Now that life has begun for birthday boy Ruben Amorim, he hopes his team can begin having fun as well.
At least Amorim won’t be in a foul mood the day after most of his United games, even though he will be blowing out 40 candles on a cake today.
Although there was no TV breaking in the dressing room this time, many supporters at home would have turned off their TVs by the time Lisandro Martinez scored the game-winning goal in the 78th minute because it was so awful.
However, United will now try to win a third straight game for the first time under Amorim when they travel to Romania to play FCSB on Thursday. Martinez got away with a harsh challenge on substitute Adama Traore prior to the score.
The United supporters, who probably wouldn’t have gone to west London with much confidence, sang Amorim’s name with enthusiasm.
Although it is unlikely that Skinflint boss Jim Ratcliffe will give the United manager a birthday card, he was
Amorim will be expecting to receive a few gifts in the transfer market this week, even though it is unlikely that the United manager will receive a birthday card from Skinflint manager Jim Ratcliffe, who was present at Craven Cottage.
Even with this victory—just a seventh under the Portuguese coach—it is still evident that United lacks talent, especially in the latter third.
Despite the manager’s shocking remarks, they may not be the worst team in United’s history, but their ranking of 12th in the Premier League encapsulates this awful circumstance.
It’s unclear where United will end up this season, but at least they won’t be demoted as they were fifty-one years ago. They aren’t, however, outstanding entertainers.
Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, will undoubtedly regret traveling to west London for this game, which only got intriguing in the closing minutes.
The family of Hollywood actress Julia Roberts was also expected to attend, but they decided to cancel, which turned out to be a very smart move.
Although there was nothing spectacular about this game, which began at the odd hour of 7 p.m., The Magnificent Seven by The Clash was performed at halftime.
Alex Iwobi attempted a few shots on United goalkeeper Andre Onana, but they weren’t very hard.
Although Raul Jimenez produced a few great goals, Fulham should have performed better against this terrible United team.
Even though Matthijs De Ligt’s effort was comfortably saved by Bernd Leno, United did not manage a shot on goal until the 42nd minute.
Alejandro Garnacho, who started despite being a January window target for teams like Chelsea, had a few bright moments and contributed to the winning goal, while Amad Diallo, one of United’s better players lately, appeared confused on the right.
Harry Wilson walked off towards Cottage, and Marco Silva’s Fulham were less of a threat in the second half. It is unlikely that they will see him play on Saturday away at Wigan in the FA Cup.
Fulham replaced Wilson with speed merchant Traore down the left. Concerned about his speed, Amorim moved Diogo Dalot to left wing-back and Noussair Mazraoui to right of defense.
