Amorim took charge on November 11, 2024, after Ten Hag's dismissal, but United finished 15th last season with just 42 points—their worst Premier League placing. This season, after 17 matches, they sit seventh, three or four points off fourth-placed Chelsea, with Amorim at 1.20 points per game amid injuries and squad issues. Fans debate fiercely if sacking Ten Hag was wrong, as some see attacking gains and green shoots, while others fixate on the 48-point swing and demand results ahead of Boxing Day at Newcastle.

Key Takeaway

Manchester United supporters are poring over a tough stat: Rúben Amorim's 14 Premier League wins in his first 44 games fall far short of Erik ten Hag's 30 over the same span.

Full Summary

In Chelsea's 3-1 victory at Molineux on February 7, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel decided by a 3-2 vote that a 49th-minute challenge on Joao Pedro warranted a third penalty, as Sa's extended leg made clear contact. Yet they unanimously backed VAR's non-intervention, since it didn't meet the 'clear and obvious error' bar for overturning the on-field call, and no red card was needed due to lack of force. Pedro had already earned two first-half penalties converted by Cole Palmer for his hat-trick, helping Chelsea extend their streak to four under Liam Rosenior and rise to fifth with 44 points from 26 games. Fans aired confusion over the VAR threshold, fueling jokes about a near 'penalty hat-trick' and ongoing referee debates.

Key Takeaway

Joao Pedro leapt for a high ball, but Wolves keeper Jose Sa's raised boot caught his thigh— a moment the panel later deemed penalty-worthy.

The 23-year-old Belgian, signed from Royal Antwerp for £18.2 million last September, has shone in 20 Premier League games with four clean sheets, 44 saves, and just 26 goals conceded. He leads the league in goals prevented per 90 minutes at 0.60, slashing United's loss rate by two-thirds compared to Andre Onana's early season. Fans rave about his composure, reflexes, and command of the box, dubbing him a 'baby Courtois' and crediting him with steadying the defense as the club rebuilds.

Key Takeaway

Senne Lammens claws away a piledriver at Old Trafford, leaving fans gasping in the stands. That moment in the club's highlight reel has turned the 23-year-old keeper into a instant hero.

Kone joined FC Lausanne-Sport on loan from United on February 3 until the end of the 2025/26 season, aiming for regular minutes to build on his handful of senior appearances at Old Trafford. But UEFA rules limited Lausanne to three new registrations after the winter window, and they didn't pick Kone for their Conference League play-offs against SK Sigma Olomouc on February 19 and 26. He's had limited league time too, just 10 minutes in three games, leaving United fans frustrated and questioning the multi-club model's promise, though some urge patience for the young talent adapting quickly from Mali youth setups.

Key Takeaway

Sekou Kone's fresh start in Switzerland hit a snag right away. The 20-year-old midfielder, loaned from Manchester United, won't play in Lausanne's key European matches despite the clubs' shared ownership.

Back in 2018, Nobel winner Wole Soyinka called on Nigeria's government to seek foreign assistance against deadly herdsmen attacks he termed ethnic cleansing. Last Friday, after visiting IDP camps and meeting Governor Hyacinth Alia, he advised careful steps with external help, fearing it might worsen insecurity. The change draws accusations of inconsistency amid persistent violence under leaders from different regions, while President Tinubu echoes homegrown solutions like Boko Haram surrenders.

Key Takeaway

In Makurdi, amid Benue's ongoing farmer-herder clashes, Wole Soyinka once urged international help and now warns it could backfire. His words from seven years ago contrast sharply with last week's caution to local leaders.

The supposed Onana remark—'He’s a good goalkeeper. I’m also a goalkeeper. Football will decide the rest'—spread quickly online, though no sources confirm it exists. While 29-year-old Onana struggles on loan at Trabzonspor, conceding all three shots in a recent 3-2 loss to Fenerbahce, 23-year-old Lammens has shone in 21 appearances for United since August 2025, cutting the loss rate by 66% and earning four clean sheets. With Onana's contract running to 2028 and high wages complicating a sale, fans split between worry over his return and cheers for Lammens as the steady No. 1.

Key Takeaway

A cheeky quote claiming André Onana brushed off rival Senne Lammens has fans fired up, but many suspect it's just made-up bait.
