⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Amorim surprisingly followed in the footsteps of Enzo Maresca. His tenure was very short, and we're about to see more turmoil at this team. I thought Amorim would be at Manchester United for a while longer, but this news feels so sudden, perhaps after a winless run has become a source of discontent among the club's hierarchy. So, who else will be part of Manchester United's next turmoil?

We had predicted Amorim would be fired but we didn't expect the news to come today. 5 matches only one win, maybe this is the reason why his contract had to be terminated so the question is who will be the next coach? Darren Fletcher was appointed as the new manager but only for temporary and rumors are that Xavi Hernandez or Enzo Maresca could potentially take over the team, it's just that we don't know whether to wait until the season ends or when the transfer window opens. I'm not a Manchester United fan, so whoever the new manager is doesn't matter  Enzo Maresca might be a good idea because he knows how to compete in the Premier League.

The unpopular theory is that Manchester United is sacking Amorim caused by they see opportunity to appoint Maresca as a permanent manager. Wilcox has been Maresca's partner at City. It's possible for him to surprisingly join in the red devil.
I believe only a few who has been thinking about this, but this is also possible to happen.

I don’t believe that is the case. There is no way Manchester United would sack their manager just to hire a manager who was recently sacked by their arch rival club. Besides Enzo Maresca has his eyes set on Manchester City, he wouldn’t pass on that opportunity for an uncertain future at Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim wasn't actually very successful. In his Manchester United career, he only managed 25 wins in 63 matches. Last year they reached the Europa League final but didn't win the trophy. Their league positioning last year was also very poor. This year, with consecutive losses against weaker teams, this situation was inevitable. I think they gave him enough opportunities. 63 matches is a sufficient number for a manager, in my opinion. He had some great matches with Sporting Lisbon, but that's Portugal, this is the Premier League. Expectations and competition are always higher in the Premier League. Especially when you're managing a team with a history of success like Manchester United, you shouldn't be getting these results.

I doubt if Enzo Maresca will accept Manchester United job after leaving Chelsea, he will not perform better there too because the team have no much difference, so joint Manchester United is no advisable for him. Chelsea have good squad than Manchester United this season, yet Maresca couldn’t survive the EPL what if he take Manchester United job? He might perform more badly than Amorim because we have known Amorim as a very good coach in Sporting CP, and he can’t even get five consecutive wins in the premier league which is very shameful.

Do you notice that team managements finally have the patience they used to have with coaches before? Why are they eager to sack coaches when they fully know that they might not get the right replacement easily because all good coaches have teams at hand; maybe because the football these days is more of business than passion.

This is a bad news for Amorim he didn't expect he can be sack easily but I can't blame the owner of the club, the losing are too much and Manchester United is a big club and too much of losing will make people feel discourage of watching the club matches in the competition. But now that that they have make decisions and sack Amorim we will see if the problem is only from the coach or not, Manchester United need a good coach that can able to buy new players this summer and make the team stronger because Manchester United need more defenders and midfield, they are just depending in Bruno they need a replacement.

Let just see who will be Manchester United need coach before there next game in the league competition, if they lose like two matches in a role in the league competition I can says the problem is not only from the coach the players have there issues and they need to take actions, before the club performance worse then before this season.

What a strange theory, Maresca didn’t show anything at all at Chelsea (unless, of course, you attach much importance to that summer tournament in the USA). Amorim's dismissal was unexpected on the one hand (as it seemed the management had given him a full season no matter what), but on the other hand, it became unbearable to watch the endless points dropped against the underdogs. These points would have easily secured United a top-four place, even with a poor performance.

Strange, strange theories...... The scenario might be this, Maresca is sacked, following Amorin is sacked --> Maresca is interested in Man United --> Amorin is interested in Chelsea.

At least Maresca gave a good trophy in the club world cup, that's their good achievement.
That is what is bitter for Amorin, the underdog team cannot win, say against Wolves this team is very underdog, but Amorin cannot win only hold a draw.

Thinking like this, the manager is not satisfied, 1 point achieved is not enough, poor performance continues to haunt him.

Maybe Manchester United would favour him if eventually he goes there, I didn't expect Chelsea to have sacked Enzo Maresca this very early, though this has been their tradition, they're not always very patient with their coach, However Enzo Maresca on his side, really had a very bad run towards the end of the year, in fact since this season Chelsea has not been consistent with their form and performance too.

So both Chelsea and Manchester United fire their manager in the last couple of days. I didn't think either manager deserved to be fired, but it is the opinion of the hierarchy that matters here and they thought otherwise. Both dismissals had to do with a fall out with the board, Maresca was unhappy about something happening behind the scenes and spoke vaguely about it in one press conference and Ruben Amorim was also unhappy about something and was outspoken about it.

That said, for the both teams it is now about hiring a new manager. Chelsea seem to be close to doing that already. There is no news about possible replacements for Ruben Amorim at United, who do you think would take over the managerial role at Old Trafford?

The year in the Premier League has started with news of sackings. Chelsea kicked it off when they sacked Maresca, followed by Manchester United, who dismissed Amorim, and now Liverpool are parting ways with Slot. It feels like some kind of madness, so many clubs have come to the decision to sack their managers at the same time. I’ve also just read that City supposedly want to see Maresca as Guardiola’s successor, but I think those are just rumors starting to circulate. Guardiola commented on Maresca’s dismissal, saying they lost an outstanding person, which clearly shows how highly he rates him. The year is starting with big changes in the Premier League, at least it’s not boring.

