When Erik ten Hag was sacked, things were not good in Manchester. The team was losing, the stars in the squad were under performing and Ruben Amorim’s arrival was seen as a fantastic move, especially after his excellent record in Sporting Lisabon. He took the squad who had only three wins in the opening nine games and was sitting in 14th place. Four months later, the squad is still in 14th place and now they have only eight wins. The only good thing Ruben Amorim did so far (literally the only thing) was to push Amad Diallo’s career. The young Ivorian was in and out of Ten Hag’s team (more out than in) but when the Portuguese came in, he exploded. And he might be out until the end of the season in another bitter blow for United.African gem and City’s killer extends with UnitedThe African gem has scored six times in the last 14 games, including crucial late goals at Manchester City and Liverpool and a hat-trick in the comeback win over Southampton but injured his knee and confirmed on social media he will miss at least two months, which puts him in contention for a start in April (at least).“Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season. Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever. Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for“ he wrote on social media, confirming the fans’s worst nightmare.Rescue plan that actually works – leave Old Trafford and run as fast as you can!As for Amorim, he is in the process of getting gray hair more and more, due to the situation in the club, his players’ performance and injury situation. Amorim has also lost Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after all three midfielders were injured in training this week. As a result, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen will probably start the match, and them two haven’t seen playing together since December 2024 when Newcastle won 2-0.’United are a lot worse under Amorim’As a cover, Amorim took five youngster with him to London. Midfielders Sekou Kone and Jack Moorhouse, both 19, are said to have traveled to London along with goalkeeper Elyh Harrison, 18, left back Harry Amass, 17, and striker Chido Obi-Martin, 17. Obi-Martin is the most famous of the bunch, as he recently made a move from Arsenal to Manchester. And to add more misery, the United’s travel plans also took a hit when their train trip was canceled and they had to use the bus instead, which will prolong their two and a half journey to four.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 25Friday Brighton – Chelsea 3-0 (2-0)/Mitoma 27, Minteh 38, 63/Saturday Leicester – Arsenal 0-2 (0-0)/Merino 81, 87/Aston Villa – Ipswich 1-1 (0-0)/Watkins 69 – Delap 56/Fulham – Nott.Forest 2-1 (1-1)/Smith Rowe 15, Bassey 62 – Wood 37/Man.City – Newcastle 4-0 (3-0)/Marmoush 19, 24, 33, McAtee 84/Southampton – Bournemouth 1-3 (0-2)/Sulemana 72 – Ouattara 14, Christie 16, Tavernier 83/West Ham – Brentford 0-1 (0-1)/Schade 4/Crystal Palace – Everton 1-2 (0-1)/Mateta 47 – Beto 42, Alcaraz 80/Sunday 17.00: (1.20) Liverpool (8.00) Wolverhampton (14.0)19.30: (2.50) Tottenham (3.75) Man.Utd.
