It’s clear that the new manager has been given a free pass for the rest of this season - how long will it last into the next season ….

I like Amorim, seems like a decent dude and did a good job looking after our Vik.

But as someone who went to secondary school in the early 90s, I'm absolutely loving the last few years and watching them implode.

I got so much stick from 'friends' at school who were Utd fans (couldn't even spell Manchester) for being a Cov fan, whilst they were winning everything.

Truly, the club I hate the most.

They ain't getting relegated, there's lesta, southampton, ipswich and wolves that are fighting for that honour

As Rangnick said they are rotton to the core and it's going to take complete overhaul to get them on the right path again, they seem to accept this now.

I could watch them be shit for as long as I live, I'd take City and Liverpool taking turns to win it every year if it meant Man United never won as much as a League Cup for as long as I draw breath - As someone eluded to further up this thread school was full of United 'fans' all high and mighty just cause they took the easy option of supporting them when they were good

That being said, they are too big of a club to be shit forever and they will come back - I do think they need to be invested in Amorim for the long run, I like the cut of his jib and I do think in the very long run he will sort them out

Fergie knew exactly when to get out, he wasn't thick and he would have done it a year prior if Aguero hadn't scored that last minute winner against QPR - He knew that team was way past it's cycle and that is why they spent so heavily on Robin Van Persie who was approaching the end of his prime just to see Fergie off on a League title

Southampton have brought a plastic knife to that fight.

It is surreal to see how far they’ve fallen since Fergie left. Never thought I’d go into watching Man Utd games as often as I do expecting them to get beat. Their owners have to take the brunt of the blame though, horrendous way to takeover and run a club.

I'd take it that all of them could be shit for a bit with each of them winning a trophy once or twice a decade. Quite enjoying Man City's poor form and wouldn't be amiss to seeing Liverpool do the same next season.

I just prefer it being a competition and it's not healthy for a few team to win everything all the time and thus getting the financial rewards from it. I think it'd be good to see the big teams struggle every now and again, even get relegated once in a while.

I think Amorim has done well against the "top" clubs and struggled against the "lesser" PL clubs.

Without going game by game and in depth, pretty much every lower club they've played against, they've lost but turned up vs City, Arsenal etc.

Be interesting to see how it plays out. Personally, think it's the same shit regurgitated. I'm in the same boat as a 90s kid seeing every c**t supporting them, but there's plenty of other plastic "fans" around now in the likes of City, Arsenal and naturally Liverpool are creeping back in more recently.

Yeah, they play well as a counter attacking team but when a team sits in against them they can't break them down.

Think they're looking in the wrong places to make some cutbacks

Man Utd: Ineos considering further redundancies at the club

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is considering further redundancies at the club.

Getting rid of Rashford will save them about £15.5m per annum.

I wonder how many 'normal' members of staff his wages would cover....probably all of them?!

This was my thinking too. They have cut back on things that surely don't even touch the sides of their spending.

Combined the transfer fee and wage of Antony alone probably comes to £100 million all in. Repeatedly failing to qualify for the Champions League can't help the books either. I think rather than look at how to sack more non-footballing employees Ratcliffe needs to look first and foremost at the playing squad and recruitment policy.

Hopefully he won't, because their implosion is cracking entertainment

Can't manage vs "lesser" teams.

Tbf, I would have been surprised if Everton didn't dick them today, Moyes' old club etc

How was that cross by Dorgu that was caught by Pickford and if he doesn't catch it, it's a goal.... not count as a SoT and a save? Bookies take the piss.
