“He Wasn’t Ready – The Manager Got It Wrong!” – Man United Keeper Slams Amorim After Fulham Slip-Up
Old Trafford is once again at the center of controversy after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Fulham, and this time the backlash has come from inside the dressing room. A frustrated United goalkeeper has publicly questioned Rúben Amorim’s team selection, claiming the coach’s decision to start an unprepared player was the key reason for the dropped points.
After the final whistle, the keeper didn’t mince words:
“He wasn’t ready, and it showed. The blame isn’t on him, it’s on the coach for throwing him into a game of this magnitude. We’re all paying the price for that mistake.”
Yoro’s Bright Start, Then Collapse
United actually got off to a dream start when teenager Leny Yoro powered in his first Premier League goal with a towering header. But instead of seizing control, United lost their grip. Fulham grew in confidence, punished United’s weaknesses, and snatched a deserved equaliser.
The Wrong Call
The player in question looked out of his depth, gifting possession away and failing to track runners at critical moments. Instead of steadying the side, he became a liability. The keeper’s post-match fury echoed what many fans had already seen – that Amorim’s gamble had backfired badly.
Fans and Pundits Unite in Anger
Supporters took to social media in droves:
- “Anyone could see he wasn’t ready. Why Amorim couldn’t is beyond me.”
- “Yoro gave us hope, but poor management killed it again.”
Gary Neville joined the criticism in the Sky Sports studio, saying:
“It wasn’t fair on the player, and it wasn’t fair on the team. The responsibility is Amorim’s – he made the wrong call, and it cost United the win.”
Mounting Pressure on Amorim
With just one win in four games, the pressure is already building on Amorim, who was tasked with dragging United out of the chaos of last season. But if even senior players are now voicing frustrations in public, questions about his authority and judgment will only get louder.
Unless the manager learns quickly, what was billed as a rebuilding season risks becoming another year of disappointment for the Red Devils.
