An ‘exceptional’ Manchester United player is not training with the first team under Ruben Amorim and is set to depart.

“I can’t keep pretending everything is okay. With Erik ten Hag gone, I don’t see a future here anymore—I need to move on,” the player whispered to himself, sitting alone in the deserted training ground. His quiet words seemed to resonate louder than his own footsteps as he headed toward the exit, his mind clouded with frustration and uncertainty. The once-vibrant locker room, brimming with unity under Ten Hag’s disciplined leadership, now felt cold and uninviting.

Under Ruben Amorim’s stewardship, the philosophy felt fractured. The new tactical approach didn’t suit his style, and his bond with the squad seemed to weaken with each passing day. Ten Hag’s absence—a manager who had trusted him, fostered his growth, and brought out the best in him—left a gap that felt impossible to fill.

Under Ten Hag, he had thrived, delivering performances that reflected the confidence and belief the Dutch manager had instilled in him. But now, under the current regime, his role was fading, and his future at Manchester United seemed increasingly uncertain. While he longed to stay loyal to the club, the urge to find a place where he could flourish again was too powerful to ignore.

“Sometimes, the greatest act of loyalty is stepping away—to rediscover yourself,” he thought, gripping his bag tighter as he stepped out. The lights of the training ground flickered behind him, casting long shadows of a chapter closing. It was time to turn the page, to seek new challenges, and to reignite the spark in a career that still held immense promise.
