Former Man United’s coach Erik ten Hag names ONE player Ruben Amorim must axed before he could succeed at Old Trafford.
The turmoil at Manchester United continues, with former manager Erik ten Hag reportedly issuing a stark warning to his successor, Ruben Amorim. Following his dismissal after a turbulent season, Ten Hag has hinted that a particular player played a significant role in his downfall—one he believes Amorim must remove if he hopes to succeed at Old Trafford.
Despite his exit, Ten Hag harbors no resentment toward Amorim and has allegedly reached out to advise him. His warning suggests that there is a disruptive figure within the squad, someone he describes as a “manager killer.” According to Ten Hag, this player wields enough influence to create divisions and derail any manager’s plans. If Amorim does not act swiftly, he too might find himself struggling to implement his vision.
Though Ten Hag has not publicly identified the player, speculation is mounting. Some fans suspect Jadon Sancho, given his high-profile fallout with the Dutchman, while others point to a senior squad member with enough clout to shift the locker room dynamic. Reports suggest that Raphael Varane’s disagreements with Ten Hag, particularly a heated discussion about team management, led to his two-month absence from the squad—fueling theories that senior players contributed to Ten Hag’s dismissal.
Throughout his tenure, Ten Hag reportedly clashed with multiple senior figures, which may have played a role in United’s internal struggles. Now, as Amorim takes charge, he faces a crucial decision—heed Ten Hag’s warning and make tough squad changes, or risk encountering the same fate.
Manchester United’s internal issues remain unresolved, and all eyes will be on Amorim to see how he navigates the challenges ahead. Whether he chooses to follow Ten Hag’s advice or take his own approach, the pressure at Old Trafford is higher than ever.
