Man City coach Pep Guardiola names ONE player Ruben Amorim must axed before he could succeed at Old Trafford
Pep Guardiola has ignited fresh drama at Old Trafford with a shocking revelation that has left Manchester United fans stunned. The Manchester City manager boldly claimed that a single United player was at the heart of Erik ten Hag’s downfall—and even more alarmingly, he believes the same figure is now threatening to derail Ruben Amorim’s tenure before it properly takes shape.
Speaking with brutal honesty, Guardiola warned that United’s struggles are not simply down to tactics or coaching ability. According to him, no matter how skilled or intelligent a manager is, their time at the club will be doomed as long as this player remains in the dressing room. “He got Erik ten Hag sacked, and now he’s trying to do the same with Amorim,” Guardiola said, sparking heated debates among football fans across the globe.
Interestingly, Guardiola admitted he has been outsmarted tactically by Amorim in the past during their time in Portugal, but stressed that he doesn’t wish to see the Portuguese boss fail in England. In his view, Amorim’s biggest challenge isn’t about buying players or changing systems—it’s about having the courage to cut ties with the disruptive influence holding United back.
Reports suggest Guardiola has even warned Amorim directly: “I know he beat me many times, but I don’t want him to fail. I told him he must get rid of that player, otherwise history will repeat itself.”
This explosive claim has set off wild speculation among fans and pundits alike. Some point to captain Bruno Fernandes, whose confrontations with referees and teammates have drawn criticism. Others believe Jadon Sancho fits the description, given his public fallout with Ten Hag. Marcus Rashford has also been mentioned, with critics accusing him of inconsistency and contributing to disharmony in the squad.
Reactions among United supporters are divided. Many argue Guardiola is simply stirring the pot ahead of the Manchester Derby, while others feel he may have exposed an uncomfortable truth about the toxic culture within the club.
What is clear is that Guardiola’s words have piled even more pressure on Amorim. Already tasked with reviving United’s fortunes, he now faces a defining choice: does he act on Pep’s advice and remove the supposed troublemaker, or risk falling into the same trap that ended Ten Hag’s reign?
All eyes are now on Old Trafford. The world is waiting to see whether Amorim will rise above the storm or if Guardiola’s grim prediction proves to be prophetic.
