Manchester United in 2024 is a joke…
Ruben Amorim has been appointed as Manchester United’s new manager, according to a club announcement on Friday, a blatant roll of the dice on a captain who has no track record in Europe’s top leagues. . It’s completely unproven, but the Red Devils will hand Amorim the keys to turning around an international powerhouse, to the point where winning is irrelevant.

Manchester United really think this will work, don’t they? (Spoiler alert: it actually happens)
At this point, the Glazers have no idea what they’re doing. I mean, damn, even that U.S. men’s national team has the top manager of a European powerhouse here. Couldn’t the Red Devils spend big on a player like Mauricio Pochettino?
I know they have cash, but that’s the problem. Perhaps at this point they are just investing for profit. Amorim’s hiring sends a strong signal, as if it has acquired “enough” talent to help with its PR efforts, and who can make a profit at a lower price.
Honestly, I don’t know how else to explain the hiring of Ruben Amorim.
