Consistency is the word. It's something mentioned by both the manager and captain post-match as despite what was one heck of a performance by United neither Amorim nor Bruno were entirely happy.
Yet it definitely wasn't what most predicted. Many (including myself) thought that this would be a walk in the park for Liverpool and perhaps they did too given how flat they were compared to their usual high standards.
A home game against their biggest rivals at one of their lowest points at the start of 2025 is exactly what Arne Slot would've wanted to further stamp their authority on this incredible first season of his at Anfield.
Ruben Amorim drops some positive news in that United are close to an agreement over a new contract for Amad while the boss also confirms that the club "will trigger our option [to extend Harry Maguire's contract by a year]."
To be honest, any ref at this point would've been a stupid decision because they're all awful but when it comes to the awful-est of the lot, Michael Oliver is right up there. He along with Anthony Taylor...
As we are halfway through the campaign in season 24/25 of the Premier League, I thought I'd take a feather out of Sir Alex Ferguson's cap and try to predict our next 19 fixtures and see how many points we end up with.
We were completely run through as they couldn't cope with Joelinton, Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes who were all over Casemiro and Eriksen. They ran the show and ultimately controlled the game.
United lose their fourth game in a row. United don’t score in three straight games. United lose third straight home game. United are 14th. United are 7 points clear of the drop zone. United are shit.
Survival is the option for the moment says the United boss but with a team low on confidence, lacking quality, leaking goals, not scoring, leaderless and with issues off the field, I don’t know whether we can survive.
Under the current form, United's boss feels that should it continue, his future as manager will be discussed even just a few weeks into the job. Things don't get any easier for the Portuguese as United welcome Newcastle...
Honestly, what do we even say anymore? We seem to get worse every game when it looks very difficult to do so. But what do we know? These players are an embarrassment to the shirt and a lot of them need to go.
Amorim was in desperate need of a win and performance as other than a formation alteration, not much has changed in his 10 matches from Erik ten Hag. In fact, United were in 13th when the Dutchman was sacked. We're now in 14th.
But anyway, I had a bad feeling ahead of the game against Bournemouth and to be honest, that feeling hasn’t completely gone. The last couple of games have been very poor from United to a point where I’ve...
Boxing days sees Ruben Amorim take his Manchester United side to Wolves on Thursday night to try and right some of the wrongs of the damning loss to Bournemouth last Sunday. With Wolves getting in a new Portuguese...
Same old, same old from United. And for more than just the score line against the Cherries. This was the exact same outcome as in this fixture last season in which United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth.
The Cherries come to Old Trafford in match 17 (geez, 17 already?!) of the Premier League in what I believe will be a very difficult game. Ruben Amorim will be hoping to get back-to-back wins in the league...
Man Utd suffered a disappointing loss to Spurs in the quarter final of the Carabao Cup in what was (for the neutral) quite the entertaining game. But despite this defeat, the United boss was encouraged by what...
But that's just a reminder for all those who thought otherwise.Ruben Amorim only went and beat Pep and City again and won his first derby in his first attempt. "Can we play you every week? Can we play you every week."
Ruben Amorim became the first United boss to win his first derby since Sir Alex Ferguson. Ruben Amorim has beaten Pep Guardiola twice in two games in a month. That's United's first win at the Emptihad since 20/21.
The circus, I mean Manchester Derby 😅, rolls into town this weekend and it really is a bit of a pantomime. Both clubs who've dominated this league for so long are in very different but equally terrible situations.
Ahead of the circus, I mean Manchester Derby 😅, both managers spoke about what is going to be a massive game. The two clubs are in different but equally difficult positions. City's boss spoke about how...
The Manchester Derby looms large as City host United in what is a bit of a strange one considering the difficult predicaments of both sides. The two clubs that have dominated Premier League are seriously struggling for form and ahead...
Ruben Amorim suffers back-to-back defeats as MUFC manager just 5 games into his reign. This defeat hurts more than most considering that it was just his 5th game and the performance was seriously below par.