This news item appears incomplete without the addition ""a specific player will be acquired in exchange."" If you are selling a key midfield player, you should be able to see at least a similar replacement. I wonder (in a fantasy sense) if Fernandes could follow in Kane's footsteps?   Fernandes has a decent list of trophies with the national team, but thanks to his commitment to United, he has few club trophies. It would be great if he could rectify that in his remaining years.

Actually, it would be good. And I also heard previously that Bayern Munich is actually interested in him. So yes, I believe it will be better for him to actually let go of the past and also not be so loyal to a club that actually doesn’t want him anymore. If he doesn’t end up going to Bayern Munich, he will definitely be able to get a lot of club trophies. And at this point, I do not care about Manchester United. If I say anything every Manchester United fan says that they are in rebuilding position right now. But the irony is I have been hearing that since the last five years at least. And I am pretty sure that whoever Manchester United is going to bring in as a replacement for Bruno Fernandez, he’s going to end up performing worse than him. At least that’s the petrol we have seen from Manchester United in the last few years.

Both were sacked at the same time, there may be an opportunity for Maresca to become the head coach of Man Utd, but will he accept it. To be honest I'm not sure about that and as far as I know Maresca is predicted to be a strong candidate to replace Pep at City. But since Pep is still there, it might happen. I'll wait for the latest news on this rumor.

The Club World Cup was a significant achievement, but they couldn't build on it. They dominated Paris Saint-Germain in the final, comfortably beating the reigning Champions League champions to lift the trophy. Therefore, a better performance was expected of them in the Premier League this year, but apparently that didn't happen, and the punishment fell on the manager. Isn't that usually the case?

[blue Snow]

perhaps after a winless run has become a source of discontent among the club's hierarchy.

Actually, it wasn't just that factor that led to his dismissal, but also because Amorim harshly criticized the management because Amorim felt the club's top brass were unwilling to fulfill his requests. In an interview, Amorim accused the club's top brass of not respecting him, whereas his request was very simple. Amorim wanted to be involved in player recruitment. However, the top brass was unwilling to fulfill Amorim's request and did not even plan to bring in players in the January transfer window.

Damn that's crazy!!!
Finally I just got my wish, like the dismissal of Ruben Amorim.... I was already against him like form the beginning til now I knew it that this guy Ruben Amorim is not a perfect replacement for head coach because his strategy is lower gage and wouldn't be able to work here in EPL. But anyway still they test him and eventually management didn't even make any sense for the Red Devil. When initially Manchester United brought him for coaching, many members were arguing that he is good coach, he will make the team more better or blah blah but  I was against them and probably now my opinion just proved right.....

Besides that now who will be his replacement.....I think Xavi Hernandez would be a good. Manchester United already contacted him for the job but here nothing seems official.
What did you think Guys
Let me know?

Even in the dream land, I wouldn't want to believe Marescas coaching Manchester united after just been fired by Chelsea. What are the parameters the united board will be using to judge Marescas expertise especially his recent job with Chelsea, or do they want to count the Club World cup he won as case study to give him a trial, of course that's not enough. I believe Amorim should have be left to finish the league, he assembled this crop of players Manchester united have now, so he should have been allowed to stay till the ending of the season.

I watched Manchester United's game against Leeds United yesterday and was surprised by the deteriorating condition of the club. They have some of the best players, but they seem to lack coordination. Ruben Amorim deserves to be sacked.

Since Amorim joined Manchester United, there is no improvement in Manchester United, Manchester United have given him some time and support, but no improvement in Manchester United, with the players Manchester United signed, they are still struggling to win weaker teams.

Manchester United couldn’t win even the team that’s last on the table, a team that every club have been winning comfortably, Manchester United couldn’t win them. Their last match was against Leeds United, Manchester United played draw in the match, they couldn’t win Leeds also. I will say they made the best decision because even if Amorim remain at Manchester United, I don’t think there will be any improvement in the team.

I knew at the end Manchester United will sack Amorim, but I never expected them to sack him during the mid season. Now that Amorim is no longer Manchester United coach, who is going to replace Amorim thats going to improve the team’s performance?

The talk right now is for Xavi to take over, and that could actually be great. I do expect some ownership changes too, or at least firing of some people at the front office, because Xavi will want to be manager and not head coach, that dude knows players. You like Balde? Cubarsi? Pedri? Yamal? He was the one who gave their first main team chances, all of the young stars that Barcelona has on their squad right now?

Xavi made them who they are and I think United needs a manager like that. Someone who can take a team in trouble and make them be better again. Barcelona was in dire financial situation, so Xavi came over and used youth team and low budget to make them win a title. Not saying he can make United win, that would be monumental, but he can make them better than right now.

I'm sure he can manage things better than the Portuguese coach on the road to the championship. Xavi has excellent technical knowledge, and I believe that if given the opportunity, he can bring new players to world football. You can see this in Barcelona's squad. He gave opportunities to many 18-year-old players and made them indispensable members of the team. He can do the same thing at Manchester United, which has a good youth academy.

It's not an unpopular theory, but it has become speculation that is likely to become reality. I sympathize with Ruben Amorim for everything he has fought for with Manchester United. Amorim is just being honest about what happened there. I still remember what Amorim said in Fabrizio Romano's tweet that Ruben Amorim would not change his philosophy. If INEOS wants to change, then INEOS should just replace Amorim because Amorim suffers more than Man United fans. I don't remember the date of Fabrizio Romano's tweet about this, so I can't link it here.

Amorim’s honest statement continued with his final statement that he wants everyone to work within their respective fields and that he doesn’t want his role to be merely that of a coach. Perhaps that name was offended, leading to the decision to sack Amorim.
