The Jets are welcome to him BUT please keep him well away from Man United! United are crap right now and have been for 12 years but we’ve still won things. With a few better players United will rise again. United have a far better manager in Amorim than Ange ever was or is!
I admire the optimism.
I’m a Man U fan as well, have been for well over 25 years. The only way we will ever improve is for Sir Jim and the Glazers to either aell out and fuck off, or get taken out, if you get my drift.
I’ve been a United supporter for over 60 years. Seen it all before SAF and it wasn’t all good. I agree 100% about Ratcliffe and the Glazers. I do hope though that we can buy good players as I believe Amorim is a good manager. I’m over all the Ange/Spurs hype, they are a little team who don’t win much. United are still one of the World’s biggest clubs with at present, a terrible team.
United needs investment (both on and off the pitch), and based on who participated in the sale process, Ratcliffe is quite possibly the least worst option.
I’m unconvinced Amorim is the right man, but we can’t continue having a congaline of managers and expecting success.
In the third place playoff, host Germany lost to France 2-0.
Australia have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after beating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in Jeddah in their final third round group match. The home side, needing to defeat the Socceroos by at least four goals to reach the second automatic qualifying spot in the group, scored the opening goal in the 19th minute, before the Socceroos responded with goals either side of half time.
The Socceroos finished second in the points table behind Japan, who rebounded from last week’s shock loss in Perth to thrash Indonesia 6-0. It’s the sixth consecutive time that Australia have qualified for the World Cup.
Six teams remain for the fourth round: Indonesia, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. They will be divided into two groups of three. Each group will play round robin matches at a centralised venue over one week in October this year. The winners of each group will qualify directly for the 2026 tournament, while the two second-placed teams in each group will play against each other over two legs in November, to determine which team advances to the inter-confederation play-offs. The draw for the fourth round will take place in Osaka on July 17.
