In his column, Stan Collymore emphasizes the importance of Ruben Amorim's candid honesty regarding Manchester United's current state. He argues that historical figures like Mourinho validated this kind of forthrightness among managers. Collymore indicates that many players in the current squad could be deemed up for sale, reflecting the broader difficulties facing Manchester United beyond just player performance. He criticizes ownership issues, particularly under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, highlighting a disconnect between management messaging and actual performance improvements that fans anticipated.
I think it was refreshing. Jose Mourinho was honest. David Moyes and others, if you go back through the post Ferguson-era, all the managers have had moments in press conferences where they've told their truth.
It's no different to what we wrote in the column several weeks ago though. If you looked at the Manchester United squad, man for man, how many of them would pundits or football watchers keep? Everyone was up for sale.
