Well, let’s see how he does. Still so many questions imo like why didn’t Man Utd go for him in the summer? And it is strange that a lot of top clubs passed on him in the summer too.

 

There’s a low bar there but does seem very shiny new toy at the moment. His style is 3-5-2 which I’m not really sure suits the current squad.

Ruben has decided to let Ruud go completely

Probably for the best as Ruud is worth more than this and he's going to want to be a first team coach rather than an assistant.

Referees' chief Howard Webb says West Ham should not have been awarded a penalty during Erik ten Hag's final game in charge of Manchester United on 27 October.

 

The Hammers were given the decision on the recommendation of video assistant referee Michael Oliver following Matthijs de Ligt's challenge on Danny Ings.

 

David Coote, the on-field referee, had waved play on following the incident but awarded a penalty after reviewing the incident on the pitch-side monitor.

 

Jarrod Bowen scored the penalty, sealing a 2-1 win for West Ham. Ten Hag was sacked less than 24 hours later.

 

"I thought it was a misread by the VAR," Webb told Sky Sports' Mic'd Up programme.

 

"A VAR that's normally really talented and reliable, but gets uber-focused in this situation on De Ligt's leg. His leg coming through on to Danny Ings, not making any contact with the ball. The ball's already past De Ligt as he as he makes contact with Danny Ings.

 

"And the VAR sees that as a clear foul. I think he was too focused on that aspect. I don't think he should have got involved.

 

"I think this is a situation where we'd leave the on-field decision as it is, probably whichever way it's called. On balance, I don't think it's a penalty kick."

 

On-field referees are not required to follow the recommendations of the VAR official.

 

"They are told that they are absolutely within their rights to keep their decision when they go to the screen," said Webb.

Oh well, it was for the greater good as it got ETH the boot.

Thought Amorim came across quite well in the interviews today. Those quotes doing the rounds about media duties are not a good thing though.. what's he going to be like in 3 months if Man Utd are still mid table!? Totally get he wants to work with the players but also a bit naive if he did not think there would be OTT heavy media duties too.

Didn’t help with Ed Sheeran jumping into his Sky interview!

Hoping to see a good performance by the whole squad, goals and effort against FK Bodo/Glimt tonight.

There's always one thing you can guarantee with a new manager. Trashford remembering how to play football...

I really do like this manager I’m finally happy we have the right guy.

Yous have an alright run up to Xmas as well before it becomes more difficult.

I think top 4 is still achievable

Course it is at this stage and with the £££ yous have spent that should be the bare minimum of Uniteds aims.

Arsenal and City away in the next 3 is not what I'd class as alright!

City away is an easy win for anyone these days :lol:

To be fair in their recent horror run only one of their defeats was at home which was the Spurs game and they're their biggest bogey team ever. No doubt they'll find their mojo again for the derby.

Man City will be a good test for the new manager I mean he did just thump Pep with his former team

Drawn away to Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.

What signing was worse Antony or Mount?
