Amorim’s Old Trafford Circus Show…
Hold onto your pies, folks! This Sunday, Old Trafford transforms into a footballing circus tent as Ruben Amorim, the new ringmaster, takes his shot at the legendary Manchester Derby. Picture this: Amorim donning a magician’s hat, trying to conjure victory out of thin air against the fierce City juggernauts. Last December, he pulled a rabbit out of the hat with a cheeky win at the Etihad, thanks to Amad’s last-minute theatrics. It’s his debut act at the Theatre of Dreams, so grab your popcorn and let’s see how past managers fared in this football comedy of errors!
First up, Erik Ten Hag made his entrance like an underdog cheese in a mousetrap, facing the then-league leaders. A first-half snooze fest had the fans biting their nails, fearing an unstoppable City avalanche. As expected, Grealish, sporting his iconic “Where’s My Headband?” look, sneaked a goal like a thief in the night. But wait! With the agility of a cat and the drama of a telenovela, Fernandes equalized amidst a VAR whirlwind. Rashford sealed City’s fate with a winning goal so sweet, it could make candy floss jealous!
Poor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer learned the hard way that home wasn’t where his derby wins were made. City left him and his red army dazed with skills sharper than a cut-price samurai sword at a boot sale. Meanwhile, Van Gaal once threw a derby party with six goals and four random scorers, which even fooled the scoreboard! David Moyes, however, had a horror debut, watching City score faster than you can say “soggy chips” with a side dish of Fellaini’s elbow antics.
