I vividly, vividly remember my delusional Man United-supporting mate having a proper laugh at Klopp, his early comments and acts like the one after WBA draw at Anfield. He wasn’t laughing when Klopp built an all-conquering side.
I wouldn’t laugh at Amorim, especially as he doesn’t seem to be the type to hand out epic soundbites or hardman promises like his predecessors.
He will be when he’s 18 months into his tenure and after having not found a way to play without having Maguire and Evans at CB, he is scrambling to keep his position and starts making increasingly absurd comments about Marcus’ second goal of the season (in late Spring) being the signal that they have turned a corner and with one big summer of top signings they will be challenging for the title
Well, saying that the title is not theirs for the taking next season is one of the more sensible things a ManU manager has had to say on the way IN the door for quite some time. The usual cycle is talk big early, then start saying they need time when it starts going pear-shaped. I think he is definitely right, 2.5 years is not going to get that squad to the top of the leage.
Manchester United have made contact with Real Madrid over the potential signing of midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 22, but the France international is not keen on the move. (Bernabeu Digital - in Spanish)
