An Old Trafford season-ticket holder on why the club’s real problems go far deeper than the departing head coach
Well, here we go again. The clown car called Manchester United just tooted its horn, backfired loudly and threw its latest driver out on to Sir Matt Busby Way.

Amorim out was inevitable, most pundits seem to agree. He was, variously, out of his depth, not Roy Keane, not Sir Alex Ferguson, barely a manager at all, and didn’t understand the club or its traditions.
Worse, he fell out with the Old Trafford suits who hired him, challenging them to leave him to get on with his job, and suggesting they should focus on getting on with theirs.
