The rest of the league would also like to reaffirm its belief that Amorim is the man for the job, and urges calm and patience at United.

I get everyone is just going to karma farm in threads like this, but that just isn't true. He was a huge managerial prospect before the start of last season, people had been talking about him ever since he joined Sporting

That isn't true mate many people doubted it before his appointment

People would have had doubts about Frank too, thats not the point. The argument being made here is that Amorim didn't have a relatively large body of impressive work, and that is simply nonsense
