A Christmas Miracle!

Some are saying that they don't feel excited after getting these 3 points or that it's embarrassing to have just 33% possession at home or that they're just happy with finally winning at home for the first time since October.

I Don't Have A Good Feeling About This One 😬

You know, I’ve got to be honest and say that this is a game I’ve been low key concerned about for a while. With United’s recent results and performances, I have NO confidence that we will get a positive result.

"I Believe In The Team"

Ahead of the Boxing Day clash against the Geordie's, Ruben Amorim delivered his updates regarding the injuries of Mainoo, De Ligt, Maguire and captain Bruno Fernandes. The United boss confirms that both Mainoo...

Not Good Enough!

United failed to make the most of the chance to get into the top 5 (again) thanks to a disappointing loss to the league’s in-form side as Villa managed to beat United in the PL for the first time since 2022.

Christams Came Early!

Honestly, it's almost as if this is expected from United nowadays. And the funny thing is, we were actually decent. However, even against a Villa side who didn't play at the level they have been...

Ruben Amorim Aston Villa Press Conference Reaction

There was much to discuss for Ruben Amorim ahead of his side's trip to Villa Park to take on the league's most in-form team. From his captain's comments to 'Free Kobbie Mainoo', there wasn't a shortage of talking points for the United boss.

Villans v Devils

United dropped 2 more points in what was a pretty entertaining game against Bournemouth. That 4-4 will go down as one of the games of the season but for Ruben Amorim, it was a chance missed (again) to move higher up in the table.

The Best And Worst Of United

WHAT DO WE SAY ABOUT THAT?!

I'm talking about United btw not Bournemouth who somehow managed to score 3 or more times in three successive matches at Old Trafford which is the first time any side has managed that. Ever.

Back-To-Back Wins Incoming?

The Red Devils are looking to make it 6 points from 6 when the Cherries travel to Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim will seek to continue the momentum from their best performance of the season after a 4-1 win over the might Wolves.

Ruben Amorim Bournemouth Press Conference: Reaction

Not the best update in terms of availability for United as Amorim says that De Ligt and Maguire are still injured while Sesko has food poisoning. He will be assessed before Monday night.

Best Performance Of The Season!

Well, I suppose that that isn't anything special considering the level of opponent, with all due respect to Wolves. We didn't expect anything less other than a convincing United victory. Thankfully, that's what we got 🙌.

Why Were We Concerned? 🤔😅

Yes, Ruben's Reds went to Molineux and picked apart a Wolves side who have just 2 points from 15 games. Many (including myself) saw this as a potential banana skin for United and maybe even Amorim's last game should things have gone completely awry.

Surely Not?

I feel there's no need to tell you what's coming because you know with the poor record of Wolves and not scoring in millennia, the game against us will not only see them play like prime Barcelona but one where they will score and perhaps win.

Ruben Amorim's Wolves Press Conference: Reaction

“You ask me always the same thing. I understand what you are saying. You love Kobbie. He starts for England, but that doesn’t mean I need to put Kobbie when I feel I shouldn’t put Kobbie.”

Another MAJOR Manager Mess Up!

The problem with games such as these is that we've been here soooooooooo many times before we end up saying the same things, complain about the same problems, only for us to make the same mistakes in next game.

I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMOREEE!!!

You know what, forget the standard format of these reviews, I'm just gonna talk. In South Africa, these mid-week games kick off at 22:00. They finish tomorrow. People in the Middle East, Asia, Australia are waking up in the...

Ruben Amorim's West Ham Press Conference: Reaction

Not the best of team news although Cunha is back but there are some concerns over two unnamed players. The United boss also discussed Cunha, Yoro, Dalot and receiving abuse online.

Time To Kick On 👊

United got back to winning ways with a win over Crystal Palace last time out thanks to goals by Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount. Amorim and his team were in need of those 3 points after the disaster that was Everton in our last home game.

BIG in For Amorim!

Ruben and his Reds got what was a HUGE 3 points at a ground where victories have been scarce over the years. After their dismal display at home to Everton a week ago, the United boss was in desperate need of a result at Palace.

AMORIM LIFETIME CONTRACT!

