The Amorim case is only the latest act of a truly unstoppable flop. In eighteen months Ratcliffe, co-owner of the company, has injected over 250 million euros into the company coffers for the market
“Mai stati United”, despite being released in the post-Christmas period, is not a great movie. You don’t laugh, on the contrary: if a smile appears it’s only full of bitterness, of melancholy for the good times that once were. It is a film from January 2026, but they could have shot it at any time, after the farewell of Sir Alex Ferguson: the lead actor is Ruben Amorim, but with him act the other nine technicians who ended up in the red cauldron of Manchester in this abundant decade, from Moyes to Ten Hag, from the guru Van Gaal to interim flags like Giggs. It’s a film that took hope and sold it off at the hotel transfer market, also sending it to our area, and at the same time accepting very expensive goods in exchange that later turned out to be useful at most for a mid-table player. A drama, rather than a comedy, like the last twelve and a half years of Manchester United who got everything wrong between purchases, sales, managers and ownership changes.
