When the shit hits the fan, and they've got the wrong man, that's Amorim!

Noooooooooooo! Don’t tell me even you’re posting tweets now!

Surely with the new name it should be called Xeets, or Xits.

This is quite funny:

United are paying the €10m (£8.3m) release fee for the 39-year-old and about another €1m to shorten his [30-day notice period](Manchester United’s pursuit of Rúben Amorim held up by 30-day notice period | Manchester United | The Guardian). Amorim will remain with Sporting for their next three fixtures, including the visit of Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday, and his first United match is set to be the trip to Ipswich on 24 November.

Bradford?
Boreham Wood?
Bolton Wanderers?

More like “shits” well most of it is.

That's the joke - Ranier Wolfcastle as McBain in The Simpsons

Although to be fair it’s quite the stretch to get there from the letter X.

I think Martinez is a better passer of a football than either Silva or Luiz. I say that as a huge fan of Silva as a defender and footballer.

I love the last line, like that justifies their terrible take in anyway

Was similar to how they kept up with the maguire delusion when he was signed and after the initial months of Ole’s ultra defensive backline.

“The problem with Maguire is Utd are using him in the wrong way”

Yeah, they are using him as a footballer when he should be in a field pulling a plough

Having grown up in what you Westerners refer to as “countryside” and done quite a lot of agricultural work in my youth, I take offence at this comparison - and so does every (other) countryside horse!

Amorim confirmed.

He starts 11 Nov, first match 24 Nov at Ipswich.

United’s statement;

"Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements.

"He will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November.

"Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football. Highly decorated as both a player and coach, his titles include winning the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting CP, the first of which was the club’s first title in 19 years.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to take charge of the team until Ruben joins.”

“We look forward to sacking him in the short to medium term”.

How Manchester United Destroyed Itself

So they apparently paid out ETH around £17m and now a release clause for Amorim for £9.3. That’s close to £30 just to change managers. :clown_face:

We paid 15m 10 years ago when we had to sack Bodgers.

So he really loves Sporting then? Yeah right.

Apparently was interested enough to even have discussions with West Ham once the Liverpool opportunity didn’t present itself.
