He did say it and yes Rashford’s done I agree.

If journalists like Mitten are speaking to national media about the long term issues the club has had with Rashford, then you know he’s done at United. Another case of a player surrounding himself with the wrong people #UTFR

Amorim’s 2nd “run like mad dogs” presser yesterday felt far more like the kind of challenge he’ll now get from journalists. “Will the players run for you”, “what if they don’t”, “is it disrespectful when players don’t clap fans”. He handled it well, but it had a different feel #UTFR

Berbatov talking a lot of sense here in the game build up. Theo Walcott on the other hand just likes the sound of his own voice 🚮

On the train en route to the Everton game and bumped into my son’s English teacher who is with her son for his first game

The 2 tickets they have bought off a reseller are a scam.

I’ve signed them up for 2 forwarding memberships but now on the hunt for 2 tickets.

Any spares for today folks? 🙏🏼

I don’t think I am. I didn’t say we were suddenly going to start winning every week, but this manager has integrity and I shall enjoy watching him build a team in his image.

I’m just enjoying looking forward to watching Manchester United play football again. I had ever so slowly been falling out of love with it in the last few years #UTFR

I’m more interested in how we look out of possession than in possession versus Everton. We have Arsenal on Wednesday and we have to be better organised than we have been. Second half on Thursday was a lot better, but lots to do in only a few days #UTFR

An osteopath will align everything and so loosen your back up. A physio should give you exercises to strengthen the areas causing the back pain. Both have their place.

Just watched the Amorim interview with Mark Chapman. My 14 year old daughter described Ruben as “honest & genuine”. She’s usually a very good judge of character #UTFR

Amorim hinting at several rotations tonight. The Butcher will be back and he didn’t rule out some minutes for Yoro. Hopefully get to see Kobbie back on the pitch as well #UTFR

Andre Onana has won the FIFPRO Player Impact Award for the humanitarian work of his foundation. #MUFC #MANUTD

If I was a 1st or 2nd year pro in Manchester United’s academy, then I’d suddenly be thinking that I’ve got a real chance this evening. Youngsters will make plenty of mistakes, but they’ll also run all day for their manager #UTFR

Kids will run all day for you. They’ll be inconsistent & make mistakes but I’d take two or three seasons of that if Amorim believes in them.

One thing I’m pretty sure of after today is that Ruben’s reds will be a young playing squad. The writing is on the wall for those who either cannot or choose not to run in games #UTFR

Are manager’s obliged to do an interview post match? That clearly irritated Amorim. Fuck Sky and pay the fine. What they going to do? Stop showing United on TV. Nope #UTFR

The best thing about today was Amorim’s Paul Smith coat. Onwards and upwards Ruben #UTFR

Is our star boy back today?🤞#UTFR

Just reading that the lad is 6ft 5 at 16 years old #Unit

Really liked what Amorim had to say about culture & professional standards to GNev. Should both be a given at United, but the truth is the club has fallen short in both areas for over a decade #UTFR

We’ve had more than a decade with club leadership happy to make top 4 & hope to win the odd cup to sustain commercial revenue. It feels like the expectation is changing back to a culture that demands the very highest standards. About time United #UTFR

Göykeres agent Hasan Cetinkaya in April:

“I would say that at this point it is also very important to know… what will happen with Ruben Amorim, because we came here because of him. We have to know what Sporting’s plans are.”

Bruno Simao: “You see it on his face when he’s losing games, sometimes I speak to his mother to say I really need to speak to Ruben. She says, ‘Bruno, I know to only speak with him the day after. The day of the game no way, I leave him be because he is angry and he can react badly’.”

Sebastian Coates:

“He [Mathieu, older than Amorim] was the one Amorim demanded the most from when he arrived. Sometimes you defer to your elders, but here we are all equal.

They say there is no plan B, but his idea is to use the same system with variants, the variables are the players.”

Bruno Xadas: “He was always sincere, upfront and clear about what he wants for the team and the players, he’s direct, he makes his ideas very easy to understand.

He gives instructions but he also gives freedom. When you go on the field you know everything you have to do at every moment of the game”

Fransergio: “He’s very calm, and he’s someone who sees everyone not only as professionals but also as human beings, he would often inquire about our families, and he would check on how foreign players were adjusting to life in Portugal.”

Tiago Tomas: “Sometimes he would almost feel like a big brother. He had all the respect you should have for a coach, but you had a connection with him, you felt you could talk to him about anything.

He plays one system, but you see new dynamics and new movements even though it’s the same system”

Marcus Edwards: “He makes you want to be the best version of yourself. He’s constantly chatting to me in training, getting me used to the system and the way the team plays.”
