Ferguson has advised Amorim to part ways with two underperforming players, stressing that their poor displays could cost him his position at Old Trafford.
Following Manchester United’s disappointing 3-1 loss to Brighton, club icon Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in attendance at the match, has reportedly given Rúben Amorim some tough advice. The legendary former manager is believed to have urged Amorim to offload two players he considers to be hindering the team’s progress.
According to reports, Ferguson advised Amorim to part ways with goalkeeper André Onana and defender Diogo Dalot, both of whom he sees as weak links in the squad. Onana has faced widespread criticism after his costly error led to one of Brighton’s goals, raising concerns about his reliability as United’s first-choice shot-stopper. Meanwhile, Dalot’s inconsistent displays have continued to frustrate fans, with his latest performance once again falling short of expectations in key moments.
With United struggling at just 11 points from 11 matches, Ferguson is said to have cautioned Amorim that persisting with underperforming players could put his position at risk. His remarks have struck a chord with supporters, many of whom took to social media to demand changes, echoing Ferguson’s concerns and urging Amorim to take swift action.
The defeat against Brighton has further intensified the pressure on Amorim, with growing doubts over his ability to steer the team back on track. A significant section of the fanbase believes that following Ferguson’s advice could mark the beginning of United’s revival and help avoid further setbacks in what has been a turbulent season so far.
As scrutiny on Amorim mounts, fans and pundits alike are eager to see whether he will heed Ferguson’s counsel and make decisive changes or continue to place his trust in players whose performances have failed to inspire confidence.
