Does anyone else think the following BBC statement is something of an oxymoron
Amorim is the sixth permanent manager United have appointed since Sir Alex Ferguson's 26-year reign ended with his retirement in 2013.
I for one, wouldn't begin to describe any of them as long term, never mind permanent.
Just because we’ve appointed a Portuguese DoF, it doesn’t mean we’re going to snap up every Portuguese, who pulls on a football shirt.awkward for his pal hugo viana, but if he went to united its because he wasnt part of our plans, that im 100% convinced of
Yeah there was no chance we were go from taking guys with Barcelona and Bayern on their CV and then just rock up and raid everybody from Sporting.Just because we’ve appointed a Portuguese DoF, it doesn’t mean we’re going to snap up every Portuguese, who pulls on a football shirt.
We’re not fucking Wolves!
With apologies to @Lupo and @Wanderingwolf.
Can't see him dropping FernándezSo looking at how Amorin sets his teams up they could be a bit more solid....
He usually if not always plays 3 at the back with wingbacks
You would assume with his current squad the 3 at the back would be Delit martinez and Yorro once fit...wingbacks would be shaw (If ever fit) and mazouri and Dalot I would presume
He managed Ugarte (iirc?) so he will play along with Mainoo leaving a front 3 from Rashford, Garnacho and Hoiland (with the other young lad (Amad?) also able to play off the right as well
That 3 at the back with wingbacks would make them more solid plus the 2 defensive midfielders - but a high line with that back 3 would be dangerous - delit is slower than I thought and none of the others are quick either.....
Couldn’t believe that when I saw your post. Went on the BBC and they said he signed until June 2027..Very odd, a 1.5 year contract till June 2026.
If Pep signs an extension for a year… till June 2026… lol
