Tensions Soar at Old Trafford as Rúben Amorim Blasts Underperforming Player After Woeful International Display
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has reportedly delivered a scathing critique of one of his players following a disappointing World Cup qualifying performance.
Speaking after the international break, Amorim expressed his frustration over the player’s poor form for both club and country, raising doubts about their future at Old Trafford.
“I watched his performance in the qualifiers and honestly, I have to ask—how is he even a footballer?” Amorim reportedly said.
“I don’t want him anywhere near the squad when the Premier League resumes. He should stay in his country or find a club willing to tolerate his performances.”
The player in question, whose identity remains undisclosed, has come under heavy criticism after costly mistakes contributed to his national team’s elimination from the World Cup race.
Fans have speculated about who Amorim might be referring to, with many pointing to a struggling squad member who also underperformed in a recent defeat against Leicester City.
Amorim’s harsh words reflect his growing frustration with Manchester United’s inconsistent season, which has seen them crash out of the Champions League early and struggle in the Premier League.
His comments have ignited debate on social media, with some fans applauding his no-nonsense approach, while others worry that public criticism could harm squad morale.
The Portuguese manager’s willingness to call out underperformers suggests a significant squad overhaul could be on the horizon.
With the Premier League returning soon, all eyes will be on whether the targeted player remains in Amorim’s plans—or if his words signal the beginning of a summer shake-up at Old Trafford.
