He’s a long way short of world class. World class midfielder means players like Ya Ya Toure, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, Nigel De Yonge, Phil Foden. It’s a long time since United had a truly great player.

My vision is not blinkered at all, i will admit world class when the term is applicable but for him its not even applicable when you put quotation marks around it, even if you take out the moodiness and going missing constantly on a purely talent level he just simply isnt there and thats nothing to do with him playing for the rags or not, the term world class is banded about too loosely to be honest and there isnt that many world class players, kdb, yaya and silva were, currently in the pl salah and van disney were but have fallen off a bit this season, donnaruma is and phil could be, im not sure arsenal have one world class player albeit they do have some very very good players.

Legend is an ambiguous term. Andy Morrison is a legend of our club but he hardly won any trophies.
 
I know it goes against the grain but I quite like Amorim. Comes across as a decent guy who is on a hiding to nothing. He’s a good coach just at a circus of a club with mediocre players who won’t adapt to the way he wants to play.

He doesn’t slag us off or get sly digs in and fronts up a lot to the media. I also like the way he sticks to his principles and way of playing. Will probably cost him his job but he will do well somewhere else.

That's the spirit! None of this doom-and-gloom, "when are they going to sack him?" stuff.

I think he feels he has been shafted by the club, fans, media. He didnt want to come to utd mid season, agreed to do that anyway, saw how much of a clusterfuck United are and now its his fault! I dont think we have got to see how good or bad he is as aa manager because "its united". So many leave that club and are actually better than they were.

I hope he screws that club and team for everything he can.

I sort of know what you mean. He definitely gives off useless clueless idiot, rabbit in headlights vibes.

He looks like a bloke who's won a competition to manage them for a day, or accidentally ended up in the job.

Reminds me a bit of the time that taxi driver was interviewed live on BBC news about the new iPhone as he walked into the wrong room and they thought he was the tech expert they booked, or that Spurs fan who was dragged onto the bench by Tim Sherwood after mouthing off in the stands.

Blue tinted glasses off, there's an argument that none of their post-bacon chops managers have been terrible. Chopping and changing the manager every 5 minutes isn't going to solve their problems as the rot is much higher up.

Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho - looking at it objectively these are not stupid guys or crap managers.
