MANCHESTER – Manchester United lost to Arsenal in their opener on Aug 17, but Ruben Amorim remained full of optimism and said his rebuilt team can now beat anybody in the English Premier League* as the club try to put last season’s woeful 15th-place finish behind them.
How they still haven’t figured out after all these years that Bruno is very much part of their problems is testament to the stupidity that reigns at the top. They have basically got three number tens now and goofy has to be shoehorned in no matter what.
So a parodic YouTuber can correctly identify what is likely their major issue, but everyone from the manager up is either too stupid/stubborn to say it?
"As the final whistle was blown at Craven Cottage, Benjamin Sesko wiped his nose on his shirt and then just stood staring down at the turf in the centre circle, while around him the players of Fulham and Manchester United shook hands, embraced, or fell to their knees to praise to the almighty deity, according to preference.
Sesko just carried on staring, then carried on for a bit more, seeming not so much disappointed with this energetically vague 1-1 draw, as consumed by something more basic. How strange to be Sesko right now, aged 22 and a few months, a £73m footballer, thrown into the meat grinder and asked not just to play and score goals for Manchester United, but to fix them too, to work out exactly how this £1bn cut‑and‑shut job of a team, hurled into a non‑negotiable shape by a supremely confident man in white trainers, are actually going to do this.
Score goals. But also invent an attacking rhythm, link the parts, discover how we’re meant to play. Because, frankly, no one else around here seems to have much of a clue."
Because, as that illustration clearly shows, the sleeping giant represents Nanchestir United… presumably no relation to the clown car breaking down comically in Manchester currently.