First of all, fair play to Forest. They absolutely deserved the win. They came to Old Trafford with a plan, executed it and got the win. But I almost feel like that plan was to frustrate us and eventually, United will beat themselves.
Ruben Amorim's first defeat as United boss came at the hands of Arteta and Arsenal (bloody knobheads) in the last match. That 2-0 loss at The Emirates was a reality check after the 4-0 win over Everton...
The Portuguese spoke about his team and the need to get back to winning ways after suffering his first loss as United boss on Wednesday night. MUFC host a 7th placed Forest at Old Trafford tomorrow evening (17:30 GMT kickoff)...
There were a lot of things for him to takeaway from this match both in a good and bad sense but I believe that a game like this will help him a lot more than had we gone there and won.
United suffered another defeat to Arsenal which is now four in a row, the first time Arsenal have managed that feat. That is also another loss at The Emirates which means we will have to wait another season...
Both teams are heading into this game on the back of good form with both scoring a lot of goals in their past couplematches of games. Arsenal looking good and feeling good in recent weeks. United looking good and feeling good under Amorim.
Ruben Amorim conducted his Arsenal press conference on Monday evening at Old Trafford rather than the Carrington training ground (where it usually is) as the MUFC manager said that they had a meeting with...
MUFC recorded their biggest home league win since the 5-1 hiding of Leeds back in August 2021 as they beat Everton 4-0 on Sunday. Erik ten Hag had also not won a league game by 4 or more goals. Ruben Amorim did it in his second game.
That turned out to be the perfect afternoon for United and their new Portuguese manager. That is back-to-back home wins for Amorim in which he's seen his side score 7 goals and that is also two wins and a draw in his first three matches.
Game three under Amorim is fast on the horizon. His second home game sees gravel voice Sean Dyche and Everton travel to Old Trafford in match 13 of the Premier League. After his draw in his first league game at Ipswich...
The action doesn't stop as straight after his first win as United manager, Ruben Amorim moved on to his next match which comes at Old Trafford as United welcome Everton in match 13 of the PL (kick off 13:30 GMT).
It was very United-esque. The draw at Ipswich was reminiscent of times gone by as there was more Erik ten Hag in this performance than Ruben Amorim. I suppose that is to be expected given the time...
The Portuguese's first game for the Red Devils didn't go according to plan despite a super fast start in which makeshift striker Rashford scored after 80 seconds thanks to some good work down the right by makeshift wing-back Amad.
A new era is well and truly under way as new MUFC manager Ruben Amorim takes charge of his first game as his United side travel to Ipswich to take on former assistant to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Kieran McKenna.
The new man at Old Trafford spoke to the press (which included 50 reporters!) for the first time ahead of his first game in charge of the club on Sunday at Ipswich. He had a lot to say but one of the more interesting...
That was a lot more straightforward than many probably predicted, or at least than I predicted. But we really couldn't have asked for more from the team and neither could Ruud van Nistelrooy in his final game in charge as interim.
Thursday night's important win over PAOK to give United their first win in the Europa League is now history as we move back to domestic action and face the Foxes once again in quick succession.
The former striker was speaking ahead of another must win clash as United welcome Leicester back to Old Trafford just over a week on from facing them in the Carabao Cup. A full circle moment for Ruud...
Yeah, spoiled your Sunday if you watched that. Two hours that you'll never get back. As United and Chelsea do though, they drew. 1-1 is better than a 0-0 but other than a penalty, a worldie and some argy-bargy, you might as well have watched paint dry.
I like the fact that they gave him an easy game. Fair play. But it is the Blues in match 10 of the Premier League for United and first league game without Erik ten Hag, a first in 2-and-a-half years.
The ex-striker conducted his pre-Chelsea presser ahead of Sunday's clash with the Blues of which we know that he will be in charge of. In fact, he will remain interim for the next three games but beyond that...
