I cannot help but feel he got himself sacked on purpose, he has said stupid shit to the press before but this was another level. My guess is he knew a new manager would be coming in the summer and he decided to walk before then rather than deal with this mess anymore.

I think the good results when playing four at the back then switching to three and it not working again underline how little of a shit he gave at the end.

He clearly wants to be a manager and not a coach, and he is never getting that at any of the biggest clubs in Europe even outside of Uniteds messy and dysfunctional setup. His appalling results at United mean he would struggle to get an interview with them.

I cannot help but feel that the current league position of 6th is because other teams have been worse, last ten games they have three wins, two losses and the rest draws, hardly world beating stats.

Round and round it goes. Honestly, what was United thinking? Amorim was well known for the particular style he wants to play. Either the club hierarchy was stupid then and didn't realise that this wasn't a fit for United or they are stupid now, for only just realising that this won't work for the future. In conclusion, the United hierarchy is probably stupid.

As someone who isn’t a Man U fan I cant tell if this is good news or bad news. On the one hand, games like Grimsby were pure comedy, but he was getting something out of them to be 6th.

My fear is they hire someone actually good, but I’m not sure the current board are that competent.

Wow I know results have not been his recently after a small uptick but I was not expecting that. They backed him so long despite middling results, now when they have a lot of defensive players injured they five him the boot.

What is even going on this week

This BBC article does a pretty good job summarizing his calamitous appointment and reign to an outsider (like me).

The drama of this club man. Seems like Amorim managed to alienate himself from his biggest supporters, the clubs management. That press conference yesterday was so strange, and I guess the management just had enough. But it just starts the cycle all over again

Won't be the only manager sacked this week
