The tension at Old Trafford has reached boiling point as club legend Wayne Rooney has reignited fierce debate about Ruben Amorim’s suitability to lead Manchester United. Speaking with brutal honesty, Rooney has doubled down on his earlier remarks, describing Amorim as a “Little Coach” and insisting that urgent change is needed if United are to rediscover their glory days.
“When I said Amorim was a ‘Little Coach’, some fans thought I was against them,” Rooney explained. “But no, I was only being realistic. This man needs to be sacked before anything good can happen at Manchester United. You can’t keep making the same costly mistakes at this level. Amorim is repeating errors that show he is not ready for this job.”
According to Rooney, the one mistake that could soon cost Amorim his position is his tactical stubbornness and poor squad selection. Rooney claims the Portuguese boss has failed to adapt in big matches, leaving United vulnerable in key moments. “You cannot treat Manchester United like a small project. This is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Every game is a final. Amorim’s refusal to make brave decisions and his poor in-game management will destroy this season.”
Rooney’s words have exploded across social media, dividing fans. Some supporters agree that the former United captain has spoken the harsh truth, while others believe he is being unfairly critical so early in Amorim’s reign. Yet, the reality on the pitch — disappointing results and inconsistent performances — only fuel the narrative that the new era may already be under threat.
As pressure mounts, questions loom large over whether United’s board will continue backing Amorim or consider pulling the plug before it’s too late.
Rooney has made his stance crystal clear: without change, Manchester United risk falling further behind their rivals — and Amorim may not survive the storm.
