Manchester United’s legend Rio Ferdinand names ONE Man United’s player who deserves to be sold this summer.
Tensions have reached boiling point at Old Trafford after Manchester United’s latest setback — a narrow 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers — and new head coach Rúben Amorim didn’t hold back in his post-match remarks. The Portuguese manager, known for his strict standards and demand for discipline, dropped a bombshell when he issued a firm ultimatum to the club’s hierarchy.
In a moment that left the press room silent, Amorim declared, “Either they sell him, or I leave. I can’t work with a player like that.” Though he refrained from naming the player publicly, sources inside the club have confirmed the target of his frustration is Mason Mount.
Mount, who arrived from Chelsea last season in a heavily publicised transfer, put in another woeful performance against Wolves. Struggling to make any meaningful impact, his game was marred by countless misplaced passes and a decisive error during a counter-attack, allowing Matheus Cunha to net the only goal of the match in the 63rd minute. Fans on social media described him as “invisible” on the pitch, and it appears his latest display pushed Amorim to the edge.
Insiders reveal the manager confronted Mount directly in the dressing room after the final whistle, questioning his effort, attitude, and ability to handle high-pressure situations. Amorim later addressed the media, stating, “I came here to build a team with hunger and discipline. I can’t do that with players who vanish in big games. Standards must be met, or we won’t move forward.”
Having only recently taken charge, Amorim has already made it clear that certain things will not be tolerated under his watch. Rumours suggest he had his reservations about Mount during pre-season, but was convinced by club officials to give the midfielder a chance. Unfortunately for Mount, this latest error may have sealed his fate.
United fans have thrown their support behind the manager, with hashtags like #SellMountNow and #InAmorimWeTrust gaining traction online. Many supporters have praised Amorim for standing firm and demanding accountability, something they believe has been lacking at the club for years. One fan commented, “Finally, a manager with backbone. Get Mount out before he takes us down with him!”
With the summer transfer window approaching, the spotlight now shifts to the Manchester United board. They face a difficult decision: back their newly appointed manager and offload Mount, or risk alienating a coach many believe could finally steer the club back in the right direction. Whatever choice they make, it’s clear the situation at Old Trafford is reaching a critical point, and more drama is almost certainly on the horizon.
