A Manchester United U18s coach has criticized Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim for overlooking a young striker who could help resolve the team’s ongoing goal-scoring struggles.
“He’s a natural goalscorer! He wants to score and has what it takes to perform in big games, but Amorim won’t see it!” the coach asserted, highlighting the player’s ability to convert chances—something Sporting desperately needs.
Sporting has faced difficulties in front of goal this season despite their dominance in possession. Missed opportunities have cost them crucial points in the title race, intensifying scrutiny on Amorim’s tactical decisions.
The young forward in question has reportedly been impressive in training, consistently finding dangerous positions and finishing with precision. However, Amorim has yet to give him a real chance, sparking frustration among fans and raising questions about the manager’s reluctance.
Is it tactical stubbornness? A lack of trust in young players? Or is Amorim simply overlooking what others see? With Sporting’s goal drought persisting, the pressure is mounting.
As the situation unfolds, many are wondering—will Amorim reconsider his stance before it’s too late, or will his reluctance to trust a proven finisher cost Sporting their title ambitions?
