Forest on Saturday will mark the one year anniversary of Ruben Amorim's first weekend in charge as Man Utd manager. He will want to make that a happy anniversary but admits that things will be tough on Saturday.
Ruben's Reds are on the rampage and are seeking their fourth straight victory! Crazy to think that a few weeks ago, he was under serious pressure with major question marks about his future.
RUBEN'S REDS ARE COOKINGGGG!!!! ๐ฅ Three wins on the bounce, into the European positions, ahead of title holders Loserpool, above WoRlD cHaMpIoNs Chelsea and next thing you know, we're on a title charge.
Many saw this game against Brighton as a more important one that Liverpool due to the fact that these were the type of matches where United let themselves down after a good performance against a top side.
The manager discussed last week's match winner's contract situation, what he took away from the recent wins, Brighton and his skipper coming up to 300 appearances for the club.
It is unfortunate that we feel this way about our team in that they can pick up an unlikely win over the great enemy yet we have no idea whether we can perform in the next match.
For me, that is the most important. Yes there was a bit of luck when looking at the three times LFC hit the post and both Gakpo and Salah missing sitters but that's not our problem.
You know, these are the games we watch football for. These are the games we live for. Having to wait two weeks as well after an international break was tough, but so worth that wait in the end.
MUFC manager Ruben Amorim seeks to end his search for his first back-to-back league victories as he takes his United side to the greatest foe. Should he manage to end that duck at Anfield, what a statement that would be.
The BIGGEST game in English football and if you ask me, it's the biggest game in ALL of football. Man Utd have been embarrassed by LFC in recent years (and how) but it is the current champions that find themselves...
Ruben Amorim was in dire need of such a win and display from his side after all of the pressure he's had to endure so far this season. A lot of it was brought upon by himself with his choices but as you'll see, he did make amends for them in this match.
This was as straight forward a win as he could've asked for as the home side never really had to worry too much against a Sunderland side that showed nothing of the team that was actually in 5th before this game week.
The United boss spoke to the media ahead of what is fast-becoming his biggest make or break game at Old Trafford and he's had a few of those in his 11 months at the club.
Amorim has nowhere to hide on this one. Against Brentford, we know that we've had trouble at the Gtech Community Stadium in the past and he also had the excuse of playing away from home...
Amorim once again failed to win back-to-back games as MUFCย boss as his side were utter shite and deservedly loss to Brentford in a match that had several similarities to the defeat at Grimsby.
Ahead of Unitedโs trip to Brentford, United manager Ruben Amorim gave us some interesting updates on team news, what he wants to see from his team on the pitch and off it, and not knowing what to expect from his players.
Ruben Amorim will be hoping his side's victory over Chelsea will be the stepping stone for success. He takes his Man Utd team to a tricky Brentford outfit who always seem to cause the Red Devils trouble.
But thankfully, it wasn't. It was the right way round. Man Utd and Ruben Amorim beat Chelsea in a crazy game at Old Trafford which meant it was Amorim's first back-to-back victories at home in the league.
But that wasn't the case and Chelsea and Maresca will have to live with the fact that they lost to this Man Utd side ๐คฃ. Tbh, Maresca should be sacked for that. What a marathon of a match.
Ruben Amorim spoke ahead of what will be another crunch game for the MUFC manager who will no doubt come under scrutiny should he not get a positive result against the Blues.
It almost feels as if every game is Amorim's final chance to save his bacon at Man Utd. After last week's humiliation in the derby (again), the Portuguese came under HUGE fire for his side's frankly, woeful performance against a side that were there for the taking.
Some have been saying that this derby loss was worse than the 6-3 a few years ago. I think it's more the manner of the defeat rather than the score line that has caused people to think in this way.
An easy cruise control of a victory for the blue half of Manchester over the Red as Pep's Cityzens trounce Ruben's Reds 3-0 to deliver another hammer blow to the Portuguese and his time at Old Trafford.
Amorim spoke to the press ahead of the first derby of the season. He gave us some updates that we may not have wanted but seemed otherwise positive in terms of his mood going into Sunday's crunch game.
What a game to return to after the annoyance of the international break. Like goodness gracious is it boring AF! At least we did see quite a few goals though, so that's something.
United picked up their first victory last weekend in what turned out to be a bit of a squeaky bum game. Despite another good performance, Ruben's Reds required an injury time penalty to secure the much-needed 3 points.
