What's all the fuss about? Amorim has kept the rags in Sky's "Big 15" so they'll be on Super Sunday every week AGAIN.

The BBC's Phil McNulty on his prediction last August and assessment on each PL team
Manchester United: 15th
McNulty's pre-season prediction: 5th
Where do you even start?
When a manager, in this case Ruben Amorim, is offering public apologies on the pitch just six months after his appointment, you get the picture of just what a dreadful state a proud club is in.
Amorim also told supporters: "Good days are coming." There is little evidence of this coming to pass at the end of United's worst top-flight season since 1973-74.
They were an utter shambles. On and off the pitch, from the ill-judged (not to mention hugely expensive) decision to keep Erik ten Hag and extend his contract, then sack him, to the total lack of impact from successor Amorim after his arrival in November.
A run to the Europa League final threatened to cover up gaping cracks, as well as the growing discontent with part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but United reverted to type with a mind-numbingly bad display in losing to Tottenham.
A head coach who seems uneasy in his role. A mediocre squad ill-suited to said coach's preferred three at the back. Unpopular owners. Morale at the club rock bottom.
Other than that...
What McNulty said in August: "Erik ten Hag is still in a job after winning the FA Cup last season but he is surely realistic enough to know he needs a good start to stop speculation rearing its head again, even after signing a new contract."

Amorim told the crowd that 'good days are coming'.
Wednesday 24th November, half price at Lou Macaris chippy
And Thursday 7th of January, 35% off all green and yellow scarfs, have already been booked.
There's just the other 2 days to sort out now.

They only spend what they earn.Pretax profit/loss is the best measure, so here you go:
2020 $26m loss
2021 $32m loss
2022 $198m loss (!!!)
2023 $39m loss
2024 $164m loss
Regardless of PSR, a business cannot carry on year after year, making losses. It has to blow up at some point. This doesn't look at all good for them

Didn’t Leeds have a decent squad with players who clubs actually wanted.More players on tick.
Just stick another £1.75 million a month on to sign Cunha. Who they actually don't really need.
They are going to do a Leeds
Any established PL player who signs for united is automatically proving themselves to be thick, greedy and totally lacking ambition to achieve anything at all of sporting merit.
The ONLY reason any established player would sign for them is money, pure and simple.

It's all bent and corrupt to facilitate the red mardarses. From missed VAR incidents to refs giving dodgy red cards to legitimate goals being chalked off to UEFA turning a blind eye about finances to the Premier League and it's fat **** of a CEO dumping all the shite on us to take the focus away of these red pricks.
The list is endless.
But nothing will happen, they won't get fines or points deducted. The rules will miraculously change before they ever get done. Fact.
What a load of rubbish, they want desperately to hear the league cup anthem ringing round the swamp, under the lights.Any established PL player who signs for united is automatically proving themselves to be thick, greedy and totally lacking ambition to achieve anything at all of sporting merit.
