'I came here to be manager!' - Amorim sends pointed message to Man Utd board

Ruben Amorim says he came to be the "manager and not the coach" of Manchester United in a pointed message to the club's board. The Portuguese turned his ire towards the Red Devils' hierarchy after watching his side's 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Sunday. In a stunning outburst, the 40-year-old hinted his days at Old Trafford may be numbered if he doesn't get the backing he feels he needs.

GOAL's seven bold predictions for the second half of the season

We reached the midway point of the Premier League season on Thursday night, with Arsenal holding a very promising four-point advantage at the top of the table as the Gunners look to end an agonising, 22-year title drought, and their chances of doing so have only increased after Saturday's hard-fought win at Bournemouth. Of course, Manchester City are very dangerous chasers - as Arsenal know to their considerable cost - and Aston Villa will obviously be hoping to stay in touch even after their chastening 4-1 defeat at the Emirates on Tuesday.

After Napoli beat Bologna on December 22 to win the Supercoppa Italiana, Rasmus Hojlund posted a picture of him holding the trophy, accompanied by the words, "What a great decision looks like." Unsurprisingly, some Manchester United fans didn't react well to the perceived slight on their club.

Former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has launched an explosive takedown of Ruben Amorim following Tuesday's 1-1 draw with rock-bottom Wolves, questioning his decision to substitute goalscorer Joshua Zirkzee at half-time.

Ruben Amorim admitted that Manchester United played with a different kind of energy during their dreadful 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.

What's Amorim doing?! United boss pays price for system switch

A product of the club’s academy and a central figure during its most dominant era, Butt has offered a brutally honest assessment of the institution he once helped define. As a Manchester local, he admits that his frustration stems not from nostalgia alone, but from a belief that the club has lost its sense of identity.