I wrote this preview before the game against Grimsby. We all know how that went so I don't actually know what to expect from United in this match. Just read it as if that Carabao Cup exit didn't happen ๐ .
Man Utd managed to kill all of the positivity from the Arsenal game dead with one dreary performance against Fulham in just the second game of the season. It really was back to old habits as a lot of what we saw in this draw was strikingly similar...
Ruben Amorim saw his Man United side pick up a disappointing draw at Fulham in the second match of the 26/26 campaign. After what was an encouraging performance against Arsenal despite the loss, hopes were high heading to Craven Cottage.
United take on another London club in match 2 of the 25/26 Premier League as Ruben takes his Reds to Craven Cottage to face fellow Portuguese Marco Silva. Both sides with contrasting starts as Fulham picked...
While not the result may wanted, United managed to put up a stellar performance on opening day against the Gunners, one which gave us more positives than negatives and a performance to build upon for the future.
Ruben Amorim's first full campaign in charge began with a home defeat to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side avoiding defeat against the Red Devils for the sixth conservative match in the league as his side managed to claim all 3 points despite a lacklustre performance.
United boast the best opening day record in Premier League history. That should increase further as we take on ARSEnal tomorrow evening. When you have the word arse in your name, you're kinda asking for it ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
The United boss was back in front of the press ahead of what is going to be some season as the Portuguese takes charge of the Red Devils for his first full campaign. And it doesn't begin with an easy one...
Ruben Amorim conducted his final press conference of the season this afternoon for some weird reason (probably to still get over that awful performance on Wednesday) ahead of United's unimportant (for us) clash against Aston Villa.
This match, much like last Sunday's defeat to West Ham, was a complete waste of time. It won't be a game that lives long in the memory, in fact, I've already forgotten about it. There wasn't much going on and even though they weren't great...
The league is a bust. It has been a bust I wanna say from the start of the season because other than opening day when we were top of the league (ahhh, the good ol' days), there's been no other point where...
The Man United manager spoke about how he is going to use the match against Chelsea as some sort of rehearsal for the Europa League final against Spurs. Amorim believes that this game is important for many reasons and is a fixture that he will be taking seriously.
It's hard to begin with this one but I suppose we start with the significance of this now 17th loss of the season, 9th at Old Trafford and having the double done over us by West Ham for the first time in 18 years.
While that may suggest we should be coming into this one with a lot of confidence, we've had situations like these throughout the season in which we win well in Europe on the Thursday only to fall short in the league on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim conducted his West Ham presser straight after the win over Bilbao and he had a lot to say regarding the situation of the team in the league and what he's going to do in order to try and win the Europa League.
The Red Devils were coming into this one on the back of one hell of a win in Bilbao but similarly to that epic 5-4 over Lyon, this game was followed by a disappointing defeat in the Premier League.
MUFC remained in Spain after their incredible 3-0 win over Bilbao in their semifinal first leg. Due to the quick turnaround and the importance of the second leg, manager Ruben Amorim told us that we should be expecting a lot of changes.
After what turned out to be an incredible night in Bilbao in which United won 3-0, the United boss did reveal that despite that victory, changes are to be expected for Brentford on Sunday.
Despite having a week off before this match, United's focus will have undoubtedly been on Thursday night's semifinal in Bilbao. The last thing the United boss would've wanted to see though, was a team that were flat, toothless and uninspiring.
Bournemouth are better than us. Far better. Even though they've had a dip in form, they are still better than the 14th-placed side in the league. Even had we had our strongest XI available, going to the Vitality Stadium is always a tough task.
Man Utd travel to the impressive Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon for match 34 of the Premier League. Amorim has a lot to think about ahead of this game in terms of team news as next Thursday's first leg of the semifinal against Bilbao will definitely be on his mind.
Ruben Amorim understandably rotated the team as he said he would do post that dramatic comeback against Lyon on Thursday. It was no surprise that United found it difficult to get past a usually stubborn Wolves defense.
This preview is being done before that game against Lyon so hopefully we haven't cocked up and our season is still alive. I'm going for a wedding this weekend so it has to be done now. But that is why I say this fixture against Wolves could be a non-event.
The defeat was foreseen but the manner in which it came about is weirdly United. Just when we think they wonโt perform they actually play relatively well and were more than holding their own, in the first half at least.
