If football is religion, then Ruben Amorim preaches a doctrine that confuses his followers and terrifies his doubters. The Manchester United manager—part visionary, part caffeine overdose—has suddenly found his sermon clicking again after two straight Premier League wins. Brighton and Hove Albion’s Fabian Hurzeler didn’t mince words either: he called Amorim “one of the best,” proving that even rival managers occasionally bow at the altar of tactical chaos.
But let’s be honest. United fans haven’t exactly been blessed with calm Sundays lately. One week they’re losing 3–1 to Brentford, the next they’re tearing through Liverpool like it’s 1999 again. It’s classic Old Trafford theatre—equal parts Shakespeare and slapstick.
Ruben Amorim and the Gospel of Vertical Madness
According to sources, Amorim has asked his team to “go more direct and more vertical,” which is coach-speak for kick it long and pray the football gods intervene. The results? Surprisingly functional. With Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko leading the charge like caffeine-fueled greyhounds, United have rediscovered a rhythm that’s less elegant waltz and more rock concert.
Hurzeler seems intrigued. He knows this version of United is unpredictable—like that friend who says they’ve quit sugar but shows up with three doughnuts. “They can change the game with one action,” Hurzeler warned. Translation: “We’re bringing extra defenders.”
My Take: Amorim Deserves the Chaos Crown
Here’s my unfiltered opinion—Ruben Amorim isn’t in crisis; he’s in evolution. The man’s got the tactical IQ of a chess grandmaster and the emotional range of a romantic poet who just lost a derby. He’s forcing Manchester United to grow through the turbulence rather than escape it.
If United keep this rhythm, they might just rise again—not as a machine, but as a glorious mess that somehow works. And in the Premier League, that’s poetry enough.
