I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it.
The seeds Ruben Amorim has planted will only become visible with time.
He’s done the hardest thing you can ask of a manager, and whoever follows him will inherit a far easier job because of it.
Not everyone will see or understand that, but that’s their problem.
🚨🎙️ | Andy Mitten on the Manchester United dressing room:
"It was deeply complicated. It is to Ruben Amorim’s CREDIT that he made inroads into making it less complicated by moving on more difficult players.
“The dressing room now, from all indications that I get, is a GOOD
- Amorim made these players train with high intensity.
- Carrick shortened training sessions and dropped the intensity.
- Amorim got rid of Rashford and Garnacho because of discipline. He showed players their place and tried to bring standards back.
- Carrick brought Rashford back and starts him EVERY SINGLE GAME despite everything that happened.
- Amorim raised the physicality and fitness levels of these players.
- Carrick didn’t even make them run in pre-season and these players are running less than literally EVERY opponent.
Michael Carrick has DESTROYED literally every bit of progress made over the last 2 years. I was a big advocate for him getting the permanent job, but man… WHAT A WASTE OF EVERYONE’S TIME.
Got rid of Garnacho.
Got rid of Antony.
Sent Rashford and Sancho on loan
Got rid of Højlund.
Sent Onana on loan
Signed Matheus Cunha.
Signed Bryan Mbeumo.
Signed Benjamin Šeško.
Unlocked the best version of Amad Diallo.
Called out Jason Wilcox.
Called out the board.
Destroyed player power.
Raised standards.
But them top reds still found a reason to turn on him. He was the closest we ever got to a turnaround. But they beheaded him and shattered everything he had built.
Big accounts will be scared to say this but I'm going to say it;
Carrick is NOT the man to take Man Utd back to the very top.
He did a fantastic job steadying the ship last season, but any serious club would've thanked him, wished him well, and stuck with the plan of getting a top-level manager to take it up from there.
Before positive toxic fans start saying it's just 5 games into the season, please know that I said this last season before Carrick was given the job permanently.
He's a club legend whom we all love, but we must put sentiments aside and speak the truth which is that he is not the man. The job is obviously bigger than him.
This shite is on INEOS for taking the cheaper option to save cash instead of getting a top manager.
While the whole fanbase was talking about how the formation and system were the problem, I was talking about these players’ quality, mentality and work rate.
I was called an ‘Amorimsexual’ and all sorts of names. I was told I was tweeting like that for engagement and rage bait.
So how’s it going now? You’re free of the inverting CB. You’re free of the back 3. Why is the same shit happening again? Why does the same cycle keep repeating itself?
Or maybe it’s time to finally realise that the same story will repeat itself with every manager and under every system, UNLESS THE QUALITY OF THIS SQUAD CHANGES.
🎙️Ruben Amorim | December 2025:
“Players, the kids, they feel ENTITLED. They feel free to respond to the manager with a picture, my office is open, NOBODY is coming to talk to me.
I think it’s the feeling of ENTITLEMENT we have at our club. And sometimes strong words are not bad words, sometimes difficult moments are NOT bad things for the kids.
That’s why you guys talk about a lot of players nowadays that they speak and they go against the clubs, because they feel ENTITLEMENT.
And then you have legends saying that: 'If you DON'T play then LEAVE' because everyone ELSE is WRONG.
Instead, let's think about: 'Let's STAY, let's FIGHT. Let's overcome, maybe the manager is wrong.'
So I have that feeling all the time that we need to FIGHT against that feeling.
And again, sometimes I'm the first one to say that I'm failing this club inside the pitch. I have that feeling, we are not performing the way we should be.
But OUTSIDE the pitch, I GUARANTEE you, I'm NOT failing this club.
The players sometimes forget about what it means to play for Manchester United. We as a club sometimes forget who are ARE.
Ralf Rangnick in 2020: “I’m not sure if Luke Shaw is still at the level you need for a club like Manchester United.”
2026: Luke Shaw is STILL United’s starting left back 6 years later and the club refused to sign a new LB this summer.
Amorim🗣️ Amass is struggling in Championship. Fast forward, Amass was sold for 4m. Where’s the lie
Collyer is nowhere to be found, he’ll be sold for 3m. Why selling him if he’s good enough?
Chido played 1 preseason game and he's nowhere to be found. I ask again where’s the lie?
🚨⚠️ Amorim: “Toby Collyer is not playing at West Brom. Harry Amass is struggling in Championship. Chido is not always starter in the U21s”.
“I played them when people said: sack the manager. You can see I’m not worried. I want to win. If he's the right guy, I will put him in”.
