BERBATOV SLAMS TWO UNITED PLAYERS, CALLS THEM “DEAD WEIGHT” AFTER NOTTINGHAM FOREST LOSS
Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov has sharply criticized two current players following their underwhelming performances in the shocking defeat to Nottingham Forest. In an intense statement, Berbatov didn’t hold back, saying:
“Some players have NO business being at Manchester United anymore! This isn’t the coach’s fault—it’s the players. I don’t understand how they’re even starting. They were a complete disaster against Nottingham Forest and were largely responsible for the defeat. Ruben Amorim needs to stop selecting them—it’s that simple.”
Berbatov’s strong words have caused a stir among United fans, many of whom agree that the team’s inconsistencies are holding them back. While he didn’t name the players specifically, speculation is growing as fans analyze the disappointing match.
The loss, a 2-1 defeat to Forest, exposed significant weaknesses in the team’s performance. Despite praise for newly appointed coach Ruben Amorim’s tactical style, Berbatov firmly placed the blame on the players:
“United can’t afford to carry dead weight if they want to challenge at the top. This is Manchester United—it’s not enough to play well every now and then. If you’re not consistently performing, you don’t belong here.”
Wayne Rooney, another United legend, voiced his agreement with Berbatov’s comments:
“Honestly, he’s right. The standards at this club have dropped. It’s not just about wearing the badge—it’s about giving everything every game. If players aren’t ready to fight, they shouldn’t be on the pitch.”
The remarks from two of United’s most respected former players highlight the growing frustration among supporters. As the January transfer window nears, many are urging coach Amorim and the United board to make changes to the squad, offloading underperforming players and bringing in new talent.
United’s defeat to Forest exposed issues like a sluggish midfield, defensive mistakes, and a lack of urgency—problems that have plagued the team recently. Fans have taken to social media, demanding accountability from both the players and management.
With United struggling to find consistency, the pressure is rising. Berbatov’s candid critique may serve as a wake-up call for the club to reassess its approach and ensure that only players who meet Old Trafford’s high standards remain.
