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...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
Indeed, United needed to win more than anything but sometimes, due to circumstances in the game, how you end up winning could mean a lot. As we do, we didn't make it easy for ourselves as we got over the line...
I don't think many cared about the performance as all we wanted was a win. Even Ruben Amorim was talking about that before the match saying that he just wants the 3 points. But not only did we get that much-needed victory...
While that is a joke, the sad reality is that we are in a bit of a relegation scrap. I know that we do have a 13 point buffer from us in 15th and our opponents in 18th, but still, to think in this way and mention the R-word, is so deflating.
Man Utd host Ipswich at Old Trafford tomorrow night in what is becoming an increasingly pressured season domestically for the Red Devils. No victory in three league outings has Ruben Amorim struggling on the field whilst there is much turmoil off it.
Man United managed to come away from Goodison Park with what turned out to be an entertaining point as after 70 minutes, the team were 2-0 down but thanks to late (ish) strikes by captain Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte...
Ruben Amorim picked up his first point in three games after his United side had to come back from 2 goals down to salvage a draw in their final-ever visit to Goodison Park. While that may sound like a throwback...
This is a big game for MUFC as Amorim has already had three losses in a row. Defeat to Everton would mean that would happen for a second time during his 3-month reign, not a record that he would want to add...
As much as the United boss can try, it appears fruitless in terms of trying to get his players to adapt to a system that they're clearly not good enough to play in to a point where apparently people within are calling for a change of approach.
It was a disappointing match because while we are crap, we should've gotten at least a point from the Spurs Stadium. In a game where we actually created good chances, we couldn't take them.
Yes, that is now our position in the table after suffering a third defeat against Spurs this season. Ange has now played five, won four, drawn one and lost zero against us in his time as Spurs boss.
United will travel to Hottenham Totspur and take on Ange's side for the third time this season and unfortunately for the Red Devils, it has already been two strikes.Spurs have defeated us on the previous two occasions...
Ruben Amorim was handed his 5th defeat in seven games at Old Trafford in the Premier League after their 2-0 loss to Palace who we've now not scored against in four meetings. United moved...
On such a significant day for many reasons, United do what they always do and end up spoiling our day. After the positivity of signing Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven and on a day when we honor the Busby Babes...
Crystal's Palace travel to Old Trafford this afternoon to take on a United side that look to be on the up after three straight wins and just one loss in 2025 after seven games played. Ruben's Reds...
Man Utd will try to extend their winning streak to four when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday at Old Trafford. MUFC picked up a good win last time out in the league and after a good performance on...
Ruben Amorim picked up his second win in seven league games and second clean sheet in 12 PL matches. Both were necessary however, how his team got there remains a mystery because that performance was shocking.
A wasted 90 minutes of our lives was this game. We know that it’s always tight between Fulham and United but I think this was the most boring of the lot. The past games all had some action but this one, nothing, nothing.
Fulham has always been a tough place to go to even when we were the best team in the world. So if we struggled then, what chances do we have as the worst team in the club's history?
Man Utd travel to Fulham on Sunday night in match 23 of the Premier League. Amorim will be looking to take some of the momentum from the late win over Rangers into what is another crunch game for his side.
There is no energy from the start which helps nobody especially the crowd who pay good money to go to games and have to watch that shite. There has to be a reason for the people to want to come to games...
Amorim was coming into this one on the back of three good results but results can mask performances as the win over Southampton was not the best of displays from his side. We should've lost that game.
The Seagulls fly to Old Trafford and have become quite the bogey side for United. Every time we face them, we seem to be out-performed in all facets of the game. Brighton are also doing much better than us...
One game done and another is on the horizon. Just like that. After the much-needed win over the Saints, Ruben Amorim will be looking for some more consistency on Sunday for the visit of Brighton.
What turned out to be a memorable night wasn't always so as in typical United fashion, they did give us a scare. Luckily, that nightmare didn't last all game and the last 10 minutes gave us the result we all wanted...
We just wanted to make Thursday night interesting and entertaining. With everyone expecting a straightforward United win, we thought it would be a good idea to go against the grain a little 🤣.
However, Ruben Amorim was quick to dismiss this game as a potential straight forward win. He believes that this match will teach him more about his players than the two unlikely positive results at Arsenal and Liverpool.
The 39-year-old delivered another top presser ahead of match 21 as the Devils face the Saints at Old Trafford. The first league action in over a week and after the heroic victory on Sunday, reality bites as United sit in 14th in the table.
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.
