Yes son but I think the biggest concern will be the financial standing of the club.
I do hope I'm wrong but the club is standing on a cliff edge at the moment.

This fat cr*p Luke Shaw is definitely not good enough. He represents Man United's decline perfectly. A mediocre player who barely plays and is stealing a living at the club since 2014, yet there are Man United fans who rate this clown

Tough times for united. Never followed the PL matches so decided to watch the final only to be bitterly disappointed with the managers tactics as well as the players crappy performance.
Need a complete removal of all the crap players at united who are overally paid jokers.
Surely academy or under 19 players have more passion than the current clowns playing for united.

You would take Casemiro over Rice and look how that turned out?
The thing is I don’t understand what the issue is with Rice’s price tag when you’ve signed an over the hill Casemiro for £60-70m.

We got Ugarte as the cover for Casimero in the long run.
Like I said. I'd take Gravenberch or Alexis Macc Allister over Rice far better players.

Man Utd close to signing Wolves' Cunha
Matheus Cunha's transfer to Manchester United is at an advanced stage as the Wolves forward nears a £62.5m move to Old Trafford.
BBC Sport understands United will be required to pay the full fee for the Brazil attacker in three instalments, during a two-year period.
The two parties are closing in on a total agreement over personal terms, with sources indicating a deal over the forward's package is now a formality.
Wolves are yet to receive a formal approach, but that is expected in the coming days.
Cunha's release clause is worth £62.5m, meaning there is no requirement for lengthy club-to-club negotiations - provided United meet the specific terms of the buy-out.
Well-placed sources have indicated that they will be required to pay the full amount by the end of the 2026-27 campaign.
The first £20.8m will be paid upon purchase and the second instalment at the end of next season, with the final amount due in the summer of 2027.
Cunha has made 92 appearances since arriving at Wolves, initially on loan, from Atletico Madrid in January 2023, scoring 33 goals for the club.
The 25-year-old almost certainly played his last game for Wolves in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Brentford and has since taken to social media to post a message to supporters.
He wrote: "Individually it was the best season of my life. All of this was only possible because of all the dedication and love I have for this club.
"I became the Brazilian with the most goals in a Premier League season along with Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Martinelli.
"I made mistakes and got things right, but always because I lived this club so much. All I ever wanted was to do the impossible for Wolves. Another one is over. And thank you for all the affection."

United will do OK next season. They need to back this manager.
We have money to spend after sales, so we need to get 5 or 6 to go into the first eleven.
Amorim did this at Sporting first season. 20 players left in the summer, and he built from there.
You dont win any games in the prem if you start every game with 10 men (hojlund)
You cant play every game twice a week like that- it will kill you- and then a dodgy keeper on top.
Onana and Rasmus replaced by someone competent is 20 points more next season, straight off the bat.
Add in Cunha a wing back and a midfielder, and one game a week, we have to be pushing for top 4.
Money shouldnt be an issue as we will make big money on the following
Rashford 40
Anthony 35
Sancho 25
Garnacho 65
Malacia 10
Onana 30 (saudi)
That is 200m and then we don't need to replace Lindlof Evans and Eriksen, as we need a smaller squad with no Europe (so thats 25m in wages saved from them too)
WE might be able to shift on Rasmus, Maguire Casemiro Mainoo Bruno Mount Shaw depending on what the manager wants also.
Its over to ineos to back the manager.
I for one am happy he has come in and STUCK to what he wants to do, and if that has shown up certain players so be it.
We wanted ten hag to play ajax football, and he didnt do it and adapted to the players short term but could never go back.
Ineos needs to make sure this is different.
I am not judging amorim until the end of next season and even then the target should be to allow the big turnover in playing staff to bed in, and be in the top 4 if we make a table for the last 20 games of the season.

I don’t think United should give up on Amorim yet. But think so far Amorim has been one of the worst managers I’ve seen over a season. Tactically rubbish and stubborn. I’m not sure his system will even work even if he gets his player. Nearly every player got worse. I’ve never seen a manager so unadaptable.
Even Europa league final. It was amorims fault. Brought the subs on far too late, sent in the wrong team. I can’t believe he waited 70 mins to do something. Had he even done it at half time I think the result would have been different.
Spurs adapted in the final playing an unusual style for them to cover for injuries to their attack. And it worked.
Worse still spurs can blame injuries for this season. Man United can’t, they didn’t have anywhere near the amount of injuries nearly everyone was fit.
I even think sending away rashford, Anthony, now Garnacho is a bit of a mistake. They are better than the likes of Hojlund, Mount etc.
And because of this disaster season, recruitment will be harder too.
Kind of feel it’s the situation where he might be the right manager just the wrong time. I don’t think he’s the best guy to get rid of the deadwood in the squad, get the best of a bad bunch and get the club to get a stage where someone can actually build. Ironically for all the hate ole did that somewhat. Ten Haag when ahead and ruined the squad spending a fortune. All that damage has to be undone now.
I’d give him time, but it feels like the worst situation and extremely high risk to have a manager like Amorim come in.

