I’ll resign next week since they have refused to sell him”: Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim says he’s ready to resign because of ONE particular player who always let the team down when it matters. RUBEN HAS DECIDED TO STEP DOWM JUST BECAUSE OF ONE PLAYER.
Rúben Amorim Drops the Hammer: Manchester United Star Suspended After Dismal Showing vs Newcastle
Manchester United’s struggles have reached boiling point once again — and this time, Rúben Amorim is making his stance clear. After a devastating 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United, the newly appointed manager has taken decisive action by suspending a player whose performance left fans furious.
Speaking after the match, an irate Amorim didn’t mince words:
“He won’t feature against Lyon. What I saw from him today in front of our home supporters was unacceptable. He’s suspended until further notice,” he declared.
Although Amorim did not reveal the player’s identity, sources within the club have confirmed that Victor Lindelöf is the one facing the axe. His defensive showing was widely criticized as one of the poorest in recent memory — a culmination of poor positioning, sluggish reactions, and communication breakdowns that allowed Newcastle to dismantle United’s backline with ease.
A Defensive Collapse on Display
Already reeling from a series of poor results, United needed a strong response against Newcastle. Instead, they served up more chaos — and Lindelöf was at the heart of it. Unable to keep up with the pace and movement of players like Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon, the Swede looked completely out of his depth, allowing Newcastle to find space and punish United repeatedly.
It wasn’t just a bad game — it was a reflection of deeper issues, including mental errors and lack of leadership. And Amorim clearly had enough.
Setting the Tone: Amorim’s Zero-Tolerance Approach
Still settling into life at Old Trafford, Amorim has made it clear that complacency and underperformance will not be tolerated.
“It’s not just about how you play — it’s your attitude, your discipline, and your commitment. If you can’t rise to the occasion or honor the badge in front of these fans, you won’t be on the pitch,” he said.
The decision to suspend Lindelöf sends a powerful message: under Amorim, no one is immune. Seniority or experience won’t shield players from consequences.
Supporters Back the Bold Move
The reaction online was swift and mostly supportive. Fans praised Amorim’s courage to make such a bold call.
“Finally, someone willing to hold players accountable,” one fan wrote on social media. “This should’ve happened long ago.”
Eyes on Lyon – A New Look Defense Ahead
With an important European fixture against Lyon on the horizon, changes are expected at the back. Amorim is reportedly open to drafting in academy talent or reshuffling his lineup to reward players who show hunger and dedication. There’s talk that youngsters like Willy Kambwala might be in line for an opportunity, or the club could expedite moves for potential signings like Matthijs de Ligt.
Whether this disciplinary move will spark a turnaround remains to be seen — but it’s evident that Amorim is here to rebuild not just the squad, but the standards.
One thing is certain: the era of comfort zones at Manchester United is over. Perform or step aside.
