Not sure who suggested it on here, but it seemed prescient.
Amorim is a good manager, but he needs to be the next Man Utd manager, after someone comes in to do a clean up job.
I suspect, because the whole club is far from firing on all cylinders, that he will face an uphill battle and ultimately will not prevail.
He will be better than what theyâve had for a good while. He will show them a pattern of play. But ultimately they donât have the dough to build a new team because they have wasted so much money, so incremental improvement, though initially welcome, will not be enough in the end.

Someone was on the wireless today saying he is a strong character.
That is that, then. He puts those six other strong characters to shame.

Only thing that has changed is when Keane says Utd are trying to finish 4th.
These days itâs 14th.

Just read the comments from other managers and I know they have to be nice but some of these are way over the top.
The guy genuinely looked terrible.
Arteta said he changed a lot of things? What? The playing squad?
Is it still 1954 in Oz??
Fucking hell mateâŚ.

Nikki Haley is another stable genius. She thinks the GOP/weirdo can win if they abandon their misogyny and racism and general filth, which she supports.
Trash collection day Nov 5. I am assigning this route to @PeachesEnRegalia.
ANL needs a sit downâŚSheâs even less proven on the big stage than Amorim is

If your policies are filthy
And your cult leader is Donny
Thatâs Nikki
A manager who insists on pressing. Wow thatâs cutting edge.
It will be interesting to see what expectations come with him. Are there too many egos running the club to allow for a âresetâ period giving him the time and space to do whatâs needed?
I think we (and clubs like Brighton) have shown you can buy well without spending huge amounts, it really depends if Utd have finally got someone in the recruitment side who can bring in the right players.

Yes, he made Ajax2.0. Only difference is this one was shitter than the original.
I thought he was our first choice. I seem to remember a lot of positive vibes on here about the deal but he wanted more overall control? I had never heard of him or Slot so wasnât really paying much attention to it all though.

He was our first choice at one point is my understanding, following Xabi, but I believe further discussions revealed he was going to be totally inflexible on the formation and so the discussions were abandoned.

I donât think it was about him being a first choice.
Xabi was probably Liverpoolâs first choice.
After that , they might have shortlisted a bunch of people and felt most comfortable with moving on with Slot.
Agree with this. They arenât in the right state for a manager like Amorim to come in. Maybe heâll be able to get enough out of them initial for them to stick with him while other areas are sorted. For them to move forward someone needs to be ruthless with the squad. Itâs a shame for Amorim as heâs earned a better chance than this, he should wait for one of those.
Iâm rather hoping that he rejects the move to United.
Imagine the fume from the United fanbase then.

Yes, we have a rough idea of sequencing of contact and who formed the shortlist but no real information on who was actually preferred amongst them. The best guess would be as you say Xabi. Other than that, you can imagine the club not wanting to give the impression that Arne was 3rd choice and only turned to him after being rejected by Amorim.
I suspect Amorim will have become more flexible to avoid losing out on the utd job.
