Talking of Utd DNA, being lethal on the counter attack is part of Utd's DNA. I don't know why the phrase counter attack has become such a dirty pair of words to so many Utd fans. Counter Attack should never be our Plan A but every Utd side should be exhilarating on the counter attack.

I would have chosen the black kit for tomorrow because the players need a confidence boost.

I just got my DNA test results back, apparently I'm 110% Manchester United.

If I was head of FIFA I'd introduce a rule where clubs can only hire former players as their manager. I'd also accept a load of bribes and kickbacks.

Ole is the bookies favourite at 7/4 but possession is 90% of the law. If the next few days go well then Fletcher will be in pole position.

Watching that Fletcher press conference made me think that the best teams trust each other. We need to get to a place where the players care about the opinions of their teammates rather than the bollocks spouted by pundits and attention whores on social media.

The tracksuit top was the right call.

Are Burkina Faso as shit as I imagine them to be? Is there any chance they'll send Amad home tonight?

It's only half a press conference but I'm sold. Give him the job.

I loved that last answer from Darren Fletcher.

Alex Ferguson selected his own son and won 13 league titles, so if Darren plays both his sons he'll go on to win 26 league titles. #Arithmetic

Press conference at 5pm. Hope Darren comes out and shows the world who is boss. I reckon he'll do smart casual tonight and a smart suit tomorrow night. However, he might want to wear a tracksuit tonight to show the world he's been out on the grass with the players.

If Utd want somebody to quickly implement a new style quickly then having Fletcher leading or supporting the process is probably a smart move. He knows all the players. He knows their strengths and weakeness and could probably mobilise things quicker than somebody new to the club.

Clearly somebody at Utd reads my tweets.

I'll be delighted if Ole gets the role. But I may have to come off social media for the duration of his tenure because I can't expose myself to the disrespect he was shown last time.

Ole deserved a better exit than that Watford game so I'd he delighted for him if the rumours are true, but I'm not ready for the heartbreak again. 💔

Apparently the odds on Ole have been tumbling this morning.

It would be nice if somebody from Utd's senior management did the Burnley press conference alongside Fletcher rather than leaving him to field the fall out alone. I'm sure Fletcher will handle it fine on his own, but he shouldn't have to.

I liked Amorim and I'm disappointed that another manager hasn't worked out but I'm not sad. I vowed never to get emotionally attached to a manager again when Ole got sacked. That sacking hurt me almost as much as it did Ole.

Data shows that Amorim was like marmite to women? Many loved him and many despised him, but very few were ambivalent towards him.

Most managerial appointments end in failure. You don't know whether a manager is any good until you give them a try so any recruitment exercise is effectively a lottery. You need to buy as many tickets as you can, but give each ticket long enough to prove they are a loser before you discard them.

Just spotted a podcast called "The Downfall of Ruben Amorim" 😂 It's not like he was Hitler or Pol Pot.

I really hope we smash Burnley and then Brighton and Fletcher gets extended for a few games more, and then we win them too. We all need a bit of fairytale to believe in for a while.

I'm hoping they sneak Jonny Evans in as Fletcher's assistant on Wednesday. It'd be a nice little surprise for us fans of nostalgia.

Can you believe they didn't interrupt classes today to let the kids hear the news? I had to break it to my son after school. Much to my surprise he was completely unfazed that Ruben has been sacked.

I don't have a subscription to the Athletic so I'm just going to imagine an article called "Inside the chaotic 48 hours that led to Amorim's departure". I'll then criticise the club based on the article I've imagined.

One concern I have about us hiring so many former City guys is that we try to replicate a club whose success was heavily based on hiring Pep Guardiola. There isn't another Guardiola out there and his possession based football is no longer the dominant force.

I bet you that linesman from yesterday is glad Amorim got sacked and everyone has been distracted from his fuck up. Well, I haven't forgotten!!

Trump must be well annoyed that Amorim has stolen all the headlines away from him.

I suspect the era of the "project" might be coming to an end with Amorim's departure. Projects are initially great for getting fans onside but seem difficult to deliver in reality. I wonder if we'll see a Real Madrid "deliver or else" culture ushered in this summer.

I've just remembered watching that Ole exit interview. It's not often you see somebody genuinely heart broken. I feel really sad now.

Amad at the Cote d'Ivoire training session this morning: "I've only been gone for two matches and the whole place has fallen apart. That's how fucking good I am!"

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has stepped in as interim set piece coach following the departure of Amorim's backroom staff. Very strong rumours circulating Ratcliffe will also do the Burnley pre-match press conference alongside Darren Fletcher.

This is Manchester United Football Club we're talking about

Alex Ferguson and Roy Keane should put their personal differences aside for a few months and step in as interim managers until the end of the season.

Amorim brought a lot of his own guys in to the coaching team? Have they been sacked too? You've got to feel for them if they've lost their jobs because Amorim fell out with Wilcox.

Throw the kids in. Shea Lacey as interim manager and Mantato as his number 2.

How many centre backs will Fletcher select on Wednesday? I'm going for 4.

Utd should just offer the new coach a 12 month contract. It'd save the club loads of money.

Okay, I've done Denial, Anger, Bargaining and Depression and I've now moved on to Acceptance. Good luck Rúben wherever you go.

They always make the manager sign an NDA as part of their severance deal. I can foresee Amorim really struggling with this. Doubt he'll go quietly.

I always wonder about the wives on Man Utd Manager Sacking Day. Are they happy that they get to go home or sad that their husband has lost his job? And the kids, do they get annoyed that they have to change school yet again?

The club statement didn't even have the decency to spell Rúben correctly. It's like the Roy Keane departure all over again!

Utd should replace Amorim with 3 managers: Manager 1 - Deals exclusive with the media, rarely speaks to the players Manager 2 - Coaches the team, never speaks to the media Manager 3 - Deals with players' mentality and off field attitude. The Utd job is too big for any one person to succeed.

Lots of relationships breakdown over Christmas and New Year. I'm guessing the change in routine and the excessive consumption of sugar and alcohol was the catalyst for Wilcox and Amorim to finally have a blazing argument.

We should give Fletcher the job permanently on the grounds that he is Scottish just like Busby and Ferguson.

Put these interim managers in order from best to last: Murphy Busby Ole Carrick Rangnick Ruud Fletcher

Just read the club statement. Full credit to the comms person for getting "Head Coach" in the first sentence. 😂😂

I just google image searched for "Kobbie Mainoo evil grin"... nothing!!! The lad never smiles!!!

Ole.