Now lost to ASEAN all stars. Crazy stuff.
I don’t see how the board make that leap of faith backing Amorim fully in the transfer market with results like this. Too much of a risk especially when they are reeling from the signings of previous regime. And they will have to pay far above the proper price and higher wages to attract good players with no European football. And clearly Amorim can not succeed with these current players, he’s made that clear already.
If Amorim goes surely it’s going to be an experienced manager coming in with little financial backing to stabilise. They can’t afford another risk.

Man Utd booed off after defeat in Malaysia
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim believes it will do his players good to leave Kuala Lumpur with the sound of boos ringing in their ears after a 1-0 loss to ASEAN All-Stars.
After ending a desperate Premier League campaign with a victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, the club flew 6,600 miles to Malaysia only to find there was no respite from their troubles.
Less than 24 hours after Wolves striker Matheus Cunha was cleared to have a medical before completing a £62.5m move to Old Trafford, United's old goalscoring failings struck again in the first match of the post-season tour to Asia.
In temperatures of more than 30 degrees and high humidity, Amorim's side failed to take a succession of chances despite regular substitutions which meant they ended up using 25 outfield players.
A second-half goal from Myanmar winger Maung Maung Lwin was enough to give a South East Asia XI victory in front of an official attendance of 72,550 at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, triggering boos from a substantial portion at the final whistle from fans who had paid up to £260 to watch United on their first visit to Malaysia since 2009.

Im still convinced. A full Pre season with a few new additions is exactly the Tonic required for UTD.
For me it's a blessing, we won't have the added distraction of the Champions league to cope with and we can fully concentrate on the Domestic scene for next season

Its tough to judge Amorin right now, as he was given a poor squad. Too many players who are not good enough on high wages. However his tactics and subs in the Europa final were strange.
It will take Utd at least another 2 seasons to get anywhere near the top 4 and maybe another 2/3 years before challenging for the title.

It isn't tough to judge Amorim, as he has been there for 6 six months. That is more than enough time to judge a manager. Yes, the squad is poor, but he made these players look worse than they really are. Last season, Man United finished 8th. If they had finished around the same place this season, then I could make the excuse for him, but not when he has Man United finishing 15th. That is unacceptable and sackable as far as I am concerned. When Ten Hag got the sack, Man United were 4 points of the champions league places. Under Amorim, they have finished 24 points adripft of the champions league. As bad as Ten Hag was towards the end, he looks like Sir Alex Ferguson compared to Amorim.

There’s nothing basically. Amorim hasn’t impressed in any way whatsoever. If it were any other team in the big 7 I would sack him. It’s because it’s united, I’d give him time, because they’ve sacked so many and nothings working. It’s whether he can replicate his Sporting success eventually or not.What have you seen from Amorim that convinces you that he is the right man for the job?
And imagine fans of a big club like Man United calling the Champions League a distraction
I don’t think he should be backed fully financially as it’s too risky. He needs to prove he is worth backing. He hasn’t done that yet. You don’t just throw money at him when he first arrives. They did that with ten hag. Ironically ten hag relied on the players from previous regime/he didn’t sign to get those trophies. He arguably would have delivered almost the same performance had he not signed hardly anyone. There’s even a case he might have done better given there’s an argument he made the squad worse. It’s funny the one time man united actually go and fully back a manager and they chose the worst one to do so who has damaged the club.
Thats why Amorims lack of adaptability worries me. As a manager of a team in premier league you have to be adaptable. Most clubs don’t get everyone they want bar maybe Man City. Champions league football would have helped hugely with recruitment. Either Amorim was so stubborn (especially with Garnacho) that he was willing to lose a Europa final then bring substitutes on. Or he was so woefully tactically inept that he didn’t realise that changing things up/choosing a different set of players would make a difference.
Also the guy is incredibly negative. Calling his squad terrible, worst ever man united team etc. People were praising him back then for doing that, but I thought it was awful. Someone who wants to do best, keeps confidence of squad high, doesn’t negative talk down. I honestly don’t see how you get the best out of the squad, calling them rubbish.