Ruben Amorim and Man Utd continue their away journeys as after a trip to France, they will travel to St James' Park to take on the mightily impressive Toon Army: Newcastle. I say it's a free hit because the league is kind of a waste...
It wasn't the most amazing of derbies. It was pretty drab but that isn't always a bad thing especially when looking at United this season. I'd rather have had a few drab 0-0s than some of the matches we've seen.
You could see that this was a game between two sides lacking quality. Both United and City have had awful campaigns yet when it comes to the derby, one would think that things would ramp up.
Old rivals take to the pitch again as Pep's sky blues roll up to Old Trafford to take on Ruben's Reds as Manchester comes to a standstill for one of the biggest matches of the season. Both sides could do...
Ahead of the 196th Manchester Derby, Ruben Amorim gave us his thoughts about our opponents, needing to improve as well as some interesting thoughts about what needs to happen in order to try and win the league by 2028.
Indeed, we actually saw a decent all round game from Amorim's team despite the defeat. There was progress in some aspects of the game that he can take away as positives yet some old habits returned.
We knew exactly what we were going to get, yet it still hurts. This match went as most predicted as Forest and ex-Red Anthony Elanga get the 1-0 victory over Ruben's Reds. Nuno Espirito Santo becomes the first...
April Fool's day begins with the clowns (I just had to ๐คฃ) returning to action as Man United travel to the high-flying Nottingham Forest to get arguably the most important part of their season up and running.
The final run-in for the remainder of the 24/25 campaign begins with a difficult trip to the high-flying Nottingham Forest for MUFC. Amorim though, feels his side are in a good place before going into the crunch period of what will make or break this season.
A really comfortable evening for Ruben's Reds as United came out victorious at the King Power before heading into the international break. What we saw was a continuation of the good performances...
Ruben Amorim watched his Man Utd side get back-to-back victories by scoring 7 and conceding 1 in a matter of a couple of days as his team got a routine win over relegation-threatened Leicester.
A game before the final international break of the season sees United travel to relegation strugglers Leicester and take on former player and manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in the late kick-off to end this matchweek.
Ruben Amorim's Leicester presser was packed full of comments a couple of which were eye opening in terms of what he said about specific players. United will be looking to carry on the momentum...
Ruben Amorim saw his MUFC side pick up a decent point against second-placed Arsenal at Old Trafford in match 28 of the Premier League. However, with the way the game panned out, victory should've been ours as there were ample chances to get the 3 points.
That really was peak Ole/COVID ball. Defend and counter, keep a lot of men in defense and try to exploit the space in behind whenever the opposition attack. Simple tactic. But it worked.
For the first time ever, United v Arsenal will be a dead rubber. It's not something we've ever said before of this fixture and is quite a disappointment but as United are struggling in 14th and while Arsenal are in 2nd...
Amorim is unsure about whether Ugarte and Maguire will return for Sunday's clash but did say that it is about survival for that game. "We need to survive Sunday." He says that his players were tired during the final 20 minutes...
Indeed, United needed to win more than anything but sometimes, due to circumstances in the game, how you end up winning could mean a lot. As we do, we didn't make it easy for ourselves as we got over the line...
I don't think many cared about the performance as all we wanted was a win. Even Ruben Amorim was talking about that before the match saying that he just wants the 3 points. But not only did we get that much-needed victory...
While that is a joke, the sad reality is that we are in a bit of a relegation scrap. I know that we do have a 13 point buffer from us in 15th and our opponents in 18th, but still, to think in this way and mention the R-word, is so deflating.
Man Utd host Ipswich at Old Trafford tomorrow night in what is becoming an increasingly pressured season domestically for the Red Devils. No victory in three league outings has Ruben Amorim struggling on the field whilst there is much turmoil off it.
Man United managed to come away from Goodison Park with what turned out to be an entertaining point as after 70 minutes, the team were 2-0 down but thanks to late (ish) strikes by captain Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte...
Ruben Amorim picked up his first point in three games after his United side had to come back from 2 goals down to salvage a draw in their final-ever visit to Goodison Park. While that may sound like a throwback...
This is a big game for MUFC as Amorim has already had three losses in a row. Defeat to Everton would mean that would happen for a second time during his 3-month reign, not a record that he would want to add...
