Man United - the team that gets me excited? 2024-2026

A couple of digs at the media in Amorim's opening press conference. Not sure what questions he was responding to, or whether that was his style in Portugal?

There is a whole sparring thing with the press in Portugal media by coaches and managers particularly form the top three clubs about media bias, normally against whatever team the coach is from who is being interviewed. The UK football press over here has a little bit of a reputation for being anti-Portugal and critical of Portuguese players and managers, possibly the shadow of the treatment of Ronaldo. Amorim won't mind building a 'you are all against us mentality'. Mourinho did it very well.

Rich man goes and does rich man things. All a bit depressing and probably not the best way to impress an incoming coach. Though Amorim himself is apparently one for expensive cars and stuff.

Just didn't turn up for years and club paid the fine didn't they?
Sporting fan I know has been saying they have an interesting approach with the media but won't take the kind of nonsense we have been getting from overpaid players, luckily a bunch of them have been moved on but theres more to go or change. Turned that right around there for anyone not earning their pay. Dalot does suit wing back well, CB's seem to need some extra cover so 3 makes sense in a 3-4-3 tho the wingbacks will need to work hard and the forwards plus multiple positions seems to be a thing. From the training video it seems they are having to be taught to get back before they are pressuring which is not a great surprise considering we failed at pressing and had a number of lazy sods not getting back. Hopefully Sancho is cleared out the way at least, would love to get Gyokeres and Diomanda and/or Inacio in, Evans has done surprisingly well but its not ideal and we need an established goal scorer.
