Wayne Rooney has once again stirred the storm at Old Trafford, openly questioning whether Ruben Amorim is truly the right man to manage Manchester United. The United legend, never one to mince words, stood firmly by his earlier criticism, repeating that Amorim is nothing more than a “Little Coach” and insisting that drastic action must be taken if the club wants to return to its former greatness.
Rooney explained that his blunt remarks were not about opposing the fans but about facing reality. He argued that Amorim’s approach is dragging United backward, stressing that the manager has shown he is unfit for such a massive job. According to him, Amorim’s constant mistakes and inability to learn from them are reasons why he should be dismissed without hesitation.
The former United captain pointed directly to Amorim’s rigid tactics and questionable team selections as his greatest failings. Rooney believes the Portuguese boss has not adapted when it matters most, leaving United exposed in crucial games. In his words, Manchester United is not a side that can be managed like a small experiment — it’s a global giant where every match demands excellence. He accused Amorim of lacking boldness and being incapable of decisive in-game management, warning that such flaws could ruin the entire campaign.
Rooney’s comments quickly spread across social platforms, sparking heated debate among fans. While many supporters applauded him for speaking uncomfortable truths, others felt he was being unfair and too quick to judge a coach who has only just begun his tenure. Still, the poor run of results and uneven performances on the pitch have only intensified the scrutiny, making it harder to dismiss Rooney’s concerns.
With pressure building, all eyes are now on United’s hierarchy to see whether they will keep faith in Amorim or make a ruthless decision before more damage is done. Rooney, however, has made it clear where he stands — without urgent change, United risk sliding even further behind their rivals, and Amorim could soon find himself paying the price.
