Amorim Plans Giant Squad Slim-Down…
In the epic football Uber driver chronicles, Manchester United is preparing for a season with a squad so slim it could make a supermodel blush! Gone are the days of hiring half the village just to look photogenic in a team photo. Back in amnesiac 2014, the squad gathered for a whopping 44 matches as though prepping for a school reunion with every cousin included. Those were the days of 38-player extravaganzas, thanks to the galactic tactical maneuvers of van Gaal, who rotated like a nervous fidget spinner during that notorious League Cup drubbing by MK Dons!
Fast forward to the future and enter stage left, Ruben Amorim, with the management style of a conductor meeting a minimalist band. Amorim, with the decisiveness of a cat selecting a nap spot, eyed that 27-player suggestion and kicked it into touch. Rumblings whisper the magic number is really 26, with three of those barely used fellas called ‘goalkeepers’. The rest are it’s supposed two full XIs plus some extras who could announce themselves on stage when needed. Imagine a football buffet where Van Gaal had the inclination for everything, and now Amorim is the wise traveler packing only essentials!
A parade of characters are lining up for their chance to dance under the red banner, like Chido Obi, whose striking talents threaten to make any defender quake in their boots, and the multi-functional maestro, Bryan Mbeumo, who even the legendary Salah might tip his hat to. Still, worry not, for Hojlund’s one-goal spree raises goosebumps, albeit in a spooky-humorous way. In this wild carousel of kickers, Amorim has a dream: a team thin in numbers but thick in quality, ready to turn every match into a scene from a superhero comic strip!
