Ruben Amorim has instructed Manchester United FLOP to leave the Club with immediate effect
Manchester United’s turbulent season took another dark turn with a 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United on May 11, 2025—a result that deepened the club’s crisis and raised even more questions about its trajectory under current leadership. This loss wasn’t just any setback; it was West Ham’s first league win at Old Trafford in nearly two decades, and it left United languishing in 16th place, a single point ahead of the Hammers.
West Ham struck first through Tomáš Souček in the 26th minute, finishing off a slick move initiated by Mohammed Kudus. Jarrod Bowen added a second just after the break, exploiting a glaring weakness in United’s midfield. Despite registering 20 shots throughout the game, the home side couldn’t breach Alphonse Areola’s goal. The West Ham goalkeeper was superb, making key saves and frustrating a Manchester United side that, once again, looked disjointed and uninspired.
The defeat set a new unwanted club record: it was the twelfth time this season that United had conceded the opening goal at Old Trafford. This recurring issue speaks to a broader lack of defensive solidity and mental resilience—a trend that has haunted the squad throughout the campaign.
Pressure is mounting on manager Rúben Amorim, who now has just days to rally his side ahead of their Europa League final clash with Tottenham on May 21. The loss to West Ham has dealt a blow to morale and raised serious doubts about the team’s preparedness for such a high-stakes encounter.
Adding to the misery was the sight of 19-year-old defender Leny Yoro hobbling off with a foot injury. Clearly in pain and visibly upset, his early departure cast a shadow over United’s already bleak afternoon and potentially leaves the team even more vulnerable heading into the final.
With one league game left before they face Tottenham, Manchester United must confront the magnitude of their collapse. This final stretch will test not just their physical capabilities, but their character and will to fight. The only way to salvage anything from this nightmare of a season is to regroup quickly, make critical tactical adjustments, and summon the kind of grit and discipline that’s been missing all year.
