Ruben Amorim delivered a warning that a storm was coming, early into his Manchester United tenure.
After a season he admits has been "disastrous", the last-day win over Aston Villa brought some smiles back to faces at Old Trafford, on the back of the painful Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
And, during his on-pitch address to the crowd after the final whistle, he made a promise this time around, in terms of his next prediction.
He said the good times are coming but everyone faces a choice - whether to fight each other or stick together.