United do the seemingly unthinkable and actually get a win at Selhurst Park, a stadium in which we hadn't won at since 2020 and against a side that we hadn't scored against in four matches.

Ruben Amorim's Crystal Palace Press Conference: Reaction

A tough week is what Amorim called the last few days after that embarrassing 1-0 loss to Everton at Old Trafford on Monday night. He now has to see his unpredictable United side travel to a ground in which they haven't tasted victory at since 2020!

What re We Going o Get This Time? 👀

That trust was gone a long time ago but due to the five-game unbeaten run, it felt like perhaps we were turning a corner. We hadn't gone on such a run since 22/23 and it wasn't wrong of us to believe that maybe this time, it was for real.

Messed Up. BIG Time.

I thought we appeared too rushed at times especially after the Everton red card. United looked too panicked almost as if they had to get the equalizer right away and while yes, getting the next goal asap was needed, the way we went about trying to get it was not.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE!

With a five game unbeaten run behind them and a strong showing from multiple players during the international break, a home game against a decent Everton side on what was the manager's one year anniversary of his first game in charge...

Man Utd v Everton: Preview MW 12

How good is it to have proper football back? I missed. I really did. And I find that to be a step in the right direction because it means that United are not shite! To be looking forward to matches shows that we are doing something right.

"I expect a team with more control and more dominance"

The United boss was back in front of the media ahead of the Monday night fixture against Everton. United are unbeaten in five with the MUFC manager looking at extending that run.

Spurs 2-2 Man Utd: 5 Things Learned

Back-to-back 2-2 draws for United felt like back-to-back defeats when looking at how we ended up with those points. After taking the lead in both of our last two matches, we would've hoped to have taken all 3 come the final whistle yet we're happy to walk away with a point.

FFS!!! 🤦‍♂️

Before we get into it, I just want to apologize to all the neutrals who watched that because that is one of the most anti-football games I've seen in a while. Well actually, since the Europa League final.

Ruben Amorim's Tottenham Press Conference - Reaction

Ahead of United's crunch trip to Hottenham Totspur, Ruben Amorim discussed how he feels his team are better but still need a lot of improvement, why there have been fewer injuries and the recent comments of a legend.

Spurs v Man Utd: Preview MW11

Ruben's Reds take on another big six opponent making it a clean sweep (for the first round) as we travel to 3 point lane. United will come up against Thomas Frank's Spurs in one of the blockbuster fixtures this weekend.

Forest 2-2 Man Utd: 5 Things Learned

Ruben's Reds didn't take advantage of a Forest side who hadn't won in the league since opening day and hadn't scored at home in three. After three wins on the bounce, many expected a fourth.

Missed Opportunity

This was typical United. Only we can go to the champions and pick up a deserved victory and then in our next away game, drop points at a side in the relegation zone and who's had more managers than wins.

Ruben Amorim talks about his year as Man Utd manager

Forest on Saturday will mark the one year anniversary of Ruben Amorim's first weekend in charge as Man Utd manager. He will want to make that a happy anniversary but admits that things will be tough on Saturday.

Forest v Man Utd: Preview MW10

Ruben's Reds are on the rampage and are seeking their fourth straight victory! Crazy to think that a few weeks ago, he was under serious pressure with major question marks about his future.

Man Utd 4-2 Brighton: 5 Things Learned

RUBEN'S REDS ARE COOKINGGGG!!!! 🔥 Three wins on the bounce, into the European positions, ahead of title holders Loserpool, above WoRlD cHaMpIoNs Chelsea and next thing you know, we're on a title charge.

Amorim Turns A Corner?

Many saw this game against Brighton as a more important one that Liverpool due to the fact that these were the type of matches where United let themselves down after a good performance against a top side.

Ren Amorim's Brighton Press Conference: Reaction

The manager discussed last week's match winner's contract situation, what he took away from the recent wins, Brighton and his skipper coming up to 300 appearances for the club.

Man Utd v Brighton: Preview MW 9

It is unfortunate that we feel this way about our team in that they can pick up an unlikely win over the great enemy yet we have no idea whether we can perform in the next match.

Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd: 5 Things Learned

For me, that is the most important. Yes there was a bit of luck when looking at the three times LFC hit the post and both Gakpo and Salah missing sitters but that's not our problem.

