This is according to Ruben Amorim as he blows hot on a Manchester United’s ‘inexperienced’ star for his overconfident play that cost them an easy win against Nottingham Forest.

Ruben Amorim’s name has been circulating lately in connection with a possible move to Manchester United, and a recent rumour involving him has stirred quite a reaction. Following Manchester United’s underwhelming Premier League performance against Nottingham Forest, reports began to surface suggesting that Amorim had sharply criticised young forward Alejandro Garnacho. The claim was that Amorim, known for his tough, no-nonsense coaching style, lashed out at Garnacho’s overconfident play, allegedly telling him he is “not Ronaldo” and needs to rein in his individualistic tendencies.

The supposed incident has made waves, particularly because Garnacho’s performance in the match did draw some criticism from fans and analysts. United were expected to win comfortably but found themselves frustrated by Nottingham Forest’s defensive resilience. Garnacho reportedly tried to force the issue too often, taking on defenders when simpler options were available, and missing key chances to pass. His decision-making came under the spotlight, with many suggesting that his raw talent needs to be backed by better discipline and awareness in the final third.

The alleged comments from Amorim, if true, would suggest a tough stance on accountability, one that some supporters argue has been lacking at the club. With Erik ten Hag still at the helm but under growing pressure, Amorim has been touted as a potential successor, and this rumoured warning to Garnacho could be seen as an early indication of the standards he would expect should he take over.

However, there is no verified information confirming Amorim ever made such statements. He is not currently part of Manchester United’s coaching staff and has not publicly criticised Garnacho or commented on the club’s recent results. While it’s true Garnacho is still learning the ropes and refining his style, there’s no solid evidence that Amorim delivered any sort of harsh message to him.

What remains true is that Garnacho is a talented young attacker with enormous potential. As with any rising star, growing pains are part of the journey, and how he responds to both internal feedback and public scrutiny will shape his path. Whether or not Amorim is in his future as a coach, the key for Garnacho will be striking a balance between confidence and responsibility on the pitch.
