Ruben Amorim lost his composure after Manchester United’s 1–1 draw with Leeds. He has been at the club since November 2024 and he is already in open conflict with the people who hired him.
Sound familiar?
Moyes. Van Gaal. Mourinho. Solskjaer. Rangnick. Ten Hag. Now Amorim. Different managers. Same failure. Because the problem at Manchester United is not the coach. It never has been.
As Stringer Bell said in The Wire: “Ain’t no new package. Just gonna put that same shit out in a different colored gelcap.” That is United. Glazers to INEOS, nothing has changed. Just fresh messaging and false hope.
Let's down the reality at Man United. Tactical chaos on the pitch. A power struggle behind the scenes. A club with no football identity that thinks another manager and more spending will fix it.
