Amorim’s Solo Stroll and Obi’s Giant Strides…
Manchester United clocked in at Carrington for their pre-Spain tune-up, hoping to sizzle against Real Sociedad in the Europa League showdown. Having been jilted by the FA Cup, Europa’s their date for a potential trophy win. Competing in next season’s Champions League hinges on a win here—kind of important for wooing star players and fattening the revenue pot. The mood was upbeat as the crew prepped for takeoff, but head honcho Ruben Amorim had some mysterious moves of his own.
Amorim apparently preferred a solo serenade, meandering 200 yards from the squad with a ball for a chat mate. Way to set the mood, boss! Meanwhile, Chido Obi, saddled with the non-travel list, strutted his stuff on the pitch and shamed Fraizer Campbell’s sense of height with his towering presence. Obi might still be a sapling, but Amorim has a soft spot for his brand of green.
Over in skill-ville, Casemiro showed off vintage tricks, earning a thumb-up from Diogo Dalot: “Vintage Casemiro!” Meanwhile, Andre Onana was jazzed, despite recent goalkeeping goofs. If his vibes were infectious, then Christian Eriksen was the zen master, keeping the rondo funds and spirits flowing. With Eriksen leading the newbie gang, it was hard to miss the feel-good training vibes at Carrington!