SIR RUBEN AMORIM!

You know, these are the games we watch football for. These are the games we live for. Having to wait two weeks as well after an international break was tough, but so worth that wait in the end.

Ruben Amorim's Liverpool Press Conference

MUFC manager Ruben Amorim seeks to end his search for his first back-to-back league victories as he takes his United side to the greatest foe. Should he manage to end that duck at Anfield, what a statement that would be.

Liverpool v Man Utd: Preview MW 8

The BIGGEST game in English football and if you ask me, it's the biggest game in ALL of football. Man Utd have been embarrassed by LFC in recent years (and how) but it is the current champions that find themselves...

The Perfect Game

Ruben Amorim was in dire need of such a win and display from his side after all of the pressure he's had to endure so far this season. A lot of it was brought upon by himself with his choices but as you'll see, he did make amends for them in this match.

HUGE WIN FOR AMORIM!

This was as straight forward a win as he could've asked for as the home side never really had to worry too much against a Sunderland side that showed nothing of the team that was actually in 5th before this game week.

Amorim Defiant On His Style Of Play

The United boss spoke to the media ahead of what is fast-becoming his biggest make or break game at Old Trafford and he's had a few of those in his 11 months at the club.

Make or Break!

Amorim has nowhere to hide on this one. Against Brentford, we know that we've had trouble at the Gtech Community Stadium in the past and he also had the excuse of playing away from home...

A Matter Of Time?

Amorim once again failed to win back-to-back games as MUFC boss as his side were utter shite and deservedly loss to Brentford in a match that had several similarities to the defeat at Grimsby.

Disappointing team news, showing urgency, every game is a final

Ahead of United’s trip to Brentford, United manager Ruben Amorim gave us some interesting updates on team news, what he wants to see from his team on the pitch and off it, and not knowing what to expect from his players.

Can Amorim Get Back-To-Back Wins?

Ruben Amorim will be hoping his side's victory over Chelsea will be the stepping stone for success. He takes his Man Utd team to a tricky Brentford outfit who always seem to cause the Red Devils trouble.

GIVE AMORIM LIFETIME CONTRACT 😭😭

But thankfully, it wasn't. It was the right way round. Man Utd and Ruben Amorim beat Chelsea in a crazy game at Old Trafford which meant it was Amorim's first back-to-back victories at home in the league.

WE WON A GAME OF FOOTBALL 🙌

But that wasn't the case and Chelsea and Maresca will have to live with the fact that they lost to this Man Utd side 🤣. Tbh, Maresca should be sacked for that. What a marathon of a match.

Players returning, Garnacho, improved performances, new deal?!

Ruben Amorim spoke ahead of what will be another crunch game for the MUFC manager who will no doubt come under scrutiny should he not get a positive result against the Blues.

Amorim's Final Chance?

It almost feels as if every game is Amorim's final chance to save his bacon at Man Utd. After last week's humiliation in the derby (again), the Portuguese came under HUGE fire for his side's frankly, woeful performance against a side that were there for the taking.

We Moving Backwards!

Some have been saying that this derby loss was worse than the 6-3 a few years ago. I think it's more the manner of the defeat rather than the score line that has caused people to think in this way.

'The Good Days Are Coming'

An easy cruise control of a victory for the blue half of Manchester over the Red as Pep's Cityzens trounce Ruben's Reds 3-0 to deliver another hammer blow to the Portuguese and his time at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim's Manchester Derby Press Conference

Amorim spoke to the press ahead of the first derby of the season. He gave us some updates that we may not have wanted but seemed otherwise positive in terms of his mood going into Sunday's crunch game.

First Derby of the Season 🍿

What a game to return to after the annoyance of the international break. Like goodness gracious is it boring AF! At least we did see quite a few goals though, so that's something.

Are We Making Progress?

United picked up their first victory last weekend in what turned out to be a bit of a squeaky bum game. Despite another good performance, Ruben's Reds required an injury time penalty to secure the much-needed 3 points.

Can Amorim Pick Up First Win Of League Campaign?

I wrote this preview before the game against Grimsby. We all know how that went so I don't actually know what to expect from United in this match. Just read it as if that Carabao Cup exit didn't happen 😅.

One Step Forward. Two Steps Back.

