Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim says he’s ready to resign because of ONE particular player who always let the team down when it matters.
Manchester United’s latest nightmare unfolded in front of their own fans as Newcastle United dismantled them 4-1 in a match that left Old Trafford in stunned silence. The defeat, yet another brutal chapter in a difficult season, triggered immediate and ruthless action from new manager Rúben Amorim. Furious with the team’s collapse, Amorim wasted no time in making a decisive move, confirming after the final whistle that one underperforming player would be suspended indefinitely and excluded from the squad for the upcoming fixture against Lyon.
Though Amorim stopped short of naming names during his post-match comments, club sources quickly revealed that the player in question is Victor Lindelöf. The Swedish defender delivered what many supporters and pundits have described as one of the most shambolic performances of the season. His display at the heart of United’s defense left fans livid and analysts baffled as Newcastle attackers exploited the back line with alarming ease.
The 4-1 loss wasn’t just a result of physical mistakes but also mental errors, poor positioning, and a glaring lack of leadership from Lindelöf. The experienced center-back appeared overwhelmed, often caught out of position and slow to react as Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon, and their teammates tore through United’s defensive shape. What frustrated Amorim even more was the absence of fight, resilience, and organization — traits expected from a player of Lindelöf’s stature.
Amorim, still early into his tenure at Manchester United, made it clear that he’s not interested in reputations or past service if a player can’t handle the pressure and expectations of representing one of the world’s biggest clubs. His remarks to reporters underlined a shift in attitude, emphasizing mentality, hunger, and accountability over experience alone. He stressed that disrespecting the badge, the fans, or the club’s standards would carry consequences.
The decision to suspend Lindelöf has been widely praised by supporters, many of whom have long voiced concerns over the defender’s inconsistency in high-pressure matches. Social media buzzed with reactions hailing Amorim’s boldness, with fans celebrating the manager for showing the kind of authority and leadership they felt had been missing at United for months.
As United prepares for a crucial European clash against Lyon, Amorim is reportedly considering promoting youth players from the academy or reshuffling his options at the back. He made it clear that only those willing to fight for the club and uphold its standards will be given a place on the pitch. The message to the squad couldn’t be clearer — deliver or be left behind.
Whether this strong stance will spark a turnaround in fortunes for the Red Devils remains to be seen. But for the first time in a while, there’s a sense among supporters that the manager is serious about restoring discipline and pride at Old Trafford. If Amorim’s decisions continue in this vein, it could signal the beginning of a new, no-nonsense era at Manchester United.
