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.

and some would question the accuracy of using the word manager

Gonna enjoy this one unravel, again. Fuckin idiots.

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

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.

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.

We shop down a different aisle than United.

when rags lose again
they will give it to wayne
thats amorim

 

[RACHACE]

So 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.....

Can't see him dropping Fernández

Very odd, a 1.5 year contract till June 2026.

If Pep signs an extension for a year… till June 2026… lol

Couldn’t believe that when I saw your post. Went on the BBC and they said he signed until June 2027..

Yes, I read elsewhere it was 1.5. Clearly early news mistake.
