“It’s Either Him or Me – I Refuse to Coach a Liability”: Ruben Amorim’s Fury Boils Over After United’s Loss to Wolves
A major storm has erupted at Old Trafford following Manchester United’s shock 1-0 defeat to Wolves, as new head coach Ruben Amorim delivered a brutal post-match ultimatum that’s rattled the club to its core. Known for his firm principles and tactical rigor, Amorim didn’t hold back after the disappointing display.
“Either they move him on, or I’m walking. I won’t coach a player who performs this poorly,” Amorim reportedly said with visible frustration, leaving reporters stunned.
While the Portuguese manager refrained from naming the player during the press conference, sources inside the club have confirmed that his harsh criticism was aimed squarely at Mason Mount.
Mount, signed from Chelsea in a high-profile move last season, once again came under fire for a lackluster showing. His sloppy distribution, failure to track back, and a key lapse that led to Wolves’ winning goal have left fans and his manager deeply frustrated. In the 63rd minute, it was Mount’s inability to cover his man that allowed Matheus Cunha to find the net.
Insiders say Amorim confronted Mount directly in the locker room, challenging his commitment, work ethic, and focus under pressure.
“I came to rebuild a squad based on hunger and discipline. I can’t do that with players who go missing in big moments,” Amorim told journalists. “If the board isn’t willing to cut out what’s holding us back, then I won’t stay.”
Reports suggest Amorim had long-standing doubts about Mount’s place in the squad, even during pre-season, but was persuaded to give him time. After another dismal outing, his patience has clearly run out.
Fans have rallied behind the manager, praising his honesty and demanding immediate changes. Hashtags like #SellMountNow and #InAmorimWeTrust are trending, as supporters plead with the club to back Amorim’s vision.
With the summer transfer window approaching, the spotlight is now on the United hierarchy. Will they side with their no-nonsense manager—or risk losing him to protect a player whose form continues to disappoint?
One thing’s clear: the tension at Manchester United is reaching a breaking point.
