“He has just made the biggest mistake in football history”: Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has slammed Ruben Amorim for removing ONE particular player from United’s squad
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim is looking to get one of his players out of the club at the end of the season, according to reports.
The Red Devils are having a terrible campaign with INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe making the decision to sack Erik ten Hag and replace him with Ruben Amorim in November.
Man Utd are currently 13th in the Premier League after their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in midweek and Amorim is already coming under pressure to turn around results and performances.
The strikers at Old Trafford have come under particular scrutiny this season with Rasmus Hojlund and Zirkzee scoring just five Premier League goals between them this season.
Only five Premier League sides have scored fewer goals than Man Utd this season and their attack could require some major surgery in the summer.
One player who doesn’t seem to suit Amorim’s style of play and tactics is Alejandro Garnacho with Spanish publication Fichajes claiming that the Argentina international is ‘the player Amorim wants out’ at Old Trafford.
The Man Utd winger ‘could leave Old Trafford in the summer as he does not have the approval of’ Amorim with his future at the Premier League club ‘beginning to look uncertain’.
Amorim has ‘made his discontent with the player’s defensive commitments known on more than one occasion’ and the youngster could be one of the first players out of the door in the summer.
The report adds: ‘The Portuguese manager’s arrival has shaken up several foundations at Old Trafford, and the South American’s case could be one of the first to be resolved during the summer transfer window.’
‘In the eyes of the new manager, his attacking prowess doesn’t seem to compensate for his shortcomings in defensive play and teamwork. Amorim, who prioritizes tactical intensity and discipline, doesn’t see in the Argentine the committed player profile he demands for a long-term competitive team.
‘Although the striker’s talent is undeniable, his development has stalled in recent months. Opportunities have dwindled as the matchdays have passed, and rumors of a possible exit from the club have begun to grow louder. Teams in Italy and Spain have reportedly shown initial interest, knowing that this could be a market opportunity if United ultimately decides to open the door to him.
‘Those close to the player haven’t ruled out a move in search of playing time and confidence.’