I really don't know what to say about that game. It seemed to have everything, yet nothing, IYKWIM. United were heading into this game on the back of a good (and important) win over Brentford last time out in the PL and needed to keep the momentum going.
Saturday is El Clasico but Sunday could potentially be El Sackico! Erik ten Hag and Julen Lopetegui are two managers under serious pressure as their two sides are performing well below the expected standard.
Speaking to the media post-match last night, Erik ten Hag was questioned on another crunch game for him and his team as they travel to West Ham on Sunday afternoon (15:00 BST kick off).
Erik ten Hag got his important win over a man who could still potentially replace him in Thomas Frank and his Bees. United's 2-1 triumph was their first in five after three draws and a loss which left the MUFC...
The Dutchman said that he and his team were 'angry' at their concession of the goal against the Bees late into injury time in the first half. Ethan Pinnock was poorly marked by Diogo Dalot to give Thomas Frank...
He and United were seriously under the pump after their worst-ever start to a Premier League season and while they may not be out of trouble yet, this victory will certainly ease the pressure.
Ahead of his side's pressure game against Brentford tomorrow afternoon (15:00 BST kick off), Erik ten Hag spoke to the media and hit back at reports saying that he could have been sacked.
Indeed it does. Man Utd are given the tough task upon getting back to action as Thomas Frank's Bees visit Old Trafford. While it is great to have club football back, when you support United nowadays...
In an isolated game, this actually wasn't the most terrible performance and result from United. To get a draw at Villa is considered a great point at the best of times given how well they're playing so to do...
However, where does this leave ten Hag? That was the question heading into this game as everyone was saying that lose and he's gone, win and he could stay. Not many predicted a drab draw.
I don't know which of our players will show up if any do at all. Villa Park is a tough place, Emery's team are playing some top stuff and the two clubs are on different ends of the spectrum.
Talking about time, we've seen little of new signing Manuel Ugarte in a United shirt. Erik ten Hag provides a reason for this. "We have to integrate them like Manuel Ugarte. He needs time. I know in top football you don’t get time."
There was nothing positive about the performance against Spurs. The only good thing to come out of that game was losing just 3-0. It ought to have been 5 or 6. That defeat meant Erik ten Hag is a dead man walking...
Here we are once more. Man Utd don't show up to a game of football and get walked all over by an opponent. This time it was Ange Postecoglou and Spurs who were the beneficiaries of a United 'performance'...
MUFC welcome mate Ange Postecoglou and Hottenham Totspur to Old Trafford in match 6 of the Premier League. Erik ten Hag is in desperate need of both a performance and result after two straight draws...
The MUFC boss conducted his Spurs press conference last evening ahead of what is a must-win game for his United side after two straight draws in the league and Europa League.
MUFC felt sorry for Palce and decided not to score resulting in a frustrating evening for all. Erik ten Hag's side did everything but put the ball in the back of the net.Another game where unnecessary points were dropped.
Erik ten Hag will be very, very happy with what he saw from his troops with the only thing missing being putting the ball in the back of then net, which is the most important thing of all.
Should we go there and play as we have done in the last two and get a good win, then people will start to take us seriously and know that perhaps there is a change for the better at United.
It wasn't as smooth sailing as the score line suggests but we desperately needed a drama-free game (if you want to call it that). Yes it had it's drama moments but nothing controversial nor was there any shit...
This was a game that was pretty much perfect for United and specifically manager Erik ten Hag. He needed that win more than anyone else. United came into this one under pressure after a poor start to the season.
MUFC are back to ruin weekends as they travel to Southampton in game 4 of the Premier League. If the Saints don't win this one, they deserve to be relegated. 🤣🤣, I'm laughing at my own team 😭.
If anything, I feel as if we've gone backwards. Before, the play style may not have been great but in the main, we at least saw that we were a counter-attacking team. Now though, it's hard to see a clear style or a team at all.
More of the same. We've been here before. Scoreline may not be as bad as previous matches (although it's not great) but we've seen United not show up, at home, to a rival, and get turned over.
