“Ruben Used Them Against Us and They Made Me Restless!” – Arne Slot Calls Out Ruben Amorim Over Manchester United’s Team Selection
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has sparked controversy after openly questioning Ruben Amorim’s team selection at Manchester United. In a surprising press conference moment, Slot urged the Portuguese coach to rethink his decision to bench two key players, warning:
“Ruben used them against us, and they made me restless. I don’t know why he has decided to bench them in their last three games… He won’t go anywhere without those guys!”
Who Are the Two Players Slot Believes Amorim Must Reinstate?
The mystery surrounding Slot’s comments has fueled speculation, with sources pointing to Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo as the two players in question.
- Marcus Rashford: The English winger, despite some inconsistency, remains one of United’s most dangerous attacking threats. His pace and ability to deliver in big moments have made him a nightmare for defenders. However, Amorim has surprisingly dropped Rashford in recent games, raising doubts about his place in the team.
- Kobbie Mainoo: The young midfielder has been a revelation, showcasing maturity, composure, and tactical intelligence beyond his years. He was crucial in United’s resurgence last season, yet Amorim’s tactical adjustments have seen him left out of the starting XI—a move that has left many fans frustrated.
Amorim’s Gamble – A Tactical Misstep?
For many, Amorim’s decision to bench Rashford and Mainoo signals a major tactical shift, but critics—including Slot—believe it could backfire. Liverpool struggled against the duo when they played under Erik ten Hag, proving their importance in big matches.
Manchester United fans are also growing impatient with Amorim’s lineup choices. With results faltering, pressure is mounting on the Portuguese coach to bring back the duo that once made United’s attack and midfield so dangerous.
Will Amorim Listen to Slot’s Advice?
With Manchester United struggling for consistency, Amorim may soon have no choice but to reinstate Rashford and Mainoo. If not, he risks alienating key players and losing the trust of fans eager for a return to success.
As for Arne Slot, his comments serve as both a warning and a challenge. Will Amorim acknowledge his mistake, or will he stick to his guns? One thing is clear—if he doesn’t act fast, his time at Old Trafford could be shorter than expected.
