The aftermath of Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool continues to capture attention, with frustrations over the team’s lack of consistency reaching a peak. Both fans and analysts are puzzled as to why the Red Devils can perform so well against league leaders Liverpool but fail to maintain that intensity on a regular basis.
A key source close to the club expressed their dissatisfaction, stating, “If they can play like this at Anfield, why isn’t it happening every week? It’s clear that some players become too comfortable and don’t put in consistent effort. The issue isn’t with Amorim—it’s the players.”
This criticism comes amid increasing frustration with certain players’ attitudes. Although the performance at Anfield was praiseworthy, it has only underscored the squad’s inconsistency and complacency. “Today’s match shows that something must have motivated them in the dressing room, but why does it take that extra push for them to perform? Amorim needs to set higher standards and, most importantly, get rid of players who aren’t delivering,” the source added.
The message is clear: a squad overhaul might be necessary to remove the “lazy” players and bring in new talent eager to fight for the team. Many supporters share this sentiment, with social media abuzz about potential changes during the January transfer window.
One fan vented online: “They showed what they’re capable of yesterday, so where has this been all season? We’ve been let down countless times—it’s time to hold them accountable.”
While Amorim has stayed silent on the matter, insiders suggest the United manager shares the same frustrations. Though the performance against Liverpool was an improvement, the team’s inconsistency remains a major concern.
United now faces increasing pressure to not only earn points in the coming matches but also take bold actions to address the squad’s weaknesses. With the January transfer window underway, all eyes are on Old Trafford to see if Amorim will make the necessary changes to get the club back on track.
