Diogo Dalot finally reveals what Amorim said to Him after substituting him today that really got Him upset
Drama is unfolding at Old Trafford after Diogo Dalot revealed the stinging words that came from manager Ruben Amorim during Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. The Portuguese defender, who was taken off in the second half following a difficult display, admitted he felt both disrespected and humiliated by what was said to him on the touchline.
Speaking after the game, Dalot did not hold back in expressing his frustration. “This isn’t the first time Amorim has done this, but what he told me today really cut deep. I’ve tolerated enough, and he should understand that not every player accepts such treatment,” he told reporters.
Although Dalot refused to repeat the exact words, reports from within the camp suggest Amorim questioned his focus, fitness, and discipline, making it clear that his place in the squad was far from secure if his standards didn’t improve. Those close to the dugout described Dalot walking off shaking his head, visibly angered by the exchange.
The revelation has split opinion. Many supporters back Amorim’s hard stance, insisting that players must be held accountable when they underperform. Others, however, feel that dressing down a player so publicly only risks dividing the squad, particularly when the player involved has remained loyal through United’s turbulent spells.
The reaction online was immediate and heated. Some fans accused Amorim of already “losing the dressing room,” while others criticised Dalot for complaining instead of taking responsibility for his form. The incident has only intensified the spotlight on Amorim, who is already said to have clashed with several senior players since taking charge, demanding more discipline and intensity.
For Dalot, this confrontation could prove decisive for his future at the club. Either he finds a way to win back Amorim’s trust or he may be forced to consider a move elsewhere.
