Ruben Amorim pre-match press conference | Manchester United v Newcastle United

[@mutimestamps]

00:02 Was United's current difficulties in your mind when you wished to take the job next summer? 00:55 Are you comfortable with the time you have to do the job you need to do? 01:56 Would you consider having Harry Maguire as the captain in Bruno's absence? 02:12 Have you been impressed with Harry Maguire's comeback? 02:38 Do you want referees to protect your players or do they need to be stronger? 03:43 What kind of challenge are you expecting from Newcastle? 04:26 What do you want from the fans against Newcastle?

[@michaelokwa1641]

"Let's not cry about it but do the same thing to the opponents". I love Amorim.

Absolutely agree, the press agenda for English players, and Maguire especially is on show right there.

[@nbro5529]

I think we should let Maguire do only his job. He's playing well now. Adding the captain responsibility might change this, but then there aren't other players that could be captain in this team. Maybe Dalot because he among the most consistent players.

[@nathanielwhite1030]

This is a great manager, we need to stick with him !

[@johnwalton178]

People already blaming amorim but how can you. For the first time in a long time you can see a style and a formation. We are Controlling large portions of the matches 60%+ possession Which is incredible for minimal training and 2/3 matches a week and only being in charge 4 and half weeks. To implement so much. We have no forward play ability Not a single goal scorer Lots of individual mistakes happen I can name on 1 hand the number of players that look like they want to play. The best thing that can happen right now is what's happened We are seeing united for what it is. If we went on a 5 game win streak you don't see the problems they are patched up.

[@md8088]

Man U hit the lottery. This guy is nothing but class!! My team Sporting is picking up the pieces! Amorim is going to win the league in 3-4 years! Forca Amorim!!

[@kebbybbalandau778]

Let's give Amorim time otherwise Man United has no good players to complete the EPL standards. Let them buy good players in consultation with the Coach himself. Amorim can rebuild Man United and bring Glory to the Club and Us Fans.

[@carlosaraujo_2025]

[@SalikKasey]

Amorim is not falling into the trap other managers did. He is showing the true position of this team by making them adapt to his philosophy. Sure if he reverted to 4-3-3 they will have 3-4 more points but then he can’t get rid of all these protected players. So think what you would do if you were in Amorim’s position. He can’t remove all in one go.

[@EsybabygoldNwobodo]

Amorim is bless wit wisdom, he s not a panic manager like tenhag, who rushly buy Anthony, casemilo to cover up after one season he deformed, every manager DT want to succeed will start frm screech

[@GuilhermeSantos-hd6kl]

the rules are either not being implemented or just wrong. In no way should players be able to do that to GK, otherwise in the future we will see teams just playing for corners and trying to score on that way bcs its much easier than in open play. It's like in a videogame you find a glitch

[@SausageFingers73]

Right there , the Harry Maguire press love-in is right on show, so obvious

[@JoeBob79569]

Whoever the reporter was that asked about Maguire being captain should be banned from United pressers. This question was intended for nothing but to create more friction in the team. A normal unbiased question like this should have been to simply ask the manager who is going to be captain. Because we all know how Maguire struggled when he was captain, so this question was attempted sabotage, pure and simple. But then again, this reporter sounded like such an idiot he may very well have just been trying to help Ruben out with a helpful suggestion.

2 or 3 more defeats and Amorim and his 6 man coaching staff will be sacked. Instead of trying to implement a new formation Amorim should have worked on the basics - there are obvious problems: 1) Shambolic defending of corners and free kicks 2) Failure to score enough goals, and he should have 3) Replacing Onana, a goal keeper who is a mistake waiting to happen n every game. After just 6 weeks the man who replaced Amorim at Sporting is about to be sacked. Amorim, if he loses his next 2 or 3 more games will be sacked too.

[@goncalo4979]

The formation is good he just doens’t have the perfect players for that. I’m sure that if he wanted to he could play in a 433 and win some points,but like he said,its a short-therme formula,and its better to suffer now and in the next year in the same stage Man U be a competitive team.The rest I agree with you there are some things that they have to pay attention specially the corners
