The tension at Manchester United is escalating—and it’s not just the heat Mark Goldbridge jokingly references in his latest morning show. In a sharp critique on The United Stand, Goldbridge dissects United’s increasingly worrying trajectory in a video titled: “Will Amorim WALK? New TRANSFER Blow! Man Utd Transfer News.”

At the center of this explosive update is rising anxiety over manager Ruben Amorim’s future. With another transfer setback looming, fans are beginning to question if United can hold on to the man many believed would lead a new era. While journalists like David Ornstein stress that Amorim’s job is safe from the club’s end, Goldbridge raises a more pressing issue: Amorim may choose to leave on his own.

“I don’t think Ruben Amorim would walk away… but I am concerned,” Goldbridge confesses, pointing to behind-the-scenes chaos that could drive even the most committed manager to the edge.

Frimpong Deal Sparks Outrage

Fueling the latest fan outrage is news from Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg: Jeremie Frimpong is close to joining Liverpool. It’s not just any deal—Frimpong is tailor-made for Amorim’s 3-4-3 setup, and with a €40M release clause, he’s a realistic, high-value signing.

United’s failure to act, despite past links to Frimpong and the player’s known interest, is baffling. For Goldbridge, it’s yet another example of incompetent recruitment.

“Frimpong is perfect for us, and we’re letting him go to Liverpool. Again. We are unserious,” he rants. “We should be all over this—€35M for one of the best right wing-backs around? It’s embarrassing.”

The Board’s Smokescreen Strategy

Goldbridge doesn’t just focus on missed transfers—he zooms in on the deceptive tactics coming from United’s boardroom. According to him, there’s a pattern: United leak names like Frimpong or Jonathan Tah to generate hype, only for those players to land elsewhere. Then, they pivot to surprise, underwhelming signings like Liam Delap from Ipswich.

“We’re told Amorim’s getting backed. Then we hear we’re going for a striker from Ipswich,” he says incredulously. “What kind of rebuild is this?”

He also slams recent PR narratives, like the supposed sacrifice of staff travel to Bilbao in favor of fans—a move Goldbridge suggests is more about saving money than generosity. Even the notion of replacing a victory parade with a Carrington barbecue is used to symbolize the small-time mentality that he believes is infecting the club.

“Barbecue instead of a parade? Bring your own buns. It’s pathetic.”

Amorim’s Future: Will He Stay or Walk?

Despite the swirling negativity, Goldbridge doesn’t believe Amorim will walk away—not yet, at least. He points out that most managers prefer to be sacked rather than resign, if only for financial reasons and professional reputation.

“Managers don’t quit. They wait to get sacked and take the payout,” he explains. “But how long can you deal with this circus?”

Still, there’s a growing fear that if United’s transfer approach doesn’t shift soon, even Amorim’s patience may wear thin.

A Crisis in Motion

Goldbridge’s video isn’t just another fiery fan commentary—it’s a reality check for a club whose internal chaos might derail yet another managerial reign. The Ruben Amorim transfer news may focus on players for now, but the real story is whether the manager himself will still be at the wheel come September.

As the transfer window inches closer, fans are left wondering not just who will join United—but who might leave first.
