Buses Take a Jab at Struggling United Coach

In a cheeky twist of fate, Manchester buses have begun to mock Ruben Amorim, the beleaguered manager of Manchester United, as his team grapples with a dismal season start.

The Red Devils find themselves in a precarious position, languishing at the bottom of the Premier League with only four points from their first four matches—one win achieved thanks to a last-minute strike against Burnley.

Cup Catastrophe Adds to the Pressure

To add insult to injury, Amorim’s squad was eliminated from the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby, leaving them with just the league and FA Cup to aim for after missing out on European football.

Fan Frustration Grows

Amid the struggles, fans are beginning to lose faith in Amorim, questioning whether he should remain in his position. His insistence on sticking to a 3-4-3 formation has drawn ire, with many clamoring for a more traditional four-at-the-back system.

Paddy Power Jokes with a Bus Campaign

In a lighthearted jab at the situation, betting company Paddy Power has rolled out a campaign featuring a Manchester bus sporting the playful slogan: 'THE ONLY 343 THAT WORKS IN MANCHESTER.' This cleverly refers to the bus route, which runs from Oldham to Hyde, and it has been spotted near Old Trafford and around the city.

A Paddy Power spokesperson noted, 'Times are tough up in Manchester. Some things clearly aren't working, but we think it's only fair to credit those who are getting the job done.'
