Manchester United fan & ageing former Stretford Ender. Match going days largely over, confined to critics armchair. Former blogger. Got plenty to say about the club and how it has been ruined by the Glazer family. Fair warning: No clickbait tolerated.
Lovely, Marit. Happy New Year (belated).

Just been assigned my Christmas Day job list: moving furniture (having daughter, partner & children over for dinner), cooking: sprouts, sausages & pigs in blankets, starter (asparagus, Parma & cheese) and drinks service.

It’s a bit odd the sequence of events: 1) Jamie Jackson (Guardian) reports that the club has put Rashford up for sale. 2) almost simultaneously Rashford says he’s ready for a new challenge 3) Amorim says the new challenge is at Utd. Does Amorim really know what is happening? #mufc

We’ve got a very difficult run ahead of us starting today. Let’s hope the players step up as they need to.

Lots of issues granted, I do think he’s a far better manager than Ten Hag who has absolutely no idea. Amorim will be judged on results though.

He’s easily been our best player - he did well on that goal.

I didn’t know that he talent spotted those players. He was responsible for Amad & Pellistri too? I found the Amad deal quite bizarre ref his huge fee given his lack of game time at Atalanta. Amad is on fire now - unplayable. I’d have retained Pellistri too.

Fond memories of Steve Coppell. Ps I met Sir Matt outside OT in the 70s and chatted to him briefly. He used to park his Jensen Interceptor on the OT forecourt (useless info!) :0)

We all have our lists of Utd player duds, but they are all on lucrative / crazy contracts and often times Utd have ended up paying up those contracts - read very expensive. It’s a nightmare scenario.

Ineos have gone about this quite badly. The club might not have been well ran - too many staff etc, but you are right the 1st team squad has too many unsuitable players, several need selling - that’s where the real potential savings are …

My only gripe is Amad should be starting in the biggest games like Arsenal away - they couldn’t cope with him.

I like your short posts. Did you know that one of Amorim’s key players at Sporting Lisbon was very similar to Harry Maguire?

I’d just add that if Amorim selects these players they have to repay his faith by putting in a shift. I really wasn’t happy with any of the forwards (inc subs) other than Amad.
