Welcome in to the latest edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and Shaka.

Here's a lot, only one place to start today's show. And that of course is the news.

Not...

Although that is a sacking we'll be talking about later.

Ruben Amarine, sacked as manager of Manchester United, just reflecting on what I think it's fair to say was a very disappointing tenure.

Of course, he joined the club in November 24. It took him two months to come out and say this is the worst team in club history.

He then made it through, of course, the Europa League Final where he lost disappointingly against Spurs.

They finished 15th in his first season. That's their worst finish since 1975.

Then on Sunday of course, after a slightly improved season, he came out and said that he was a manager, not a head coach, calling out the board,

and then it just took the board less than 24 hours to announce his sacking.

For more on this, Mario Malkiot joins us, but Ogggie, I want to start with you. You take a look at this. Was the press conference yesterday the final nail in the coffin or was he already dead and buried? Well, I was at the press conference, I was at Leeds on Sunday. I felt leaving the ground that that was it. I thought he was done and I expected to be gone by the end of the week. I didn't think it'd be done today but I'm not surprised he's gone. But I thought that was a final nail but I've been told today by people at United that actually the kind of the die was cast before that that he, it was this blowout with Jason Wilcox to director of football on Friday that kind of sealed his fate. But it was more a case of just basically the results, the performances, the inflexibility of his tactics, he's kind of, it was said to me an immature reaction at times to requests or suggestions that he might change his formation. Now I was told that when he got the job in the interview he said, I will start with three at the bat, but I will evolve and we will evolve and then we will kind of play a different way. And 12, 13 months on, he hadn't even suggested any change from his three at the back. So United felt that they were kind of given this under false pretenties, but I mean, that's one side of the story. I think ultimately it's been a disastrous appointment. The results have been terrible.

The tactics have been terrible.

The performances have been worse.

And I think what happened at Leeds on Sunday was the final nail
