AMORIM NEVER LEARNS!! Gary Neville Slams Manchester United Coach After Tactical Blunder
Gary Neville has reignited debate in the football world after delivering a scathing assessment of Rúben Amorim, accusing the Sporting Lisbon manager of falling into the same traps that haunted the club last season. According to the former Manchester United captain, Amorim’s refusal to adjust his approach could lead Sporting down a familiar, disastrous path.
Neville’s criticism came after Sporting’s most recent performance, where one player’s dreadful display became the talking point. The pundit questioned why Amorim would continue to put faith in the same underperforming star who already cost the team dearly against Arsenal just days ago. For Neville, rewarding such poor form with another starting role was nothing short of managerial recklessness.
He didn’t mince words during his post-match analysis, stating that Amorim is making the exact tactical blunders that saw Sporting crash out of Europe and slump to a disappointing 15th-place finish last season. Neville argued that the manager’s unwillingness to move away from players who consistently fail in big moments only deepens the crisis.
The warning strikes a chord because fans have started voicing similar frustrations. Many believe Amorim’s loyalty to struggling players is turning into an act of self-sabotage. For a club with ambitions of competing strongly at home and in Europe, supporters say such stubbornness is unforgivable.
Neville even drew a parallel with Erik ten Hag’s downfall at Manchester United, suggesting that the Dutchman’s refusal to adapt and drop out-of-form players accelerated his exit. In Neville’s words, when managers fail to learn from their mistakes, the ending is always predictable—failure.
Sporting fans have now taken to social media in droves to vent their anger, questioning Amorim’s tactical flexibility and decision-making. For many, it feels like history repeating itself, stirring up bitter memories of last season’s collapse.
The pressure is now firmly on Amorim to prove that he can learn from these warnings. If he continues on the same course, the consequences could be just as costly as before. Neville’s remarks may seem harsh, but they echo a growing fear that the manager’s stubbornness could once again derail Sporting’s ambitions.
