“Why would he do such a thing to me, I have given my blood and sweat to this club and this is what I get in return?. Our new manager’s methods are a bit harsh” – Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim appears to have caused tension within the dressing room, as one of the club’s key players has openly addressed concerns about his management approach. Reports suggest the situation could affect team morale and overall performance.
Ruben Amorim has already stirred up tension within the Manchester United dressing room.
Ruben Amorim has quickly established his authority at Manchester United, signaling that players won’t dictate terms under his leadership.
His decision to let Ruud van Nistelrooy go—though seen as necessary by some fans—sparked discontent within parts of the fanbase and the squad.
Van Nistelrooy, who briefly served as interim manager, had built a strong bond with players during his short stint. Reports suggested his return in the summer was warmly welcomed by both the dressing room and supporters.
After securing three wins in four games, the players reportedly hoped he would stay, with goalkeeper Andre Onana publicly advocating for his retention, praising Van Nistelrooy’s experience and positive influence.
Despite the players’ backing, Amorim dismissed Van Nistelrooy on his first day at Carrington, choosing instead to bring his trusted staff from Sporting CP, including five coaches and an analyst, to align with his vision for the team. This decision highlights Amorim’s resolve to implement his approach, even if it ruffles feathers early in his tenure.
