Ruben’s Rib-Tickling Press Hoopla…
In a breaking news of ballistic banter, defender Matthijs de Ligt will be watching Manchester United’s upcoming tussle with Athletic Club from his couch, cuddled up with hot chocolate and a knee injury—and you thought TVs were good at drama! Fear not though, the manager, Ruben Amorim, promises it’s only a temporary couch arrest. Eriksen, on the other hand, was AWOL from training but will apparently perform his soccer magic come game day. Clearly, United players are like hidden Easter eggs—sometimes they’re there, sometimes they’re not!
Coach Ruben is using all the tricks in his comic book to prepare for the UEFA Europa showdown. With a whopping first-leg victory already in the kitty, a frolicsome Ruben dismissed any extra injuries with the aloofness of a cat ignoring a laser pointer. He says it’s no real ‘knee’ on the panic button since the rest of his squad is in tip-top form. Accompanied by Alejandro Garnacho, Amorim also hinted that United’s form this season has been as unpredictable as a toddler on a sugar rush!
Meanwhile, the United camp is glowing with confidence. Despite Amorim’s wild claim of orchestrating the ‘worst’ United squad in history —who, mind you, are a mere whisker away from a European title—the Manchester lads seem excited to kick the ball past skepticism and into Championship glory. With catchy optimism and aspirations of a clean sweep, the press conference outperformed a stand-up comedy show!
