Did anyone actually hear enough of it to have any sense of what he was trying to say? Pretty damned odd thing to say after a 1-0 loss at home where the opponent was mostly playing to keep their lead.

I think its just one of those things where managers all think they have to be philosophers now. No one would have taken issue had he said he was disappointed with the result but he saw enough to be confident that they are going to be much improved and competitive this year. Thatās way too milquetoast for these modern guys though so he just over egged it.
Thatās my read at least.

You can read the full thing if youād like but thereās not enough disinfectant on the planet for me to click on the link: Every word from Ruben Amorim's press conference after Man Utd 0 Arsenal 1 on 17 August 2025 | Manchester United

I havent, but Iām wondering if their press advisor is a bit of a comic genius. I also presume its the same person that was advising Ten Hag
Considering he now claims the worst Man Utd side is such a great side after he made his own transfers suggests thatās plays the idea.

He should probably be focused on proving he can get his side to actually beat Fulham. One more āmoral victoryā like losing to Arsenal at home, and he goes into the home match versus Burnley facing a must-win. Scott Parker channels circa 2017 Dyche for a dreadful draw, and Amorim will have the noose around his throat to enter September, probably with the dreaded āvote of confidence from the Boardā

Fulham will be tough to break down and they may have the issues they faced on Sunday as you said it then comes down to Burnley.

No one would really have expected a win over Arsenal, but their August is comparatively soft. September is a much stiffer proposition with @City, Chelsea, and @Brentford. The pressure could build incredibly quickly.
This guy pledged not to cut his hair until utd won 5 games in a row. He went from Slot to Fellaini

Five games in a row? That hair is going to get a lot longer. Fair play to him for getting to 316 days, shows real commitment.

Yeah heās going have to find an option to maybe go down to unbeaten at some point as I canāt see this Man Utd becoming a winning machine any time soon.
5 wins in a row. Might even go for 3 in a row. 5 in a row is beyond United.

I didnāt realise he was still doing it. I expect male pattern baldness to set in first.

This is pretty much the best thing Iāve ever seen, not least beacuse he looks like Bart Simpson in a wig in one of themā¦
Weāre gonna have to win the treble to eclipse this as the greatest moment of 25-26.

Itās 2035, Manchester United are on their 20th Manager since the end of Fergie time and are still waiting for workmen to break ground on the proposed circus tent inspired stadium to replace the delapadated Old Trafford mausoleum of long forgotten successes. Marcus Rashford (still on the books at Ā£300k a week) is serving the journalists their pre-match meal so itās time for our annual check in with the fan who back in 2024 refused to cut his hair until Man U won 5 games in a row.

If you remove the cups and consider we won the title with a month to spare we didnāt win 5 in a row in the league last season.
We did do five in a row due to the CL.

Is it five in a row Premier League games? Or give in a row any competitive game?
Still a tall order, but the latter is obviously much easier.