As much as the United boss can try, it appears fruitless in terms of trying to get his players to adapt to a system that they're clearly not good enough to play in to a point where apparently people within are calling for a change of approach.
It was a disappointing match because while we are crap, we should've gotten at least a point from the Spurs Stadium. In a game where we actually created good chances, we couldn't take them.
Yes, that is now our position in the table after suffering a third defeat against Spurs this season. Ange has now played five, won four, drawn one and lost zero against us in his time as Spurs boss.
United will travel to Hottenham Totspur and take on Ange's side for the third time this season and unfortunately for the Red Devils, it has already been two strikes.Spurs have defeated us on the previous two occasions...
Ruben Amorim was handed his 5th defeat in seven games at Old Trafford in the Premier League after their 2-0 loss to Palace who we've now not scored against in four meetings. United moved...
On such a significant day for many reasons, United do what they always do and end up spoiling our day. After the positivity of signing Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven and on a day when we honor the Busby Babes...
Crystal's Palace travel to Old Trafford this afternoon to take on a United side that look to be on the up after three straight wins and just one loss in 2025 after seven games played. Ruben's Reds...
Man Utd will try to extend their winning streak to four when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday at Old Trafford. MUFC picked up a good win last time out in the league and after a good performance on...
Ruben Amorim picked up his second win in seven league games and second clean sheet in 12 PL matches. Both were necessary however, how his team got there remains a mystery because that performance was shocking.
A wasted 90 minutes of our lives was this game. We know that itโs always tight between Fulham and United but I think this was the most boring of the lot. The past games all had some action but this one, nothing, nothing.
Fulham has always been a tough place to go to even when we were the best team in the world. So if we struggled then, what chances do we have as the worst team in the club's history?
Man Utd travel to Fulham on Sunday night in match 23 of the Premier League. Amorim will be looking to take some of the momentum from the late win over Rangers into what is another crunch game for his side.
There is no energy from the start which helps nobody especially the crowd who pay good money to go to games and have to watch that shite. There has to be a reason for the people to want to come to games...
Amorim was coming into this one on the back of three good results but results can mask performances as the win over Southampton was not the best of displays from his side. We should've lost that game.
The Seagulls fly to Old Trafford and have become quite the bogey side for United. Every time we face them, we seem to be out-performed in all facets of the game. Brighton are also doing much better than us...
One game done and another is on the horizon. Just like that. After the much-needed win over the Saints, Ruben Amorim will be looking for some more consistency on Sunday for the visit of Brighton.
What turned out to be a memorable night wasn't always so as in typical United fashion, they did give us a scare. Luckily, that nightmare didn't last all game and the last 10 minutes gave us the result we all wanted...
We just wanted to make Thursday night interesting and entertaining. With everyone expecting a straightforward United win, we thought it would be a good idea to go against the grain a little ๐คฃ.
However, Ruben Amorim was quick to dismiss this game as a potential straight forward win. He believes that this match will teach him more about his players than the two unlikely positive results at Arsenal and Liverpool.
The 39-year-old delivered another top presser ahead of match 21 as the Devils face the Saints at Old Trafford. The first league action in over a week and after the heroic victory on Sunday, reality bites as United sit in 14th in the table.
Consistency is the word. It's something mentioned by both the manager and captain post-match as despite what was one heck of a performance by United neither Amorim nor Bruno were entirely happy.
Yet it definitely wasn't what most predicted. Many (including myself) thought that this would be a walk in the park for Liverpool and perhaps they did too given how flat they were compared to their usual high standards.
A home game against their biggest rivals at one of their lowest points at the start of 2025 is exactly what Arne Slot would've wanted to further stamp their authority on this incredible first season of his at Anfield.
Ruben Amorim drops some positive news in that United are close to an agreement over a new contract for Amad while the boss also confirms that the club "will trigger our option [to extend Harry Maguire's contract by a year]."
To be honest, any ref at this point would've been a stupid decision because they're all awful but when it comes to the awful-est of the lot, Michael Oliver is right up there. He along with Anthony Taylor...
As we are halfway through the campaign in season 24/25 of the Premier League, I thought I'd take a feather out of Sir Alex Ferguson's cap and try to predict our next 19 fixtures and see how many points we end up with.
We were completely run through as they couldn't cope with Joelinton, Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes who were all over Casemiro and Eriksen. They ran the show and ultimately controlled the game.