Old foes do battle once more as Man Utd take on Liverpool at Old Trafford in game week 3 of the Premier League. Two clubs in contrasting positions but all is cast aside in English football's biggest fixture.
Man Utd were well and truly back in their defeat against Brighton. Last week's win over Fulham was just a blip, it seemed, in our continuous form of shiteness. That victory gave us all a lot of optimism heading...
If ever you wanted to see a masterclass in how to cock up a football match as a manager, that was it. It's very rare that I completely blame Erik ten Hag for performances and results of the team but holy fuck!
The Premier League kicking things off in the correct way again as Yanited open up matchday 2 with their first away trip of the campaign. It sees Erik ten Hag's side travel to a new-look Brighton.We know that over...
Erik ten Hag's side began his third season at the club with a slightly nervy 1-0 win over Fulham. He will be happy with the result and general performance, but there were areas where he would be a little annoyed.
Erik ten Hag and his Man Utd side began the 24/25 season much like they did 23/24. A scrappy, squeaky bum 1-0 win at home to a mid-table side to get up and running doesn't exactly fill everyone with confidence.
Proper football has returned and these three months couldn't pass by quick enough. Although it has come by pretty quick. Time is moving too fast these days, amirite? But we are back and not only is it...
In the last game of the league campaign, MUFC got the job done at was what has become a bit of a bogey ground for the team in recent years. 0–2 at Brighton is a great way to finish the season and gather momentum moving into that FA Cup final.
Man Utd secured their second straight win to end off what has been a truly atrocious season. The Red Devils managed to get one over Brighton who were looking to do a double over United for a second season running and win five games in a row against ten Hag’s team.
Erik ten Hag takes his Man Utd team to the coast of Brighton in the final match of what has been a pretty underwhelming season, to say the least. But the Seagulls have had our number in recent seasons so this is definitely going to be a difficult last match.
Yes, it’s very rare to be saying that Man Utd actually won a game and played well doing so. However, that is exactly what we got in the club’s final game at Old Trafford for the season. Quite the entertaining sendoff at the Theatre of Dreams.
I think so. That felt to me like a game where a lot of things came together. In a season where much has fallen apart (not least the stadium itself), the victory over Newcastle seemingly brought everyone and everything together.
As this is the final game at home for United, they would obviously want to leave this awful campaign with some positivity. However, that is easier said than done as Eddie Howe and Newcastle come to town, a team that is competing with United for European positions.
It is a bit of a problem to be thinking that losing at home to Arsenal isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Given our terrible season, injuries and last Monday’s performance at Palace, I think many (including myself) felt as though the Gunners...
That game last night was absolutely embarrassing. Those players should be ashamed of themselves and probably don’t deserve to be wearing the United shirt. The sad thing is, it wasn’t entirely unsurprising. Many saw this sort of result...
The Red Devils dropped 2 points at Old Trafford as they were held by ex-City legend Vincent Kompany and his troops in a game that truly lacked quality. The first 20 minutes saw United dominating and controlling the game and...
It wasn’t quite the 4–3 we’ve seen on five occasions from United this season but it was (worryingly) not far off. Erik ten Hag watched on as his side managed to make perhaps the most ‘gimme’ of games harder than it should’ve been.
Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United side slumped to another draw, their third in four games since the international break. Man Utd have just the ONE win in their last seven. This was yet another lackluster and flat display...
Great rivals Man Utd and Liverpool played out an intriguing stalemate at Old Trafford that has potential serious ramifications not particularly in the title race. United came off of the back of a disappointing late defeat at Chelsea...
I know I’m not a man of many words (if you know me) but it’s not often (if at all) that I have no words. What did we just witness?! How did that game end up with that scoreline? Ri. Dic. U. Lous.How Chelsea even got 2 goals inside 20 minutes...
Unfortunately though, this bomb resembled Hiroshima and Nagasaki more than anything positive.I don’t even know how to describe that game.I feel as though we’ve said three or four times this season that that was the worst performance of the campaign.
