'The second Special One' - Amorim, by those who know him best
"Additional reporting by Olga Monteiro"
Yes, he's now even more special than he was on Nov 2nd...

Looking forward to the reports of him riding his bike no handy wheelie-ing, unlike ETH who always kept both hands on safely, grounded and never unleashing the exciting potential. Literally every year...

Seems I am not the only questioning Rashfords recent trip.

Why do people assume that United have the top professionals? The pay cheque I guess?
Will be glad to see the back of him.
Shame he's not lived up to the potential.
At least 5 players that need offloading one way or the other in the summer.

He is done imo. He will never learn.
Becks did it but he knew how to perform so it didn't matter. When you are are in the gutter like Rashford you should be working your hardest to get back up there.
I think Nevilles point is relevant.
A player out of form, with a new manager coming in - goes on a trip with his mates to the USA.
He could have gone to Spain, virtually no time difference, no jet lag, no long flight etc.
If he was consistently Utd's best player maybe no problem but his career as a top flight footballer is clearly on the brink and he doesnt seem bothered.
Which is up to him I guess - but in that case dont keep taking the money and walking about the pitch with a face like slapped arse every weekend.

from what I have read, Amorim wont take no **** from players. thats Rashy scuppered then.
Heard some rumours Anthony is a goner too, which isn't a surprise.
ETH began a period of removing some deadwood, hopefully Amorim will complete that process.
Without getting too personal my hitlist would be:
Rashford, Antony, eriksen, casemiro, lindelof, Maguire, shaw
I'm sure there's more but that's who spring to mind

I'll believe it when I see it , hope he isn't afraid to do it just had enough of players getting fresh start after fresh start
Malacia is perma-sick, get rid

Different club and culture though isn't it?
I'm still not convinced he'll be a success, EPL is a different beast, the club is a different beast.
Hopefully he does though. Special one, after all.
Will either last/stay fit past Dec? Very busy period coming up.

It’s easier said than done, trying to shift players on which are on 300k per week and have 4/5 years left to run on their contracts.
Yep, good thing 3 of the players I listed are end of contract next year.
Not sure on the others but itll be possible one way or the other.

Thoughts on Ruben's press conference today? Thought he seemed confident, but not overly so. Excellent English and seems aware to the scale of the task and that he might not succeed.
Eriksen and Casemiro are not Utd quality any more and not worth their weekly wages, Casemiro especially. Might as well as Malacia to Shaw and completely rebuild the left back area depending on what formation Ruben decides is best for the squad. Rashford doesn't seem to be up to the standard Utd require each game, Maguire isn't the future of DC at Utd with Licha, De Ligt and Lenny available.
So yeah quite an accurate list I think. Wonder what will happen to Zirkzee. Doesn't seem to be looking too promising. Wonder if he'll return to Italy on loan in January with a view to making a permanent Serie A return?
Well Anthony makes sense, way too expensive, even Ole said no more than £40m for him and we spent £80m+!
