Manchester, England – E be like say time no dey wait for Ruben Amorim as he land late for him own news conference on Friday. Na 25 minutes after the scheduled time wey dem dey expect am, the man finally show face. E no be say him no dey sorry oh, but the padi wey dey sit near am for table don take the blame like say na him cause am. Manage wey dey ask journalists no go write say na the official fault.
No be small wahala, you sabi? Premier League no gree make anybody dey do media conference after 1:30 PM on Friday, even when dem dey prepare to play match on Monday. But I fit bold to say say e no go get wahala for Manchester United anyhow.
As e be, November 24 go mark one year wey Amorim don dey manage Man Utd; this Monday Night Football matter wey dey come up with Everton go show if e really don sabi wetin him dey do for the club. Sky Sports dey ready to show the match live from 6:30 PM, and dem go kick off at 8 PM. Na correct time to see wetin the man don achieve after twelve months for the seat!
Amorim don talk say him dey expect say him team go dey “more competitive in every way” as dem dey prepare for the match. Him first match for charge na for Ipswich on November 24, 2024, wey Marcus Rashford score quick goal after two minutes. But you know how e go be for ball, they still come draw 1-1.
As roun background dey play, Amorim na him sabi dey push dem team forward through all the ups and downs. Him get one disaster first season wey United finish 15th in the Premier League and lose Europa League final to Tottenham. Na wetin be this? But the good news be say dem don dey find groove small, as dem dey enjoy five games unbeaten now and dey sit for sixth place.
“Everything dey move fast!” Amorim yarn about wetin happen when e come in. “I know say we go get plenty struggle, but I dey excited for the challenge.” So, him don come turn everything around? Maybe, just maybe!
P/P: Amorim still drop news for us that Benjamin Sesko dey sidelined for “few weeks” because of knee injury, but him follow up say Harry Maguire no go fit play against Everton. Kobbie Mainoo fit come back, so e no too bad, abi?
Peter Smith wey dey write for Sky Sports don highlight say na no be easy year for United fans – as plenty losses don show face. But with recent improvement, everybody dey ginger expect something better. Their victory at Anfield after nine years, plus the five-match unbeaten run dey give fans small hopes.
But make we no get carried away jor! Amorim dey talk say “we still dey recover from plenty bad moments. We need to take every match serious and no relax.” Na him sabi, but how e go fit handle the pressure when dey dey play on Monday?
So, the gist still dey continue. E fit be say Amorim don start to find him feet, but we still dey watch to see if this Monday go bring more good news or wahala again. Dey mark the date, abeg!
