Amorim Aims for Glory in Europa Pantomime…
Once upon a zany time in 2014, Manchester United were as absent in Europe as a penguin at a tropical beach party. Ruben Amorim, now the gallant conductor of United’s hopes, is ready to wipe those sad-mop memories off the pitch this season with a Europa League spectacle worthy of a superhero comic strip! Having kicked the ball into orbit against Athletic Club like it was a wayward satellite, the Red Devils hold a commanding 3-0 lead in their pocket of wonders.
Now, the stage is set for Ole Trafford’s Theatre of Dreams, where Amorim plans to whip out his magic wand and expertly salsa his team back into a European final. Could it be a clash with Bodo/Glimt or a royal rumble against the mighty Spurs? Either way, Amorim, a king of the Portuguese samba scene with trophies galore, is itching to add a shiny European tale to his illustrious collection. Beware, Spurs, because Ruben’s ready to pull off the ol’ sneaky pitch flip.
Back in ’14, Amorim came heartbreakingly close to European glory while sporting the Benfica badge, playing out a 120-minute narrative in Turin more gripping than a telenovela. But alas, penalty kicks were sneakier than a cat burglar! Sevilla’s net-busters pulled the ol’ slipperoo with four perfect spot kicks, leaving poor Ruben gazing into the rain of lost dreams. This time, Amorim is armed with a dream team who can rewrite history and maybe even end with a trophy big enough to use as a giant cereal bowl!
