s ambivalence. I don’t know.
Very anyhow people.

I'm not okay with the performance.
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 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

That’s because they’re more experienced at squad building and planning.

When last did you see these teams have just one competent player and 5 inexperienced academy kids on their bench for consecutive match days?
Which one is this rubbish squad building narrative again. We are playing only one competition and 8 key players are injured or away on Afcon. Maino a back up this season haven't even seen any game time and you talking about adding more players. Na WA for una reasoning.

I don't know what the fuss is about. Let us wait for when a manager or head coach will be appointed permanently before we start dissecting the decision of the board.

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.

Bro Amorim nearly relegated us. No coach can be worst than that.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 12:58pm On Jan 05
Manchester United is a quick transition counter-attacking team, that is our identity, that is our DNA. The board should not be unfortunate to bring in a Manager that doesn't place this style, no more nonsense possession, payout from the back, 3 at the back rubbish. If United can tempt Hansi Flicks away from Barcelona, let them sign him up or wait till after the World Cup to sign Julian Nagelsmann..

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

What formation does Fletcher prefer? Have you watched a team coached by him before? If not, you should calm down. He is only here on an interim basis, meaning he might only be the coach for a game or two, or maybe until the season ends. I didn't see this much drama on the Chelsea thread when Maresca was sacked and a coach I have never heard of was announced as the man to lead them to the Etihad to take on City.

You must have missed a few posts, and nobody is saying it is Uhuru, but at least Amorim is out. Let us wait and see what the board does next.

Correct but as long as he doesnt start any of those his twins. 😀. If he performs like interim Ole we might make the UCL. He will at least revert back to our traditional 433. I think players like Dorgu, Mainoo Mazraoui and Amad will do well with a different formation.

I heard Vivell will look for the next coach. So liepzig link might make him go for Nagglesmann. Well for me I am not too invested in the team anymore. Anything wey they wan do make them do
