BREAKING NEWS: Gary Neville Slams Ruben Amorim After Manchester United’s Derby Humiliation
The atmosphere at Old Trafford turned toxic after Manchester United’s heavy defeat to arch-rivals Manchester City, with frustration spilling over among fans and pundits. Gary Neville, a club icon, delivered a scathing verdict on head coach Ruben Amorim, pinning the team’s collapse squarely on his shoulders and branding the performance one of the club’s lowest points in recent memory.
Neville, visibly angry when speaking after the final whistle, dismissed any notion of patience for the Portuguese manager. “That was a disgrace,” he snapped. “This is Manchester United—there are no excuses. The players looked clueless, the tactics were non-existent, and City ran circles around us. If Amorim doesn’t sort this out quickly, this season will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.” His words struck a chord with supporters, many of whom stormed out of the stadium long before the end.
From the opening whistle, City were in complete control. United’s defense looked fragile, their midfield collapsed under pressure, and the attack led by Bruno Fernandes barely tested the opposition. Neville pointed out that beyond the tactical issues, there was no trace of determination or spirit, saying: “Where’s the fight? Where’s the character? That’s not the United I grew up with—it was embarrassing.”
Fans wasted no time venting online, with “#AmorimOut” quickly climbing to the top of social media trends. While a few pleaded for patience, most echoed Neville’s fury, demanding accountability and drastic change after such a derby humiliation.
United’s season now faces a critical juncture. Amorim, already under fire, must provide immediate solutions or risk losing both the dressing room and the trust of the fanbase. This was only one match on paper, but its repercussions could linger throughout the campaign. For Neville, and thousands of United fans, the message is clear—things cannot continue like this.