Man Utd managed to kill all of the positivity from the Arsenal game dead with one dreary performance against Fulham in just the second game of the season. It really was back to old habits as a lot of what we saw in this draw was strikingly similar...

Same Old United 🤦‍♂️

Ruben Amorim saw his Man United side pick up a disappointing draw at Fulham in the second match of the 26/26 campaign. After what was an encouraging performance against Arsenal despite the loss, hopes were high heading to Craven Cottage.

Can Amorim Get First Win Of Season?

United take on another London club in match 2 of the 25/26 Premier League as Ruben takes his Reds to Craven Cottage to face fellow Portuguese Marco Silva. Both sides with contrasting starts as Fulham picked...

Not The Start Wanted But A Performance To Build Upon

While not the result may wanted, United managed to put up a stellar performance on opening day against the Gunners, one which gave us more positives than negatives and a performance to build upon for the future.

Encouraging But Disappointing

Ruben Amorim's first full campaign in charge began with a home defeat to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side avoiding defeat against the Red Devils for the sixth conservative match in the league as his side managed to claim all 3 points despite a lacklustre performance.

The Old Rivalry To Kick Things Off ⚔

United boast the best opening day record in Premier League history. That should increase further as we take on ARSEnal tomorrow evening. When you have the word arse in your name, you're kinda asking for it 🤷‍♂️.

Ruben Amorim's Arsenal Press Conference

The United boss was back in front of the press ahead of what is going to be some season as the Portuguese takes charge of the Red Devils for his first full campaign. And it doesn't begin with an easy one...

The final presser

Ruben Amorim conducted his final press conference of the season this afternoon for some weird reason (probably to still get over that awful performance on Wednesday) ahead of United's unimportant (for us) clash against Aston Villa.

ALL ON EUROPA!

This match, much like last Sunday's defeat to West Ham, was a complete waste of time. It won't be a game that lives long in the memory, in fact, I've already forgotten about it. There wasn't much going on and even though they weren't great...

More important than some might think

The league is a bust. It has been a bust I wanna say from the start of the season because other than opening day when we were top of the league (ahhh, the good ol' days), there's been no other point where...

Preparing for Chelsea, injury concerns, small margins and more

The Man United manager spoke about how he is going to use the match against Chelsea as some sort of rehearsal for the Europa League final against Spurs. Amorim believes that this game is important for many reasons and is a fixture that he will be taking seriously.

Down into 16th!

It's hard to begin with this one but I suppose we start with the significance of this now 17th loss of the season, 9th at Old Trafford and having the double done over us by West Ham for the first time in 18 years.

Back to league action

While that may suggest we should be coming into this one with a lot of confidence, we've had situations like these throughout the season in which we win well in Europe on the Thursday only to fall short in the league on Sunday.

Focus is on the Europa League

Ruben Amorim conducted his West Ham presser straight after the win over Bilbao and he had a lot to say regarding the situation of the team in the league and what he's going to do in order to try and win the Europa League.

What is the point anymore?

The Red Devils were coming into this one on the back of one hell of a win in Bilbao but similarly to that epic 5-4 over Lyon, this game was followed by a disappointing defeat in the Premier League.

‍Time for rotation

MUFC remained in Spain after their incredible 3-0 win over Bilbao in their semifinal first leg. Due to the quick turnaround and the importance of the second leg, manager Ruben Amorim told us that we should be expecting a lot of changes.

Amorim reveals team news ahead of Brentford

After what turned out to be an incredible night in Bilbao in which United won 3-0, the United boss did reveal that despite that victory, changes are to be expected for Brentford on Sunday.

Honors even 🤝

Despite having a week off before this match, United's focus will have undoubtedly been on Thursday night's semifinal in Bilbao. The last thing the United boss would've wanted to see though, was a team that were flat, toothless and uninspiring.

Should we even bother?

Bournemouth are better than us. Far better. Even though they've had a dip in form, they are still better than the 14th-placed side in the league. Even had we had our strongest XI available, going to the Vitality Stadium is always a tough task.

Team news, loan players, clear idea

Man Utd travel to the impressive Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon for match 34 of the Premier League. Amorim has a lot to think about ahead of this game in terms of team news as next Thursday's first leg of the semifinal against Bilbao will definitely be on his mind.

