THE 40-YEAR-OLD "CURSE" THAT RUBEN AMORIM'S MANCHESTER UNITED JUST MATCHED AT ELLAND ROAD TODAY
Ruben Amorim defends his "young" stars after a bizarre error costs Man Utd. Read the full match report from Elland Road here.
Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday handed them a milestone they’d rather not talk about—it’s been 40 years since something like this happened.
Ruben Amorim’s team moved up to fifth in the Premier League with that point at Elland Road, even though they’ve only managed eight wins in 20 league games.
Brenden Aaronson put Leeds in front just after the hour, pouncing on a bizarre mistake from Ayden Heaven. That lead didn’t last long—three minutes later, Matheus Cunha grabbed the equalizer.
Aaronson’s goal means United have now conceded in 15 straight away games. That's a first for them in Premier League history. The last time they went this long without a clean sheet on the road was back in the 1985/86 season, when Ron Atkinson was in charge.
Defending is a real problem for United right now. No team outside the bottom six has let in as many goals.
Talking to TNT Sports after the draw in West Yorkshire, Amorim said, “I think we played well. We controlled the game better than we did against Wolves, and that’s important—it shows we learned from our mistakes. Leeds are fast up front and dangerous on set pieces and second balls, but we handled it.
“We had our chances to win too. We keep dropping points over little details. Their goal came from one transition when we were in control, but we responded well. Last year, we probably would’ve lost that game. Now, we’re more in control, but it’s frustrating not to win.”
Amorim refused to blame Heaven for the Leeds goal, even though his lapse cost United.
“Ayden and Leny [Yoro] are both really young, but that’s not the reason. You can play well for 90 minutes and still make a mistake. We had chances to score a second, and if we had, no one would be talking about their goal.”
Speaking to BBC’s Match of the Day, he added, “Overall, we had more control and created more chances—we did a lot right, so it’s frustrating not to win. It was a tough match in tough conditions.
“Our game plan was to fix what went wrong against Wolves, and we did. We were in better positions and better organized. Weirdly, Leeds started the second half a bit stronger, but when we’re in control, we have to stay focused on every detail. We’ve seen it before—against West Ham, one lapse and we concede. We have to stay switched on the whole game.
“We kept our heads, got the equalizer, and even had a great chance to win it. I think we deserved a bit more, but that’s football.”
RASHFORD DEAL REGRET: MAN UTD "FUMING" AS BARCELONA PREPARED TO SNAG STAR FOR £26M
Manchester United regret the £26M Rashford deal: Discover why his Barcelona form and England recall have sparked a major row.
_1771427004.webp)
Manchester United’s top brass are kicking themselves over the Marcus Rashford deal. Letting him go to Barcelona for just £26 million? That’s starting to look like a huge mistake.
Since landing in Spain last summer, Rashford has turned things around. He’s bagged 10 goals in 35 games, clawed his way back into Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, and now United figure he’s worth closer to £50 million. On top of that, other clubs are circling, hoping to snag him in the summer.
Back when they loaned him out, United gave Barcelona first dibs, capped at £26 million. Now, some folks at United are fuming about how they structured the deal. They’d rather see Rashford go anywhere else.
The thing is, Rashford loves life at Camp Nou and wants to stay. Barcelona see that, and they might even try to negotiate the price down further.
There’s talk that Michael Carrick, United’s interim boss, would welcome Rashford back in a heartbeat. Too bad there’s no recall clause. Even if everyone wanted a reunion, the contract blocks it.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s co-owner, still wants Rashford’s wages off the books. But the thought of Barcelona grabbing their 28-year-old star on the cheap doesn’t sit well with him.
Funny enough, Rashford’s one of United’s best-paid players, but over at Barcelona, he only comes in sixth on their pay scale. Manager Hansi Flick is pretty keen to keep him around, too.
Off the pitch, Rashford’s settling in. He bought a swanky flat in Esplugues with killer views of the Collserola mountains and is soaking up the Catalan lifestyle.
His £15 million-a-year United contract runs until 2028, but he’s told friends he’s not looking back. Leaving his boyhood club wasn’t easy, but he’s made his call.
He’s set to be picked for Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup in North America this summer.
WORLD CUP BOUND? THOMAS TUCHEL CONFIRMS KOBBIE MAINOO IS "BACK IN THE PICTURE" NOW
Gary Neville blasts Ruben Amorim for "killing" Kobbie Mainoo's confidence. Discover how Michael Carrick revitalised the United star.
Gary Neville didn’t hold back about Ruben Amorim’s decision to keep Kobbie Mainoo on the sidelines. He called it the worst move Amorim made as Manchester United manager. Mainoo, just 20, didn’t start a single Premier League match before United sacked Amorim on January 5. Then Michael Carrick took over. Suddenly, Mainoo became a fixture in the lineup, and United rattled off four straight wins. The kid’s form has been so good; he’s now pushing for a late spot in England’s World Cup squad this summer.
Back when Amorim was running things, Mainoo thought he’d have to leave just to get the game time he needed for England manager Thomas Tuchel to notice him. That’s exactly why Neville thinks Amorim’s refusal to give Mainoo a chance helped lead to his downfall.
“Kobbie Mainoo didn’t even get a chance under Ruben, really,” Neville said on Stick to Football. “If you look at Mainoo now, in this team, it’s just obvious that was Ruben Amorim’s worst decision.”
After Amorim lost his job, Neville went even further. He said Amorim “killed” Mainoo’s development. “Honestly, I never liked how Mainoo was handled,” Neville said. “We’ve talked about it a lot on this show. When Amorim said at the start of the season that it was either him or Bruno Fernandes, I didn’t agree. It killed Mainoo’s confidence, and then he barely played just that one cup game against Grimsby.”
Now, with Amorim gone, Mainoo has a shot to keep proving people wrong, starting with United’s trip to Everton next Monday. Another strong game, and he’d make a real case for Tuchel to call him up for England’s friendlies in March.
Tuchel himself just said Mainoo is “back in the picture” for England, along with United teammates Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. Speaking at the Nations League draw on Thursday, Tuchel called Mainoo “a huge talent". He added, “He’s already played a tournament for England from start to finish. So he’s back, and so are Luke and Harry. Suddenly, there are a few players back in the mix. United are playing with a back four and a different style now, which fits better with what we’re doing. That’s real competition.”
