Luke Shaw Reveals Heated Clash With Ruben Amorim After Manchester Derby

“I know I made a mistake for that goal that Haaland scored, but what Ruben Amorim said to me after the match is over is what I will not accept from anybody — not even my manager.” – Luke Shaw

 

Manchester United’s derby defeat to Manchester City has now been overshadowed by explosive revelations from Luke Shaw, who has admitted responsibility for his defensive error against Erling Haaland but has also lifted the lid on a post-match incident that is sending shockwaves through Old Trafford.

 

The England international confessed to his costly mistake but insisted that it was Amorim’s words after the final whistle — not the on-field blunder — that truly left him angry and upset.

Shaw’s Honest Admission Turns Into a Clash

 

Speaking after the match, Shaw made no attempt to hide his guilt over the first goal:

 

> “I know I made a mistake for that goal that Haaland scored, but what Ruben Amorim said to me after the match is over is what I will not accept from anybody, not even my manager.”

 

 

 

Although Shaw didn’t reveal Amorim’s exact words, his reaction alone paints a vivid picture of the rising tension inside the United camp. For a senior player to go public in such a way signals that something has gone seriously wrong in the dressing room dynamic.

Amorim’s Approach Under Scrutiny

 

Since taking charge, Ruben Amorim has been hailed for his tactical ideas but also criticized for his uncompromising personality. While many fans appreciate his demanding standards, Shaw’s revelations now bring up a serious question: is Amorim pushing his players too far?

 

A manager’s job is not only to set up the team tactically but also to maintain unity and respect among the squad. Shaw’s comments suggest that line may have been crossed, sparking fears of a possible rift between manager and players at a time when the club desperately needs stability.

Dressing Room Reactions

 

Insiders claim the mood after the derby was already tense following the defeat. Amorim, visibly frustrated, is believed to have confronted Shaw directly, and some teammates were shocked at the tone of the exchange. Senior figures in the squad, including Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, were seen trying to defuse the situation, but the damage appeared to be done.

 

The fear now is that such a public rift could destabilize the squad even further in what is already shaping up to be a difficult campaign.

Fans Divided

 

The Manchester United fanbase is now split:

 

Some argue that Amorim is right to demand accountability from his players, especially in high-stakes games like the derby.

 

Others believe Shaw deserves respect as a long-serving player and that Amorim’s handling of the situation was unnecessary and disrespectful.

 

 

One thing is certain: this latest development adds yet another layer of drama to United’s season, and all eyes will now be on how Amorim and Shaw handle the fallout in the coming days.
