“He got Erik ten Hag sacked and he’s now trying to replicate it with Amorim…I know Amorim defeated me many times but I don’t want him to fail so I have told him to remove that player”: Man City coach Pep Guardiola names ONE player Ruben Amorim must axed before he could succeed at Old Trafford HE WAS THE REASON WHY TEN HAG WAS SACKED 🤦
“He Got Ten Hag Fired—Now He’s Targeting Amorim? Guardiola Issues Surprising Warning About One Manchester United Star”
In a surprising turn of events, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has weighed in on Manchester United’s potential future under new coach Rúben Amorim—offering some blunt advice: drop Alejandro Garnacho.
According to reports, Guardiola allegedly warned Amorim that if he truly wants to succeed at Old Trafford, he must consider parting ways with Garnacho—one of United’s most talked-about young talents. While Guardiola admitted that Amorim has outwitted him several times in the past, he insists this isn’t about ego. “I want him to do well,” Guardiola said, “but that player might be a problem.”
Garnacho, while undeniably talented and full of raw pace, has been inconsistent. Guardiola, a master tactician, suggested the youngster hasn’t yet reached the mental and technical level required to thrive in a high-pressure environment like Manchester United. The sentiment isn’t necessarily meant as criticism—it’s more a reflection of the reality at top clubs: potential alone isn’t enough.
The young winger made waves early on with some dazzling performances, but his growth has seemingly stalled. Guardiola’s take is that Garnacho might be better off developing elsewhere, rather than becoming another player lost in the shuffle at a big club. He could benefit from regular starts and a fresh environment where expectations aren’t sky-high.
Amorim now faces a key decision. Should he keep Garnacho and try to mold him into a disciplined contributor, or use the funds from a possible transfer to bring in someone who better fits his tactical demands? Guardiola’s advice seems to favor the latter—especially if Amorim wants to fast-track United’s rebuild.
Interestingly, Guardiola isn’t trying to sabotage Amorim—far from it. There’s mutual respect between the two coaches, and Pep’s input may come from a desire to see stronger competition from United. His relationship with former manager Erik ten Hag, who struggled to fully harness Garnacho’s potential, adds another layer to the discussion.
With reports linking players like Eberechi Eze and Désiré Doué to United, the pressure is mounting. If Garnacho isn’t part of Amorim’s long-term blueprint, now might be the time to act.
In the end, this situation speaks volumes about the evolving dynamics in top-flight football. Coaches no longer have the luxury to wait years for players to “click.” Amorim must decide: gamble on Garnacho’s long-term promise, or cut ties and build a squad more suited to his pressing, structured approach.
