“Pack your things and go” – Contract termination threat follows disastrous Old Trafford defeat
Manchester United’s crisis deepens as manager Rúben Amorim reportedly gave a brutal ultimatum to one of the club’s £60 million stars following their 2-0 loss to West Ham United at Old Trafford. Sources from within the club reveal the manager confronted the player in the dressing room, stating:
> “I give you this week to pack your things and leave… or your contract will be terminated.”
Key Match Fallout:
Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen scored to seal West Ham’s first Premier League win at Old Trafford since 2007.
The loss drops United to 16th in the table, just one point clear of the Hammers.
United’s defense looked shambolic again, conceding first for the 12th home game this season—an all-time low for the club.
Player in Question:
While the identity of the player hasn’t been officially confirmed, speculation is swirling around Antony or Mason Mount, both under fire for underwhelming performances and hefty price tags. The player’s showing was described internally as “humiliating,” prompting Amorim’s fierce reaction.
Injury Blow:
Leny Yoro limped off with a foot injury, possibly missing the Europa League final against Tottenham on May 21.
Why It Matters:
This latest drama marks an explosive escalation inside a dressing room already fractured by poor form, internal criticism, and Amorim’s recent emotional confession that the job may be “too big” for him. If the player in question is cut before the final, it will be a clear message of no tolerance heading into the most important match of United’s season.
