We start as we mean to go on...
Yesterday was not the result we wanted but we showed signs of promising performance. Let's build on that. Cunha, Mbeumo shone and showed us a way.
With Sesko coming in and the team growing in confidence, we will find a way... The United way! 🇾🇪 #MUFC
Ruben Amorim arriving at The City Ground... 🤩🇾🇪
#MUFC
Looks like Big Zirk up front tonight, Bruno moving back into the No.10 spot. Returns for Yoro and Dorgu and a place in the side for Garnacho, as Hojlund misses out...
#MUFC
Matchday! ⚽
Forest (A). Back to it then. International break over, a hopeful, fresh-face United side travel to Forest tonight, for an historically 'notorious' fixture.
Good to see some players returning, as Amorim's side looks to kick on and continue where they left off. 👏🇾🇪
#MUFC
Every single game is an absolute rollercoaster #MUFC
Can someone describe that half(?) because I'm left speechless... 😧
#MUFC
Ipswich at OT. The return of our very own Kieran McKenna. All eyes on the lads then.
Have to be sharper overall. More directness in attack and must start creating chances! Working the channels from midfield and being composed in our build up from the back. All essential to find that win! 🇾🇪
#MUFC
Morning all 👋☀️
The struggle continues tonight... 🇾🇪
#MUFC
They're not out of the woods yet however and this game could prove to be an opportunity for United to take advantage of.
Forget the noise surrounding the players and the club; this is about our football and we need a reaction in performance!
As ever, back the team/try to enjoy!
Good morning 👋☀️
It's Matchday! 🇾🇪
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day, in any way you could. The festivities continue into our Boxing day fixture...
Ruben's side travel to Wolves, in what's set to be a tight clash, with the opponents finding a bounce back recently.
"Woke up this morning, feeling fine..." 🎶🙌☀️🇾🇪
#MUFC
Enjoyed that one today. Yes, the win against City is ALWAYS a good feeling but for me, it was also about the way we performed.
Composed, more confident and hungry to get at the opponent. It wasn't all positive but the signs of improvement were there. That's essential to progress... The Amorim way.
You know what you are, 115 😂😂😂🇾🇪💪
Amad Diallo. What. A. Player. 🔥🤩🇾🇪
#MUFC
MANCHESTER IS RED! 🇾🇪
#MUFC
Bruno Penalty!
1-1! 🙌
#MUFC
HOW HAS BRUNO MISSED FROM THERE??! 💀
#MUFC
I'd go Mazraoui switch to LWB.
Amad to RWB.
Zirkzee on for Dalot.
#MUFC
Struggling to produce anything after 70 mins. Feels changes are needed. Frustrating to say the least...
#MUFC
Mainoo struggling it seems. Still not 100%. Bruno not playing great into the 2nd half. Pretty lacklustre... again.
Maybe changes needed?
#MUFC
We've actually looked pretty balanced on the whole and was very much in the game. Absolutely heartbroken for Mount, guy can't catch a break with injuries. Mainoo his replacement has done ok but lacking a bit of sharpness. Bruno helping at CAM. Amad/Hojlund need a little patience.
2/2
#MUFC
Not bad half that, just not a particularly good one. Yes, we made City's life difficult and broke into counter a few times but our situational management in the final-third, isn't there yet.
Slow to react for the set-peice corner, that cost us.
1/2
#MUFC
Morning Marit 😀, same to you! Big game, hope we get the 3pts! 👏🇾🇪
Morning all 👋☀️
It's Matchday! 🇾🇪
Derby day 🔴
This one is 'do or die' for the squad. Pep's side have won 1 in their last 10 games, so will be hungry to take advantage of a struggling United team but conversely, with the right performance; City are there for the taking!
#MUFC
Happy Friday, everyone! 🇾🇪
#MUFC
However, Garnacho would perhaps be more fresh to start and we need his energy to disrupt in the final third. Rashford could even be used as striker in Amorim's system, with Zirkzee coming on at sub at No.10; that seemed the dynamic potential last night.
Maguire/De Ligt for squad rotation.
#MUFC
I'd maybe sub him with Bruno at half time and rest Fernandes (after playing midfield last night). Rashford struggled in that performance but not entirely his fault. The lack of presence was lacking up top from Zirkzee (who naturally drops deep). With Hojlund it could be different.
#MUFC
As mentioned this morning, here's how I'd line the team up for Sunday's game against City:
Feel Dalot struggled at RWB last night and we need progression there, so would switch to Amad (Antony sub). Malacia the same, Dalot to LWB. Mount looked good last but we need his impact off the bench.
#MUFC
• What was your game reaction?
• Is there anyone you would change for Sunday's match vs City?
• Which players are standouts and which are struggling?
I'll be posting my starting XI for that game at 12:30 today but as ever let's hear your thoughts!
