A frustrated United legend blasts Ruben Amorim live on TV after the humiliating loss to a 10-man Everton side. He exposes the “real reason” United are collapsing

A Manchester United icon completely lost his cool on live television after what many fans have described as an embarrassing collapse, accusing Rúben Amorim of giving certain struggling players an untouchable status. According to him, the manager’s refusal to rotate the squad is draining confidence, dividing the dressing room, and pushing United toward internal chaos.

His outburst was sparked by United’s disappointing result against a 10-man Everton side — a match they were expected to dominate. But in the legend’s view, the draw (or loss, depending on reports) wasn’t simply a tactical blunder. He believes it exposed a deeper issue.

He claimed Amorim continues to rely on the same players no matter how badly they play. These guys stroll into the starting lineup every week as if their names are carved into stone. Even when they’re off the pace, they keep their spots without question. To him, that’s the heart of the problem.

“We’re watching players who should be fighting for their shirts just walk onto the pitch like it’s guaranteed,” he raged. “That’s not competition — that’s comfort. And comfort is exactly what destroys a club.”

The argument is simple: by protecting certain favourites who are currently off form, Amorim is sending a message that effort is optional and accountability only applies to some.

The legend went further, suggesting this “undroppable” culture is creating a toxic environment. Players who know they’re safe lose their edge, while those working hard in training feel there’s no path to break in. That kind of divide doesn’t build unity — it breeds frustration. He also accused Amorim of hiding behind excuses instead of making the tough decisions needed to fix the mess, insisting that United’s identity has shifted from merit to entitlement.

What makes his comments even more alarming is that Amorim himself has admitted things are going wrong. He confessed he was “embarrassed” by the team’s lack of urgency and admitted the club is “losing the feeling of being a massive club.” After another disappointing cup performance, he even said something had to change.

Critics outside the club aren’t holding back either. Joe Cole has described Amorim as “really stubborn,” while Wayne Rooney has openly said there’s “something broken” in the team under his leadership. Those kinds of warnings don’t come lightly.

The concern now is that this situation could become the moment everything either turns around or completely falls apart. If Amorim keeps relying on the same underperforming players, momentum could sink even further. Confidence will drop, rifts will grow, and belief in the manager could fade entirely. Once that happens, even new signings may start having second thoughts.

But there is still a way out. Dropping the out-of-form players, rewarding those who are hungry, and rebuilding a culture where every spot must be earned could turn things around. If Amorim backs these changes with real results, the atmosphere at Old Trafford could shift quickly. But if it’s just more talk without action, the situation might only worsen.

In the end, the legend’s warning wasn’t about one bad match — it was about a growing, self-inflicted crisis. And if Amorim doesn’t start shaking up his lineup and holding everyone to the same standard, the cracks inside Manchester United might soon become too big to ignore.
