There are five packages to the latest TV rights deal, which began at the start of this season and runs for four years, though Sky Sports owns four of them.
TNT Sports has the 12:30 GMT slot on a Saturday, but doesn’t have any first picks. Sky Sports holds all first picks, 14 for 17:30 on a Saturday and 18 for Sunday at 16:30.
So, what goes into the selection
Had Amorim’s one-year anniversary been marked on 1 October, judgement would have been almost exclusively negative.
At that point, only Tottenham of the 17 teams who remained in the Premier League throughout his tenure had fewer points than United’s 34 from 33 games. After three successive victories, Wolves and West Ham are also behind them now.
On Thursday, for the first time, Amorim was shortlisted for manager of the month.
Amorim is right to be cautious – and United fan Frank Ilett would probably be wise not to get his hopes up that the haircut he promised himself – when the team win five games in a row – might only be three weeks away.
As highlighted by BBC Sport in the build-up to the Liverpool encounter, United have not managed a single point in two seasons from their corresponding
Shaw, 30, says the message must be reinforced by United’s senior players, including himself.
“The more experienced ones need to be demanding more, day in, day out,” he said.
“The levels in training, keeping to the times of when we’re doing this or that, making sure no-one’s coming late.
“The manager’s not bothered. He doesn’t care who the player is. That’s how it should be. Whatever he wants, as players,
But the important thing about the Brazilian’s ball-carrying ability is how deep he likes to drop to get possession. That opens up possibilities for his new club.
United’s central midfield are frequently suffocated by the press, forcing them to pass it backwards to the back three.
The job of both of the number 10s on either side of the main striker is to drop deep for the ball and
“I can understand the media are in shock because normally this doesn’t happen.
“But I think you can also be really happy that finally someone speaks out, says what he thinks and speaks the truth.
“I really appreciate him in our conversations personally. It gives me a feeling I can trust him and he can trust me.”
United are reeling after their worst season domestically since the 1973-74 campaign.

Manchester United were already on a downward trajectory when Amorim took over from Ten Hag last year.
The Red Devils sat 14th in the Premier League with three wins from their opening nine matches.
Things were bad, but they got worse.
While a new manager can often bring struggling teams a turn in fortunes or a so-called ‘new manager bounce’, no such thing has happened at United and instead their
The motivation for Matic’s attack has not been explained.
He was responding to relatively innocuous comments Onana made about Lyon in the build-up to the game, when he said he respected the French club but believed United were “way better”.
However, it is notable how strongly the former Serbia midfielder defended the man Onana replaced, David de Gea, when the Spaniard made his own series of mistakes in May 2019,
Dorgu’s story began with local youth football in his home city of Copenhagen, as well as playing with his siblings. One of his brothers is an attacker for Genoa’s under-20 team, while the other is a goalkeeper in Denmark’s lower leagues.
At 12 years old he was scouted by Danish Superliga side Nordsjaelland, a club – owned by the Right To Dream academy in Ghana – renowned for producing promising
Ruben Amorim may have only been half-joking when he claimed the strains of managing Manchester United were already showing on his youthful features.
Before his first visit to Anfield, the 39-year-old has not so much had a new head-coach bounce as a flatline of failure, with five defeats in eight Premier League games since he succeeded Erik ten Haag at Old Trafford in November.
And Amorim’s message before Sunday’s visit
