Kind of expected when you see RvN waving to the OT crowd after the 3-0 win over Leicester.

I think Amorim will also view RvN as a threat even though the Dutchman says he is satisfied being an assistant.

Bye and Take Care, Ruud!!

Agreed with all that bro lacoruna said....one house cannot hv 2 masters or an organisation hv 2 CEOs or red indian chiefs... otherwise they will sabo or undermine each other n then the kah kia don't know to listen to who n there will be a fight one day breaking up the organisation into 2 camps thereby breaking the unity of the group.

He shd go elsewhere to make a name for himself 1st n cum back later to take the position when it is available after Amorim leaves on his own accord or is sacked

RvN will have a briliant career in EPL..... lots of clubs would want him after his recent short stint with United, GOODLUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS RUUD !!!!!

Full thanks and appreciation to Ruud Van Nistelrooy for being there when needed.
Wish you the best.

I feel it is for the best Ruud left the club, he already knew the structure and as he said, he was not ready to be long term manager of Man Utd yet.
He would benefit more from being at other clubs and learning more and different things and be more experienced, should Man Utd one day need him.

Amorim intends to go straight into a back 3 from the get go, his choice of wing backs will be interesting.
Højlund and Gyökeres are strikers of the same mould, strength and power, just need to have decent supply like Gyökeres got.
Amorim changed his strategy slightly when he got Gyökeres, having the players play more direct balls to him.
Højlund is a decent hardworking player, he has potential. He did have a wonderful stretch last season.

Trivia on Gyökeres. Before Gyökeres moved to Coventry from Brighton, our Dan AshWorth was the sporting directOR at Brighton. Not sure tho if it meant he sanctioned/approved the sale.

I look forward to the appearance of Yoro and see if can be a future stalwart in the defence of Man Utd.

And of course.

Rúben Amorim

WELCOME TO THE THEATRE OF DREAMS

To add on, RvN is a crowd favorite at OT due to his past goal exploits.
A staggering 150 goals in 219 games!

While Amorim is practically an unknown, especially in England.

You can't be walking out onto the sidelines at OT, then you hear the crowd chanting and cheering your assistant's name.

Since the departue of SAF, every change in manager brings a new hope, but then it fizzled out.
I guess so far, the more successful one is José "The Special One" Mourinho.
Winning the Community Shield, EFL and Europa in his first season.
Even then he only stayed 2.5 seasons, got sacked just before Xmas.

Next one is OGS, which we branded him Infant.
Say what you want, this guy always conjure majestic victories against the arrogant Blue City neighbours.
A win in derby always brings immense joy.
Don't forget that iconic Champions League comeback away to Paris Saint-Germain too.

How far can Amorim go?
Only time will tell.......

Oic, thanks for the clarification

Don't understand why Joshua Zirkzee getting so much negative press.
He has only played 430 mins of league games so far, and not many starts.
Højlund himself took some time, and everyone can see that supply to the strikers are just on the low side.

He has 0.21 goals/90 mins, compared to Højlund 0.22 goals/90 mins.
If there is a problem, feels like a supply issue first.
Who didn't suck while under ETH anyways, even Fernandes was not doing well.

Found this interesting website with players stats.

For the first time in a long while, quite excited for Man Utd, although I try to temper it with caution.

The different style of playing will probably catch Ipswich off guard, but looking forward more to Amorim's more well known attacking plays.

Injured players are starting to return, Luke Shaw, Malacia and Yoro back in training.
Thats very decent potential there, just have to keep the injury curse at bay.

One thing to worry tho, I watched Amorim last game in charge, Braga vs Sporting. They won 2-4, coming back from 2-0 down.
Sporting players were ball watching just like Man Utd when conceding.
Of 4 goals scored, 3 were from outside the penalty box, may have been a strategy change with Gyökeres marked out of the game.
Last 2 goals scored at 89th and 90+4 minutes.
Like the fighting spirit, will be great if Amorim and instill that in the players, keep going, and going.

Practically every pundit in U-tube is predicting a narrow win for the red devils 2-1 or at least a draw against Ipswich this sunday...don't tell me they dare to turn to pussies again n lay down their tools n sabo new manager Amorim from Sporting Lisbon by drawing or even losing the match...this will seah sway the renowned manager from Portugal who having been doing very well there for the last 4 years winning cups n titles

The reason why this guy is getting negative comments is becos of his body language while playing on the pitch during those few chances he was given to play ..in 1 of the match he gave that lost look n can see he was lazy to chase after the ball thereby running around the pitch aimlessly like a headless chicken...hojlund on the other hand is way much better than him, always trying to chase the ball to put it into the net...his 18 goals last season shows his energy n desire to score goals but not this guy who scored only 1 goal so far...looks like he came to the wrong club....there r rumours that his old boss at bologna wants to reunite with him at his new club Juventus ...if true, all the best

Ipswich v Man United

Sutton's prediction: 1-1
