Amorim vs. The All-Seeing Camera!…
Last season, Manchester United fans felt like they’d been nutmegged by fate itself. Their beloved Red Devils were hit with a slump worse than a deflated football, landing a measly 15th place in the Premier League, marking their gloomiest finish in 51 years. Swapping Erik ten Hag for Ruben Amorim didn’t quite fix their swirling woes, as they missed out on the euro feast for the first time in a decade. Amazon, those cheeky TV moguls, whispered sweet nothings about a cash-packed documentary right into United’s ears, only for Amorim to wave them off like a referee on a bad penalty call.
Imagine cameras snooping around the locker rooms, capturing every drop of sweat and every last bit of drama as it unfolds! The infamous ‘All or Nothing’ series could have rolled out some spicy behind-the-scenes stories at Old Trafford. But just like a cat with too many lives, Amorim was worried that the Amazon lens might spook his players and have them running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Reportedly, the offer was hefty—more than £10 million! But no sir, Amorim wants his chaps sharp-eyed and bushy-tailed on the pitch, and he squashed the idea harder than a last-minute goal clearance.
Money talks, but this time, United’s hierarchy listened to Amorim’s request and backed off like a nervous goalkeeper against a stuttering penalty taker. They know Ruben’s got to whip those players into champions without the distraction of a nosy camera crew suggesting they do endless retakes. Bye-bye, potential ridicule! And more importantly, bye-bye, cash infusion! The decision showcases a rare show of solidarity. If Ruben Amorim can pull a magic trick, swapping last season’s despair for next season’s chair at the top, he’ll prove once and for all, you don’t need reality TV to turn reality around!
