Live from Old Trafford: The Manchester Derby Ends in Fury as Dressing Room Tensions Explode
Manchester United’s crushing defeat to Manchester City has not only left fans disheartened but also ignited chaos behind the scenes. Reports suggest striker Benjamin Šeško erupted in anger at head coach Ruben Amorim, holding him solely responsible for the tactical collapse.
Šeško Slams Amorim
In a heated post-match rant, Šeško made his feelings crystal clear:
“From the first whistle to the last, this loss is on him. I begged him to start Kobbie Mainoo with me—we’ve built a real partnership—but he refused. Now I’m questioning my decision to even come here. How can you sideline a player like Mainoo? It’s madness, and it’s killing us.”
His remarks underline the growing rift in the dressing room as United’s season teeters on the brink of disaster.
Fans Rage Over Mainoo Snub
Supporters quickly joined the chorus of criticism, venting online about Amorim’s refusal to start the teenage sensation.
One fan posted: “How can you drop Mainoo in a derby like this? Unreal decision.” Another added: “Amorim bottled it. Mainoo is the heartbeat of this midfield—benching him is unforgivable.”
Pressure Builds on Amorim
The derby defeat is being labelled as one of United’s lowest points of the campaign. Amorim’s tactical calls are under fire, with critics warning he risks losing both the dressing room and the backing of the fanbase if things don’t change fast.
The question now looms larger than ever: Can Ruben Amorim steady the ship, or is the Old Trafford pressure already crushing.
