I know its hard to judge players at dysfunctional teams, but we really seemed to dodge a bullet with Martinez

 

[scarps]

Martinez is dreadful.
Not sure why Neville is giving grief to the older boys, they are all streets ahead of Martinez who is useless.

 

[Psycho Ned]

This is Man United at home, honestly if you said it was Southampton would you question it?

Literally getting toyed with by Newcastle.

You're going to turn up against Liverpool aren't you

 

[RavenXXX2]

sack incoming.

 

[Converge]

You're going to turn up against Liverpool aren't you

Of course not!

waving white flags

Amorim Out.

No! This guy has the potential to exceed both Solskjaer and ten hag!!

 

[Slam62]

They’ve all got really nice cars though.

Zirkzee can't pass. He's given to the opposition at least 3 times now.

Looks out of place.

 

[uscool]

Doubting if zirkzee is a professional footballer

 

[Robbo]

People can talk about Amorim all they like, but he's a promising coach and needs to be given a chance to build a team - I don't think anyone could realistically sort this mess out in the space of a few months.

So many problems everywhere you look.

He looked great on those YT highlights videos.

 

[shaf]

We must have scouts who can't see!

 

[uscool]

Amorim might as well start looking at the youth instead of these overpaid lot , at least they will show fight and have legs

 

[uscool]

He looked great on those YT highlights videos.

That's how they probably scouted him just like Onana

 

[Robbo]

They tried to score directly from a corner there too, cheeky...

 

[Purdy]

If only that corner went directly in lol, don’t think that record would be touched

 

[adam cool dude]

At this point relegation would do us some good.

It is also entirely possible. Look at our remaining fixtures. I see just two winnable games. Southampton and Ipswich at home. We will be lucky to get 40 points.

United have done with Amorim what they've done with players for years now. Buy people who are massively hyped, most of whom have some decent talent, but with absolutely no thought to how they fit into the squad.

Amorim is a good, exciting manager, but has been completely clear that he will not change how he sets his teams up. So either nobody considered whether those tactics would work with United's players (because they clearly don't), or he's getting 3 seasons, no matter how bad, to rebuild a squad to suit him. Either way, it's going to be messy.
