Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim in the wake of rising tension at Old Trafford; Amorim dismissed after meeting with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox; Darren Fletcher to take charge of United for Wednesday's game at Burnley; Amorim departs after 14 months in charge.

The press conference yesterday sealed his fate. Otherwise he would have seen the season through.

Rinse and repeat. And so the cycle continues.

Who we thinking for his long term replacement then?

I believe Glasner is the favourite.

Glasner? The guy who plays 343? That will go well here. It shouldn't be ever so long before some turn on him due to his 'formation'.

Here’s hoping Wilcox follows him out the door.

Ed001, you mentioned that the club were willing to get rid of Wilcox. Is this something they could still do?

I have not been impressed with what I’ve heard about him. That he sucked up to Ratcliffe and undermined Ashworth to steal his job. I feel like we need a proven DoF to come in and sort out the mess.

{Ed001's Note - I think it is very likely he will be replaced as well, in a couple of months or so when it will not seem related.}

Thanks, Ed001.
