‘Ruben Amorim is ruining Man United’ -fans erupt at Paul Scholes reveal

Wed 5 February 2025 11:10, UK

Man United fans are concerned about Ruben Amorim’s coaching methods after club legend Paul Scholes discussed what he has seen.

During the latest fan debate on The Overlap Scholes said, “I’ve watched the warm-up funnily enough and they’re actually doing tea shape in the warm-up, they’ve got the back five and they’re in and they’re out, there’s a ball coming over them and they’re heading it.

“They even started doing set pieces in front of everyone, defending set pieces. Come on, it’s the warm-up, you want to get your touch right, you want to enjoy it, you want to enjoy the ball, get a kick of the ball.

“Everything is so into the tactical side of stuff, my head would be fried, I’m not sure I’d be able to play a game.”

United sit 13th in the Premier League table despite the pre-match warm-ups, and have conceded 34 goals in 24 games this season.

The 20-time champions have won just four of the 13 Premier League fixtures that Amorim has been in charge of, drawing two and losing seven.

Supporters have claimed the “fun of the sport is forgotten,” while others stated the warm-ups could be causing “brain fatigue.”

Spot on this. I’ve seen them doing defending set pieces at old Trafford and I’ve never seen it at any other ground on a match day.
They then go and concede goals from corners and free kicks.
There is far less freedom to play for players at the top end now than ever before. https://t.co/g6V16yQVEf

Been thinking the same for a few years , a friend who works in the game told me that warm ups are all for the coaches ego these days 🤔 https://t.co/ndkLcCrDgb

Well to an extent, he has a point. And it's technically, he's not talking about Ruben Amorim alone. It's now everywhere. Everybody's so into tacticality that the fun of the sport is forgotten.. https://t.co/mD0AprKeQd

Uncle Paul Scholes is right here. Modern day football is too tactical to the warm-up and exercises done by the Young players.
It could just cause the players brain fatigue. It is not enjoyable any more. https://t.co/wdXxGhPsXf

SPOT ON. Had it before, if you’re over the age of 16 in any type of team and you’re having to be taught during the warm up where to be dependant on the ball… YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE!! https://t.co/gsak3vJmdW

And that’s the problem with Amorim. Paul puts it so well. Team is down with morale and barage of tactics. Where is the enjoyment of playing football. Look at players faces these days.