15th defeat of the season

Ruben Amorim understandably rotated the team as he said he would do post that dramatic comeback against Lyon on Thursday. It was no surprise that United found it difficult to get past a usually stubborn Wolves defense.

A dead rubber?

This preview is being done before that game against Lyon so hopefully we haven't cocked up and our season is still alive. I'm going for a wedding this weekend so it has to be done now. But that is why I say this fixture against Wolves could be a non-event.

That was, expected?

The defeat was foreseen but the manner in which it came about is weirdly United. Just when we think they won’t perform they actually play relatively well and were more than holding their own, in the first half at least.

Free hit for Amorim?

Ruben Amorim and Man Utd continue their away journeys as after a trip to France, they will travel to St James' Park to take on the mightily impressive Toon Army: Newcastle. I say it's a free hit because the league is kind of a waste...

Another performance to build upon

It wasn't the most amazing of derbies. It was pretty drab but that isn't always a bad thing especially when looking at United this season. I'd rather have had a few drab 0-0s than some of the matches we've seen.

Midchester derby

You could see that this was a game between two sides lacking quality. Both United and City have had awful campaigns yet when it comes to the derby, one would think that things would ramp up.

196th Derby incoming

Old rivals take to the pitch again as Pep's sky blues roll up to Old Trafford to take on Ruben's Reds as Manchester comes to a standstill for one of the biggest matches of the season. Both sides could do...

Team ins and outs, City and KDB, Garnacho, 2028 title charge

Ahead of the 196th Manchester Derby, Ruben Amorim gave us his thoughts about our opponents, needing to improve as well as some interesting thoughts about what needs to happen in order to try and win the league by 2028.

Not the worst from United, but not the best either

Indeed, we actually saw a decent all round game from Amorim's team despite the defeat. There was progress in some aspects of the game that he can take away as positives yet some old habits returned.

Expected, but still disappointing

We knew exactly what we were going to get, yet it still hurts. This match went as most predicted as Forest and ex-Red Anthony Elanga get the 1-0 victory over Ruben's Reds. Nuno Espirito Santo becomes the first...

One of the toughest places to go to

April Fool's day begins with the clowns (I just had to 🤣) returning to action as Man United travel to the high-flying Nottingham Forest to get arguably the most important part of their season up and running.

Injury boosts, good energy, looking to win games

The final run-in for the remainder of the 24/25 campaign begins with a difficult trip to the high-flying Nottingham Forest for MUFC. Amorim though, feels his side are in a good place before going into the crunch period of what will make or break this season.

Easy as you like 🤷

A really comfortable evening for Ruben's Reds as United came out victorious at the King Power before heading into the international break. What we saw was a continuation of the good performances...

A lovely evening 👌

Ruben Amorim watched his Man Utd side get back-to-back victories by scoring 7 and conceding 1 in a matter of a couple of days as his team got a routine win over relegation-threatened Leicester.

Another relegation battle on the horizon

A game before the final international break of the season sees United travel to relegation strugglers Leicester and take on former player and manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in the late kick-off to end this matchweek.

Last press conference ahead of international break

Ruben Amorim's Leicester presser was packed full of comments a couple of which were eye opening in terms of what he said about specific players. United will be looking to carry on the momentum...

A good point but a wasted opportunity

Ruben Amorim saw his MUFC side pick up a decent point against second-placed Arsenal at Old Trafford in match 28 of the Premier League. However, with the way the game panned out, victory should've been ours as there were ample chances to get the 3 points.

Ole at the wheel!

That really was peak Ole/COVID ball. Defend and counter, keep a lot of men in defense and try to exploit the space in behind whenever the opposition attack. Simple tactic. But it worked.

A dead rubber if ever there was one

For the first time ever, United v Arsenal will be a dead rubber. It's not something we've ever said before of this fixture and is quite a disappointment but as United are struggling in 14th and while Arsenal are in 2nd...

Expecting the same squad, Sunday's protest, Arteta 'inspiration'

Amorim is unsure about whether Ugarte and Maguire will return for Sunday's clash but did say that it is about survival for that game. "We need to survive Sunday." He says that his players were tired during the final 20 minutes...
