There was no way that Amorim would have survived the sack after that rant against the board. He was properly backed.

The search for a worthy replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson still continues more than a decade after he retired.

I am amazed how Michael Carrick as the current manager has used the same set of players that Amorim kept complaining about to win trophies.

Amorim have become very confused with his performance. Personally, i think he want to go and calm his head. Failure have a way it makes people to lose confidence.

Manchester United needs to take time and look for a manager whose playing pattern is same with the traditional identity of United's play.

I'm of two minds here as a fan of Liverpool F.C. (a/k/a United's rival!).

On the one hand, I had to chuckle at his sacking; he now joins Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Erik ten Haag, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and David Moyes as managers who came in after Sir Alex's departure and couldn't fill the man's shoes. That said, I actually want to see them do well because, like the Biblical quote goes, "iron sharpens iron." There is such a rivalry between our two clubs, Liverpool and United, that its' only right to want them to do well so that it sharpens the other side's senses and makes them better.

Yes, I was pissed all those years United were doing well, having knocked us off of that f'ng perch (to quote Fergie's words) and it made us want to do better ourselves, if for no other reason than to catch them. Now we're back on the English perch and United's down for a bit....