Well. Chopping and changing Managers certainly hasnt helped. Infact, it's caused more problems.
He's been consistent with his philosophy from day one. He won't change. He's basically telling recruitment, im not comfortable with these players with the philosophy I believe in. Let him get rid of the dead wood in hugh wages, bring his players in, then we can scrutinize his results and performances.

Slippery G? A proven bottler when it came to throwing the league title, and he bettred that with his pathetic Managment skills. Almost did the impossible job of relegating a Quality villa side.
And il stick by my Judgment on Rice. What have Arsenal won since breaking the Transfer record for him. 0
Are you telling me, in the Premier League Rice been betrer than Gravenberch and Macc Allister?

Trophies are won by teams not individual players. Gerrard is one of the top two PL midfielders of all-time along with KDB
First half of the season, Rice was playing with an injury. Second half of the season he was better. There's a reason why Rice is in the UEFA team and neither Mac nor Grav are in it.
Looks like Man Utd may cash in on their captain to the tune of £100m.
That'll go some way towards funding a rebuild. Bruno has been their best creator by a distance this season, but offers like that might not come around next summer especially as he's north of 30.

Bryan Mbeumo: Man Utd interested in Brentford forward but face competition from Premier League rivals
Manchester United are interested in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
It's understood they are getting encouragement that Mbeumo wants to come to Old Trafford.
No talks have taken place between the clubs but formal discussions are now expected to proceed. United will face competition, with a number of Premier League clubs keen on the player.
Mbeumo is a player United have admired for a while and he is seen as a good fit for Ruben Amorim's system.
With doubts over the futures of Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, United are looking to act quickly in the market to give Amorim as much time with his players ahead of the new season.
Mbeumo is about to enter the final year of his Brentford contract, though the club have the option to extend by a further year.
Brentford will listen to offers for Mbeumo, and Yoane Wissa, but they are not under any pressure to sell any of their players.
There is a feeling within the club that Mbeumo has earned the chance to move to a bigger club this summer if one meets his valuation.
That is thought to be in excess of £60m, Sky Sports News understands, with effectively two years left on his current contract (one year plus an option year) putting the club in a healthy position.
What about sales? Updates on Fernandes, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho
Manchester United are waiting to hear from club captain Fernandes on whether he wants to stay at the club, amid interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal.
The Saudi club are willing to make Fernandes one of the best-paid players in the world and pay £100m to sign the United captain, although an official offer has not been made for the 30-year-old.
Fernandes has yet to decide whether he wants to move to Al Hilal and it's thought he will talk to his family before making a decision.
United do not want to sell. He is contracted at United until 2027.
Lines of communication between United and Real Betis remain open over forward Antony, whose loan is up.
United are expecting offers for the Brazilian following an impressive showing at Betis where he scored nine goals in 24 starts.
Betis want to sign him but will find it difficult to meet United's asking price.
Chelsea have yet to communicate to Manchester United whether they will take up the option to sign Jadon Sancho.
Sancho was on loan at Chelsea last season - Chelsea have an obligation to buy him for £23m. If they don't, it's thought United will be owed £5m.
Ruben Amorim was left amused by a question to Amad Diallo about Alejandro Garnacho's future at Manchester United
Chelsea are trying to negotiate new contract terms with Sancho so he fits in with the club's wage structure.
If they can't come to an agreement, Sancho will return to United.
Meanwhile, there have been no formal offers yet for Garnacho.
It's understood United would consider suitable bids.
Chelsea and Napoli tried to sign him in January - both are still believed to be interested.

Man Utd captain Fernandes rejects Al-Hilal move
Bruno Fernandes has rejected a huge offer from Saudi Pro-League club Al-Hilal.
Fernandes has spent the past few days seriously considering the deal which would have more than doubled his salary at Manchester United, where he is one of the biggest earners.
However, after discussing the matter with his family, Fernandes has informed Al-Hilal he will not be joining them.
It is likely he will be asked about the situation later on Tuesday, when he is expected to conduct a pre-match press conference in Germany before Portugal's Nations League semi-final on Wednesday.
United are understood to be delighted by the news, which came after head coach Ruben Amorim on Friday expressed his belief that Fernandes would remain at Old Trafford.
There were no direct conversations between United and Al-Hilal, so they were never presented with a bid they could turn down.
However, it was expected Al-Hilal were prepared to offer between £80m and £100m to sign the 30-year-old in time for this month's Club World Cup.
It is not clear whether they will now pursue new targets.
Fernandes has made 290 appearances and scored 98 goals for the club since his £47m move from Sporting in January 2020.
