OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Coupé It]

Ruben needs to make sure the first thing he does upon arrival in Manchester is to force the owners to buy some new bikes and workout equipment.

Get some new lunch ladies too. Ronaldo said it was the same ones

Throwback...

Pocketing mbappe then going to algebra class the next day is wild

Welp

Throwback...

Think I saw Edgar Davids

Should've given it to Rodri last year instead of stealing it for Messi then we wouldn't be in this situation

You did.

Head coach

Glad they didn't waste time on the hire after wasting the first quarter of the season.

Didn't think Amorim was attainable tbh when ETH got sacked but he was my preferred option with Nagelsmann and Inzaghi.

Gonna be interesting to see if he sticks with his 3 at the back and how he uses this squad.

United really got a millenial coach

It's felt like you guys have been resigned/fine with losing him next summer but it looks like Kompany wants to keep him vtotheinay ?

Admittedly, I didn't know much about him, but after watching a couple of vids, his 3-4-3 formation and tactics is pretty interesting. Dunno if it'll work for Utd, but it's intriguing.

Also, Vini to Utd confirmed.
Also also... didn't know there was "a situation" with Vini at Madrid.

 

[Coupé It]

I’ll give United credit here. They got after it and hired Amorim immediately during the season.

Really thought he wouldn’t leave during the season. Especially with Sporting being so good damn good again. Dudes haven’t lost all season.

 

[sonoftony]

Vini to United? Na. We have a better shot of landing Gyokeres at some point

 

[cs02132]

I dont think anyone on playgrounds is wanting to be most of the nominees. I coach soccer at a club in NorCal, and the most popular players at the moment besides Messi and Ronaldo are MBappe, Yamal, Garnacho, Haaland, and Cole Palmer of all people lol

I would be so disappointed in my son if he was a Garnacho fan of all people

Amorim is probably going to go after Inacio, Gyorkes, and Quenda.

Especially with those blank checks United give their managers.

Hope he doesn’t take Gyokeres, dude is a force
Their midfielder Hjulmand is nice too

Head coach

It’s officially over!

Wasn’t my first choice, but he ticks a lot of the boxes I had. Shoutout to Omar and co. for getting this done in 5-7 business days and making him a Head Coach instead of a manager. You got to earn that.

Who is your first choice?

 

[LA Diggler]

Who is your first choice?

And if he wasn’t up for leaving the Germany job then Sebastian Hoeneß.

 

[cs02132]

I swear if United somehow win something big before Arsenal.. after these past couple seasons

 

[worldbeefreeg]

No chance at top four, but I’ll take the Europa trophy

Don't you worry... this is Utd we're talking about here.

 

[whtascene]

Don't recall United ever playing with three at the back, will take some getting used to.
