Old Trafford descended into chaos once again last night, not because of a dramatic win but due to another heated fallout. Following Manchester United’s frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham, manager Rúben Amorim finally lost patience. Under immense scrutiny to deliver results, the Portuguese coach reportedly told the club’s hierarchy that he can no longer continue with Bryan Mbeumo, the £45 million signing whose performances have consistently fallen short in key moments.
Amorim’s anger was impossible to hide after the match. With a firm tone, he made his feelings clear:
“Enough is enough. I can’t stay silent anymore. His displays are not what this club needs, and something must be done.”
It was a direct message aimed squarely at Mbeumo, who has been under fire from supporters for weeks. The Cameroonian winger was brought in to add speed, flair, and goals to United’s attack, but instead, his contribution has been wasteful and inconsistent. Against Fulham, he squandered chances, slowed United’s tempo, and left fans in disbelief once again.
The reaction online was brutal. Moments after the final whistle, social media was filled with furious fans echoing Amorim’s stance:
“Mbeumo is a £45m disaster. Cash in now.”
“Every time he plays, we’re down to 10 men.”
“Amorim is right—he needs to go.”
Mbeumo’s arrival last summer was supposed to be a statement signing, with United beating several clubs to his signature. But instead of hitting the ground running, he has struggled badly, producing little in attack and disappearing in important matches. Many argue that his proven Premier League background at Brentford should have made him an easy fit, yet his decline at Old Trafford has been alarming.
Reports suggest Amorim has already delivered an ultimatum to the board: either they back him, or they back the player. With the January window approaching, Mbeumo could find himself at the top of the exit list as Amorim pushes to rebuild a faltering squad.
Even within the dressing room, frustrations are said to be mounting. Senior players believe Mbeumo’s lack of urgency and poor decision-making are holding the team back, and Amorim’s explosive comments only confirm what has been whispered behind closed doors for weeks.
One thing is now crystal clear—tensions are reaching breaking point. If the United board continues to shield underperforming players instead of siding with their manager, the club risks spiraling into yet another familiar cycle of failure.
The burning question remains: will Bryan Mbeumo even make it past January, or has Rúben Amorim’s fiery outburst already sealed his fate at Manchester United?
