Evra Slams Amorim After United’s Embarrassing Defeat to Brentford
Manchester United’s crushing 3-1 loss to Brentford has left fans outraged, and club legend Patrick Evra has added to the uproar with a fierce attack on manager Ruben Amorim.
The former captain didn’t mince words, pointing the finger at Amorim’s poor tactical calls and his refusal to act on advice about a struggling player.
“Amorim showed he’s still a baby coach with what he did against Brentford today. I warned him about this player, but he wouldn’t listen. You saw the outcome,” Evra said after the match.
Echoing the Fans’ Frustrations
For many United supporters, Evra’s blunt comments mirror their own frustrations. Growing impatience with Amorim’s inexperience and persistent reliance on certain underperformers has fueled anger across the fanbase. Known for speaking his mind, Evra made it clear that both the coach and the player in question must be held accountable for the defeat.
One supporter raged online:
“Evra nailed it. Amorim is learning on the job, and it’s costing us. That player should never wear the shirt again. We’re Manchester United, not a testing ground.”
Another added:
“Amorim isn’t cut out for this stage. If he keeps ignoring legends like Evra, the board is repeating old mistakes.”
A Day to Forget at Brentford
United’s defensive frailties were brutally exposed, while their midfield was overrun throughout the game. Fans had hoped to see a response after recent setbacks, but instead they witnessed another collapse that highlighted the team’s fragility under Amorim.
With United now sliding down the table, pressure on the Portuguese manager has intensified dramatically.
Amorim’s Future in Doubt?
Brought in to rebuild United’s identity and impose discipline, Amorim was expected to steady the ship. But defeats like this—especially against opponents outside the traditional top tier—have cast doubt on whether he is truly equipped for the role.
If he continues to alienate club icons like Evra while failing to spark his players, the United board could soon be forced into yet another managerial shake-up.
As Evra put it, reflecting the mood of countless supporters: “Amorim and that player must take the blame for this humiliation.”
