Manchester United's tenure under Ruben Amorim has come to an abrupt end, with the Portuguese manager leaving the club just 24 hours after a Monday edition of the Football Weekly podcast was recorded. The news sent shockwaves through Old Trafford, with many questioning how this came about.
The assembled panel for today's Guardian Football Weekly discussion will undoubtedly grapple with Amorim's time in charge. While some may view his tenure as unremarkable, others will argue that it's been a significant disappointment. One thing is clear: Manchester United can't afford to lose its momentum if they're to remain competitive in the Premier League.
Darren Fletcher will take the reins for now, with Oliver Glasner widely regarded as the long-term favourite to lead the Red Devils. The question on everyone's mind is: what went wrong? Was it a failure of Amorim's tactics, or perhaps an issue with team dynamics?
As the panel delves into the specifics of Amorim's departure, one thing becomes apparent: Manchester United can't afford to dwell on past performances. They need to refocus and rediscover their winning formula if they're to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
With Glasner waiting in the wings, the pressure is now firmly on him to get it right. Can he restore the Red Devils' reputation as one of Europe's top teams? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Manchester United can't afford to waste any more time.

. I mean, you just saw the reaction of the fans and pundits - it's like he got an uphill battle from day one. Manchester United needs a new spark, and Oliver Glasner is a solid choice, but he'll have to navigate some treacherous waters if he wants to restore their winning ways 
. The thing that bothers me most is how quickly this whole situation escalated - it's like there was an air of impatience around the club 
.
i mean, 24 hours after that podcast recording is crazy talk! what went wrong for him? was it the tactics or the team vibes? 
but oliver glasner is gonna be under so much pressure now 
can he save the red devils from being irrelevant? 
only time will tell, but for now, i'm just gonna tune out and wait forglasner to prove himself 
Anyway, I think Darren Fletcher's in charge now and he's like, a legend or something... so yeah, let's see how he does 
Guess it's all on Oliver Glasner to turn things around, which is cool, but also pressure, right? 
. And don't even get me started on those midfield positioning issues 
️! Anyway, Darren Fletcher stepping in is a no-brainer, I guess 
? One thing's for sure: Manchester United needs to refocus and get their mojo back 
.
. The thing is, I don't think people are giving him enough credit for what he did get right - his teams have always been solid, if nothing spectacular 
. But yeah, Manchester United needs to step up their game if they wanna stay competitive in the Premier League, no doubt about it 
. Darrell Fletcher's gotta bring some fresh energy to the table, and then Glasner takes over... the pressure is on!
but seriously tho, this is like, super important for united. they can't keep messing around. ifglasner doesn't get it right, it'll be game over 
he got a raw deal, like one day u r makin progress and next u r outta there 
.
... it just doesn't feel right. Glasner's got some big shoes to fill 
... they need someone who can get the team firing on all cylinders again 
️, but it seems like nobody knows what that formula is anymore 
. Don't get me wrong, Fergie wasn't perfect either, but at least he had a vision for the team and stuck to it. This whole thing with Amorim feels like a mess. What happened in that podcast recording that made him get canned so fast? Was it really just his tactics or was there something more going on behind the scenes?
