Manchester United
Ruben Amorim was given the first terrible Manchester United situation right away.
Most of us would like some time to get used to a new job, especially one as demanding as Ruben Amorim’s at Manchester United.
Sadly for the Portuguese head coach, he won’t be able to do this because the Premier League and EFL have terrible schedules. After the date for their Carabao Cup quarterfinal was announced, United only had one day to get ready for their Premier League game at home against AFC Bournemouth.
On their way to the final eight, the Reds will play Tottenham Hotspur. They beat Barnsley and Leicester City on their way there. Manchester United announced on Wednesday that they will play Tottenham on Thursday, December 19 at 8 p.m.
The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event. The other three games, between Arsenal and Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Brentford, and Southampton and Liverpool, will happen the day before, on Wednesday, December 18. United will have to play Spurs on Thursday and Bournemouth on Saturday, which is not good news.
It would be hard for the players to get back to work in such short time, even when Thursday games aren’t a problem. When the Reds play in the Europa League, they usually play twice, on Thursday and Sunday, so that players have more time to rest.
But the two games in three days will come after five games in December, including a tough match against Manchester City. The Bournemouth game has not been changed to Sunday, December 22 yet.
It looks like United will not be getting this break this time, though. FIFA is being sued for expanding the Club World Cup, and UEFA is being criticized for putting more stress on players in their new European competitions. It looks like local decision-makers don’t know anything about the problems with player welfare either.
There seems to be a revolt coming up, but that won’t help Amorim. Almost right away, he will learn about the stresses and pressures of English sport.
The full December program from MEN Sport is shown below:
December 1: Everton played in the Premier League.
December 4: Arsenal A plays in the Premier League
December 7: Nottingham Forest H – Premier League
