The fallout of anything other than three points will result in a catastrophic backlash from a weary supporter base. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC #PremierLeague

🗣️There is a soft centre to this group, and the league is aware of it. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 about the continued frustration at Manchester United. #MUFC #Premierleague

A visibly irritated Old Trafford demonstrated their dissatisfaction following what had appeared to be a straightforward evening for Rubens Reds.

🗣️”For Matta, it is a small thing. I expect to have Matthijs next game [at Molineux]." ~ Ruben Amorim #MUFC

Ruben Amorim names his XI for this evening's Old Trafford outing against West Ham. How are you feeling? #MUFC

It goes without saying that building a new brand, especially one in a saturated market like Manchester United, is difficult. That said, it’s great, and although others will have larger figures, we wanted to thank you guys for the continued support throughout 2025. ♥️ #MUFC

As stated a couple of days ago, a £26 million deal may prove challenging for Manchester United to ignore. #MUFC

There’s a lot to be said about home comforts in the Premier League, and for Manchester United, the majesty of an evening under Old Trafford lights presents promise. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC #PremierLeague

A perfect partner for your evening walk. Have a listen, Reds. 👇🏻 #MUFC

🎙️We are live! • Three points in London • West Ham under Manchester lights • Anderson, Wharton, Baleba & Gallagher • Your questions & more @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social covers it all. Listen in full from the link 👇🏻 or wherever you get your podcasts. theatre-of-red.com/theatre-of-r... #MUFC

Let’s get voting for Bruno, folks. 👇🏻 #MUFC #Bruno

Although he would not supply the desired star of an Anderson or a Wharton, Gallagher is vastly experienced and yet to knock on the door of his prime years. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 about what could be a shrewd deal for Manchester United. #MUFC #Gallagher

Having finally returned after close to a year on the sidelines, Lisandro Martinez could prove to be a crucial addition for Ruben Amorim during a congested December schedule. Revisit @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social in-depth analysis about Licha 👇🏻 #MUFC #Licha

Enjoy the relatively quiet period between here and kick-off against West Ham on Thursday, Reds. Far too many make it their business to pick and choose when they share their opinions about Manchester United. An early three points is a delightful way to start your Sunday.

Plenty will choose to disregard Manchester United’s continued desire to fight during adversity, but this is a Crystal Palace side that was unbeaten at home in 12 Premier League fixtures, conceding only nine goals before play began. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC #Amorim

Make no mistake, the sun is making play incredibly difficult here. Generally speaking, we only hear about these things when the other team suffers. But Manchester United also endured this during the opening 45 minutes.

Here we go, Reds! 🇾🇪 #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #Premierleague

🗣️ Few gave Manchester United any chance of claiming nine points from three fixtures following a setback against Brentford, and despite the desire of some, you’d be foolish to rule them out. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC

🗣️ Trying to turn the tide and rebuild a team low on confidence was one thing; attempting to resurrect them in his own image was another. Jerry Kelleher ✍🏻 #MUFC #Amorim

Jack Fletcher has caught Ruben Amorim’s eye with a string of impressive displays and a maturity beyond his years at Manchester United. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻

Had a great time chatting with @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social about all things United, from that Everton result (still processing that one 😓) to criticism from our legends, and plenty more besides. Give it a listen if you fancy hearing us dissect the beautiful game over a good conversation👇

There has never been a better time to listen back to these words from @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social Go on, it’ll take a minute. Look at the date, too. #MUFC #Amorim👇🏻

“The margins between highs and lows are so small. Still, there are ways and means to frame a poorly executed evening for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United.” @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻

On a day when United could have climbed to within touching distance of the top, a 10th-place finish feels like the most unsavoury of endings after a toothless display. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC

Ruben Amorim’s XI for this evening’s outing against Everton is here. With the opportunity to end the day in the Champions League places on offer, how are we feeling, folks? #MUFC

The question is not if the 20-time English champions will approach; it is when they feel a deal could be signed, sealed and delivered. 👇🏻

As things stand, Liverpool, the reigning champions of England and the side that spent close to £500 million during the summer, are seven points off the relegation zone. Keep in mind, Leeds also have a game in hand.

Monday evening’s fixture has the potential to elevate spirits further ahead of a congested December schedule. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 about our latest home outing against Everton. #MUFC #MUNEVE

The absence of a domineering figure in Benjamin Sesko creates a new conundrum for Ruben Amorim, with a variety of challenging tests ahead. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social breaks down several potential options without the Slovenian man up top👇🏻 #MUFC

🗣️ A return to European football is a crucial requirement for this football club, and a shrewd January acquisition could prove to be the difference maker. Read in full 👇🏻 #MUFC

A signing of Semenyo’s quality would undeniably add to the already impressive array of attacking riches at Old Trafford Jerry Kelleher ✍🏻 Read in full 👇🏻 #MUFC #Semenyo

As I stated last week, keep an eye on Joao Gomes. He is a player highly valued by key figures at Manchester United. While speculation about Conor Gallagher is wide of the mark, Gomes is shortlisted.

🗣️ Reports linking Conor Gallagher to Manchester United are inaccurate. Presently, Atleti are not pursuing a sale and have no desire for a loan. The player would also prefer to stay. However, if someone presents an offer of at least €40 million, they would be open to discussions.

Not only have we witnessed an out-and-out goalscorer in motion, but the Stretford End has embraced a creator and a flamboyant distributor who complements Amad’s technical ability. Read in full 👇🏻 #MUFC

Roy Keane is one of football’s most iconic and polarising figures with a career defined by unparalleled passion, fierce leadership, and an unwavering commitment to winning. Mark McGovern ✍🏻 Artwork by the brilliant @utdarts1.bsky.social #MUFC #Keano

No matter your view, narratives can frustrate, as ex-players and pundits continually change their expectations for Ruben Amorim based on a single result, redefining what success should look like at Old Trafford. Read in full 👇🏻 #MUFC #Amorim

Following a significant family bereavement, the Theatre of Red Podcast will temporarily pause this week. We appreciate your understanding, and Shaun will be back with you next week.

Like Matheus Cunha, the Wolves faithful know they have a star within their ranks, and there is a growing expectation that Gomes could follow in the footsteps of his compatriot. Read in full 👇🏻 #MUFC

So, Ruben Amorim has collected a well-deserved Manager of the Month award. If only he knew what he was doing, eh? 😕 #MUFC #Amorim [@manutd]

Unsurprisingly, Bryan Mbeumo is the Premier League Player of the Month for October. What. A. Player. 👏🏻 #MUFC #PL #Mbeumo [@manutd]

🗣️ While the narrative of Ruben Amorim’s style and formation continues to dominate mainstream media and social conversations, the Portuguese tactician deserves praise. @jakemc06.bsky.social ✍️🏻 #MUFC #Amorim
