The real question isn't whether Amorim deserved to go. It's whether INEOS and the Glazers can actually get the next hire right and fix the broken structure

2025/12/31

Man Utd closed out 2024 exactly how they started it: absolutely pathetic. The worst team in the Premier League, Wolves, walked into Old Trafford and looked right at home.

Academy kids thrown on as scapegoats while the system keeps failing
