SAD DEPARTURE: Head coach confirms the list of players set to depart Ispwich Town More….

It is fairly simple, just two words. “Ruben Amorim, Amorim, Ruben Amorim” to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band’s ‘Give it Up’.

It does the job and Amorim acknowledged the travelling supporters when they sung it to him after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw at Ipswich.

As Amorim dissected his first game as head coach with the media at Portman Road, it soon became apparent the song is about the only thing that is going to happen quickly at Old Trafford over the next few weeks.

Any United fan expecting a quick fix to the problems that blighted Erik ten Hag’s time at the club, leave them in the bottom half of the Premier League, is going to be disappointed.

According to Amorim, United are going to have to “suffer” as he implements his new ideas.

Waiting, he says, would be totally counter-productive.

“I know it is frustrating for the fans but we are changing so much in this moment with a lot of games,” he said.

“We are going to suffer for a long period. We will try to win games but this will take time.

“We have to risk it a little bit [now] and in the next year we will be better [otherwise] next year at the same stage we will be here with the same problems.”
