holding talk with this idiot can not change anything. just sack him before he sales all our players and bring back our Rudy Van

honestly speaking, the players need to ve open and tell Mr.Amorim truth if they feel they can't manage his formation. it's now a point of starting a mature conversation than pretending to live by command

Sack Amorim, bring in Fabregas. that guy has an excellent tactical football brain.

The board should be blamed for his appointment. no due diligence was taken like Liverpool did. His formation is not going to work in England. He's not flexible and this will bring about his downfall. But it will cost man it'd another season because of the board's bad choices. ineos must go.
i will keep saying it. I will still not blame the couch for this mess. all blame go to the board.,.

Amorin is not rebuilding anything but things are just getting worse each and every game. So it's the best choice for the management to sack him while it's early.
yeah cause that worked wonders in the past? we need to support our manager and give him more time

its time we fully back this manager, we cant keep sacking managers before they have time to rebuild.. saf,klopp,arteta and pep also needed several years before finally getting it right. and for everyone crying out for 4-3-3 dont forget we had multiple managers who failed with 4-3-3

If Amorin keep his ego aside and change his preferred formation of 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, I bet you he will succeed. Take our recent match against Grimby Town as an example. The team look completely drained when he started with his useless formation of 3-4-3, those two goals we scored lately arrives only when he quickly switched from his preferred 3-4-3 to 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 or so. It's his stubborn approach in sticking to that old and useless formation that led to this disastrous outcome. Playing players out of their normal positions is completely insane. I am just fed up wallahi ππππππππ
Ten hang did same and still got sacked don't pretend as if you don't know

adoring is sticking to the formation he knows and understands. He has no depth in football management. it will be more disaster if you force him to go for a formation he has no knowledge of. he will not know the players to field in and will not know when to make changes and who to bring in. man u should go for a versatile coach before it's too late for them.

Man Utd is now a shell of it's former self..the moment we will all accept that current policy from management is not meant to aim for the top place in the league the more peace we will find in ourselves. until that changes we will continue spiking our emotions for nothing

Amorim's team playing style is not suitable to play at EPL. EPL's teams are more compact at the back and they counter attack in numbers and speed. MU team under Amorim is suspect under fast counter attacks and set pieces aerial bombings. I wonder did they practice defending corners in training or not???
the playing style his sporting used to beat man city

The xenophobic British media is at it again. They never do this with their British underachieving coaches. What showdown when the goalkeeper problem is a problem the board has not resolved for 2 years? That problem existed long before Amorim came! We saw these headlines with Mourinho, Van Gaal, Ten Hag and others. It's your way of making Alex Ferguson a god. You make sure nobody stays at United by hounding them out ignoring the real PROBLEMS!
bro, what's the real problem. state for me

he should be more flexible in changing tactics when plan A fails. of course Amorim had no plan B or C whatever.

How is it that he has the players he has on the bomb squad but luke shaw is still on the team. This dude is as delicate as a straw. he continues to get hurt he can bust his knee brushing his teeth. but yea get rid of kobiee obi. get your striker and not play him. that lost to Grimsby and him on the sideline looking at his tablet showed he is way over his head. he has no idea how to adapt and make things better. he gave up after that game.
