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

Seriously though, you do wonder why someone might think United would be a good vehicle for their ambitions. Odd thing to say given they are still one of the richest in the world, but the last decade has been so awful, to the point where it appears hard to get good players at the club (at least in their prime). He could have won more silverware where he was than at United.

Getting a £17m payoff sounds a fairly good reason.

'Right, I've signed. Could we miss out all the unpleasantness and jump straight to the pay off?'

Sorry we spent all our money hiring you, now can you make this squad work with no money? Also why does it appear you are doing all your coaching sessions from a beach somewhere? Is that Football manager you have open?

We’ve still won things in that time. It’s all relative. It’s just consistency and some terrible signings. No reason to think that a good manager with ambition can’t see themselves winning whatever they want at the club.

Well, look, I get it, aspiring manager wants to join 'big club' with a big name. But the best they can realistically hope for is spending 18 months to get back to something like where they were in Ole's first season. I know the world doesn't work like this, but a 'rational' decision would be not to take the job.

Add 19m euros for Amorim's contract by out and an additional 4m euros for his coaching staff

What would be the expectations on him for this season among the fans?

we can agree to disagree. no reason someone can't aspire to be manager for 10 years and get United back to the best team in the world. got the resources.

Anything that's not the steady decline we seem to be on would be nice. We seem to be finishing lower every season. Idk what's gone on with transfers but we seem to have no plan with those or the gameplay.