During his time at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim had a STRICT policy of demanding players to show up the day after a fixture, whether a loss, win or draw. This remained his standard practice throughout his time at the club.
After most of the matches, the players who played the majority of the match did light, low-intensity recovery work to look after their bodies. WHILE Anyone who played fewer than 45 minutes was put through a full, intense training session to keep their fitness levels up.
Incase you’re wondering why Rashford and Co didn’t like like Amorim, this is a solid reason.
3 years ago, they finished bottom of their Champions League group.
4 years ago, City fucking smashed them 6-3.
5 years ago, Liverpool fucking smashed them 7-0.
6 years ago, they lost a cup final to Villarreal a club that had never won a major trophy in their history.
7 years ago, Mourinho whom they had fucking sacked from the club took over Tottenham and fucking smashed them 6-1.
Do you count these too, you stupid fucking sons of bitches?
1 year ago today, Ruben Amorim shows all the hallmarks of a United manager by hiding at the back of the dugout as Grimsby beat United on pens (2025) #MUFC
Imagine Ruben Amorim was still here.
Harry Maguire probably never gets that new contract. Luke Shaw is almost certainly on the bomb squad alongside Zirkzee, Dalot and several others who have been dragging this club backwards for years.
Rashford? He probably never makes it back into that dressing room.
And that’s the biggest difference.
Amorim was actually trying to break the cycle. Get rid of the players who had failed, underperformed, or simply become part of the culture that keeps dragging United back to mediocrity. Then replace them with players who fit the football, the intensity and the direction of the project.
By now, with another few quality signings, we should be walking into the Champions League with opponents genuinely worried about facing Manchester United.
Instead, we’ve become a shock factor for completely different reasons.
We don’t scare teams anymore. We shock them because they can’t believe how far this club has fallen.
The squad should be stabilising. The football should be stabilising. The standards should be stabilising.
Instead, the chaos is only starting to reveal itself.
Manchester United have spent years postponing the painful decisions, protecting players, recycling the same problems and calling it “building.”
Now look at us.
A club that once dictated the market is fighting to escape mid-table mediocrity.
Man United hasn’t just lost its fear factor.
We’ve become a mid-table club with a giant name.
actually it was one of the moments that made me deeply respect him
what those dumb fcks see as a meme and humiliation, i see as pure passion and determination. he doesn't care what others think, he doesn't care how it looks from others POV, for him only the game matters
Tired of seeing people mock Ruben Amorim by posting this photo of him during the Grimsby Town game.
They laugh at him but forget Manchester United scored two goals immediately after he adjusted his tactics using that tactical board.
Nobody is pretending everything was perfect under Amorim.
But you could at least see what he was trying to build… intensity, discipline, fitness, work rate, structure and clear principles in and out of possession.
Even when the results weren’t there, there was an obvious standard he wanted from the team.
Right now under Carrick, I’m struggling to see those same demands.
That’s the worrying part.
I’ll keep saying it… if Rúben Amorim was still at United, we’d be much further along by now.
For the first time in years, you could actually see a modern footballing idea.
In possession: patterns, rotations, structure.
Out of possession: pressing triggers, aggression, organisation.
It wasn’t perfect, but there was an identity.
I’d take that over this aimless, end-to-end kick-and-rush football every single day.
They mocked Amorim for using his tactical board, but he actually inspired a comeback.
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick couldn’t even set up a system to stop newly promoted Hull City from embarrassing him before halftime.
Tactical genius vs PE Teacher. 😭
Coaching career aside, he’s an intelligent human being. He gives you a true, detailed analysis of how he sees things without mincing words.
He’s got a really friendly personality too, and I think that’s why I connect with him.
"We have 2 ways — forget the new idea and try to cope, and next year we'll be here with the same problems.
"Or we start NOW — risk and suffer a little bit, and we'll be better in the next year."
We lost to Arsenal but we dominated
We saw a clear pattern of play
we saw control
We saw intensity
We saw beautiful football
We hit the woodwork twice
We created so many chances
We were unlucky in the end
The football was entertaining
The loss felt painful because we deserved to win but the football we saw made us all happy.
But today against a club that has been in the CHAMPIONSHIP for 10 years
We saw a team out of ideas
We saw a disaster
It was clearly the opposite of what we watched last season in the opener against the league champions.
TIME WILL ALWAYS DO IT'S THING ⏳
🚨 Rúben Amorim: “We prove today that we can win any game in the Premier League”.
“We were the better team against a great team like Arsenal”. ❗️ @BeanymanSports
