Man United star ‘will never trust Ruben Amorim again’ – BBC reveals ‘disaster’

Wed 1 January 2025 16:30, UK

Man United fans believe that Ruben Amorim’s time in charge of the club has been a “disaster” so far in the wake of Joshua Zirkzee’s treatment.

The 23-year-old was brought off in the first half against Newcastle on Monday (30 December) in a decision that proved to be controversial.

The situation was made worse by the brutal reception that the Old Trafford faithful gave the striker, which even left Gary Neville shocked.

Speaking on BBC 5 Live Sport Nigel Reo-Coker said, “He [Zirkzee] will look at Ruben Amorim, and he will never trust him again.

“He’ll be able to look at him and say, ‘Good morning manager,’ but he will not have no respect for him deep down because it’s an admission that Amorim got the starting lineup incorrect.”

United will be back in action on Sunday (4 January) in a huge derby game against Liverpool in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether Zirkzee will feature.

Man United fans are not impressed by Ruben Amorim

Amorim has made several big calls since taking charge of the club, most notably opting to drop Marcus Rashford out of the team.

However, the former Sporting CP manager has yet to provide the necessary turnaround in results that he was brought in to deliver.

The 20-time champions are on a four-match losing streak currently and have only won four out of 11 games in all competitions since Amorim joined the club.

United currently sit 14th in the Premier League table just seven points above the relegation zone which has led to fans questioning Amorim.

You can’t tell me these Manchester United players are this bad. Ruben Amorim is the worst manager out there.
In fact, he should be employed as Man U’s PR officer instead.
Absolutely shocking display. Embarrassing.#MUNNEW

One way to rectify this mistake is to keep the squad as it is, sack Ruben Amorim in the summer, and hire a manager who favors the 4-2-3-1 formation. United does not deserve managers like Ruben Amorim; they should bring back RVN! #Satire #MUFC https://t.co/7eMryjjHum

Why should Amorim automatically be given several windows? He's been a disaster so far.

The defeat yesterday was fully on amorim.
Mainoo and yoro came on and changed the game yet they were not selected to start, even the fans know Case × Erikson is a recipe for disaster.
Dalot on the left is a recipe for disaster.
Fix up @ManUtd

Amorim has been a disaster for us. He refuses to change his style and we don't have the players for his system. He has to go.
I hope we go for Southgate. He's a world class manager.

That’s Rashford, Garnacho and now Zirkzee, the players mistreated by Amorim in what 7 weeks while losing almost all games except for a fluke win against City. What a disaster of a mid season managerial change for Manchester United.
