Why Amorim’s Next Move On Onana Is A Big Call

CUD Wontumi0 CommentsSports,
Among all the chaos around Manchester United’s season and the talk of summer transfer priorities, the goalkeeper situation had not been top of the list. Yes, Andre Onana’s £47.5m transfer was one of those “inherited” deals namechecked by co-owner Sir Jim Ractliffe, as part of the £400m the club still owes on unpaid transfer fees. And Ratcliffe did mention Onana by name as he talked about getting “the house in order” financially, and explaining why it will take time for the club “to move away from the past into a new place in the future”. But when former United midfielder Nemanja Matic…

It’s easy to be a pundit – Amorim hits back at Rooney after FA Cup exit

MAN WontumiSports, ,
Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has hit back at Wayne Rooney’s suggestion that he’s “naive”. The Red Devils were eliminated by Fulham on Sunday night via a penalty shoot-out.

Rooney, who was working as a pundit on the BBC, described Amorim’s claim was “naive”. But Amorim hit back at the former United striker, saying it is was “easy” to speak from a TV studio. “[The Premier League] is…

My Job Is So Hard – Man Utd Boss Ruben Amorim

CUD WontumiSports,
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim said his job is "so hard" after defeat at Tottenham left his side 15th in the Premier League. The Portuguese coach oversaw an eighth loss in 12 league games as James Maddison's 13th-minute goal gave Spurs victory. The Red Devils once again struggled, although Amorim is having to contend with a 12-man injury list that led to him having to fill his bench with youngsters. Amorim, 40, has provided a number of honest post-match news conferences since joining United and was once again in trademark form on Sunday. "I have a lot of problems," he…

Man Utd need to sell players – Amorim

MAN WontumiSports, ,
Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, on Friday said his club needs to sell players. Amorim spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Man United’s Premier League tie with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Portuguese was speaking about transfers for the Red Devils. Man United only signed Ayden Heaven from Arsenal and Patrick Dorgu from Lecce during the January transfer window. The Old Trafford club didn’t strengthen their attacking options, despite Amorim not having enough firepower. Speaking about transfers for Man United, Amorim said as quoted by Fabrizio Romano: “Here it’s simple: to do something we need to SELL players.…

Amorim Says He’d Rather Pick 63-Year-Old Coach Over Rashford

CUD WontumiSports
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has suggested he’d rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford because of a perceived lack of effort. The England forward has not been involved in a matchday squad for United for six weeks and he was left out once again for Sunday’s 1-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League. With the transfer window closing on 3 February, it is unclear what the future holds for Rashford, who Amorim criticised for not showing the attitude of someone “giving the maximum every day”. “It’s always the same reason –…

Maybe The Worst Team In Man Utd History – Amorim

CUD WontumiSports,
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has labelled his team “maybe the worst” in the 147-year history of the club.

United are 13th in the table, 10 points clear of the relegation zone but seven behind 10th-placed Fulham. “In [the last] ten games in Premier League, we won two,” said Amorim. “Imagine what this is for a fan of Manchester United. Imagine what this is for me. “We…

Yankuba Minteh put Brighton ahead in the 5th minute, Kaoru Mitoma made it two in the 60th, and Georginio Rutter put the…
