Tensions Boil at Old Trafford as Amorim Blasts Underperforming Player
Live from Old Trafford โ Manchester United manager Rรบben Amorim has sparked major controversy after delivering a brutally honest assessment of one of his players following a disappointing World Cup qualifying performance.
Speaking to reporters after the international break, Amorim held nothing back in his criticism, raising serious doubts about the playerโs future at the club.
Amorimโs Scathing Remarks
“Iโve watched him play for his national team in the World Cup qualifiers, and I have just one questionโhow is this guy even a footballer?” Amorim said, visibly frustrated. “How he ended up at this club is a mystery. Once the Premier League returns, I donโt want him anywhere near the squad. He should stay in his country or find a club willing to tolerate his disaster-class performances. The way he ruined his national team, just like he did against Leicester City, is unforgivable.”
While Amorim did not name the player, speculation is running wild. Many believe he is referring to a struggling United star whose costly mistakes contributed to his countryโs elimination from World Cup contentionโmirroring his poor form in a recent match against Leicester City.
Backlash and Fan Reactions
Social media erupted following Amorimโs outburst. One fan posted, โWe donโt need him ever again ๐ก canโt even play proper football ๐๐ฑ๐.โ Another wrote, โFinally, someone says what weโre all thinking. Get him out!โ
However, not everyone agrees with Amorimโs approach, with some fans questioning whether public criticism could damage dressing-room morale.
A Sign of Major Changes?
This isnโt the first time Amorim has publicly called out players, signaling his demand for accountability. With Unitedโs struggles this seasonโincluding an early Champions League exit and inconsistent Premier League performancesโpressure is mounting. Reports suggest a squad overhaul could be on the horizon this summer, with several underperforming stars facing uncertain futures.
With the Premier League resuming soon, all eyes will be on Amorimโs team selection. Will the player in question be included in the squad, or has his time at Old Trafford already run out? One thing is clearโunder Amorim, mediocrity wonโt be tolerated.
