Ange Postecoglou showed he knows how football war and win the most important match of the season. Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United was – without understating – a sad sight. This analysis comes from Manchester United’s own supporters, who threw themselves on the social media keyboard into the late hours of the night after the Europa League final.
With the final loss, Manchester United are not in the UEFA leagues in Europe for the first time since 2015. Ruben Amorim stated after the game: “I will not give up. I still believe in myself in this job, but I’m not going to change anything about my approach.”

The sentence before, the Portuguese had opened up about his resignation: “If the United board and the supporters feel that I am not the right man, I will leave the club the next day.”
On social media, there was a good proportion of Manchester United supporters who had a clear opinion on what they think of Amorim’s job, without a final worthy of United, without a Champions League ticket – and 0.92 points per Premier League game on average on the Portuguese’s watch.
Here is a selection of messages from United supporters who think Amorim is done:
“Kick Amorim before they get back on the plane”
I would sack Amorim tonight if I were INEOS. There is nothing wrong with admitting that we made a mistake when we hired him”
“Amorim’s tactic is basically to pass the ball up and then hope that things happen”
“He’s a terrible, terrible coach”
“Poor match-control
Poor substitutes
Poor tactics
Refused to change his formation”

“Worst manager in Manchester United history”
“Kick Amorim. Go get Thomas Frank. Sign a decent, big player at the top. Sign an athletic midfielder. Reinstate Rashford. Sign a good partner for Yoro in a defensive line. Sign a new goalkeeper. Sell a ton of players. Have a thin squad next season to integrate the youth”
“Kick Amorim on the spot, he’s by far the worst manager we’ve had since Fergie left”
“Amorim is a joke and doesn’t deserve a chance, kick him now”
“Kick Amorim tomorrow, he doesn’t deserve the summer”
