More than 11 years after Sir Alex Ferguson said goodbye to MU, this team has never found stability. 5 official coaches, 4 interim coaches (including Ruud van Nistelrooy) have sat in the hot seat but no one has brought the Old Trafford team back on track. Ruben Amorim is likely to become the new captain of MU. He is a talented strategist, being sought after by all of Europe, but no one knows for sure whether he can steer this lost ship in the right direction?
It could take Amorim a year or two or more to get United back to the top of English football. It will be a difficult journey. And in that journey, he needs to win the trust of the players, the board and the fans. To win trust, nothing is more effective than competing for titles.
MU is the current FA Cup champion.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the contract, development direction and agreement details between Amorim and MU have been 100% completed. Sporting Liston also agreed to the contract compensation fee of 10 million euros proposed by MU. Amorim will soon arrive in England and immediately start his new job.
That means Amorim will debut for MU in round 11 of the Premier League 2024-2025. If MU defeats Leicester City in the League Cup in the early morning of October 31 (Hanoi time), the Portuguese strategist still has the opportunity to compete for 4 titles: Premier League, Europa League, League Cup and FA Cup. In case interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy does not help MU overcome the "Foxes", this number will decrease to 3.
When looking at all objective and subjective factors, the FA Cup is clearly still the most suitable goal for MU to pursue. In the Premier League, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are too strong and all have shown very stable performance. No matter how well Amorim does, he cannot help MU surpass these 3 clubs when the quality of the "Red Devils" is too far behind. Meanwhile, this season's Europa League has many quality teams such as Tottenham, Lazio, Ajax, Porto, Real Sociedad...
Strong teams in England do not take the FA Cup too seriously. This is the arena where big clubs use to create opportunities for reserve players or young players to compete. Last season, even when reaching the FA Cup final, Man City did not show much interest and let the championship fall to MU. This season, when the Champions League and Europa League formats change, MU's opponents such as Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham... will have to play more matches and the possibility of these clubs "giving up" the FA Cup is not small. That is an opportunity for the "Red Devils" to win this title as a spiritual support for an upcoming "revolution".
