Amorim Critiques Man United’s Unpreparedness…
Ruben Amorim claims Manchester United were about as prepared for European football as a penguin is for a hot desert walk. Despite reaching the Europa League final, United’s domestic form resembled a roller coaster that forgot where the tracks were, winning just seven out of 27 Premier League matches post-Amorim takeover. Their tumble to a 15th-place finish was their worst since 1974, a time when dinosaurs might as well have been playing midfield. United snagged a Europa League spot only after lifting the 2024 FA Cup, thanks to a victory over Manchester City.
With no European matches this season, United’s schedule lightened, resembling a feather in a windstorm. Amorim is ready to juggle players like a circus clown with three games this week, featuring a lineup shuffle for the League Cup second round against Grimsby Town. He emphasized the need for rotation to keep everyone on their toes, like a cat walking on a piano. Stars like Andre Onana and Harry Maguire may make appearances, while Benjamin Sesko might finally get his chance to shine. Noussair Mazraoui predicts a return soon, though not before finishing his mysterious journey to recover from the enigmatic injury that even Sherlock Holmes couldn’t crack.
