Amorim angrily berated Manchester United players in the dressing room, openly expressing his frustration and disappointment! Keane slammed the Red Devils as childish.

After losing 0-1 at home to a ten-man Everton, Manchester United faced another blow at Old Trafford, drawing 1-1 with West Ham United, who are in the relegation zone, resulting in two home games without victory. Manager Ruben Amorim vented his anger at the players in the dressing room and openly expressed his displeasure during the post-match press conference.

When asked about some controversial decisions regarding player selection and substitutions during the match, Amorim became visibly emotional, appearing displeased with the questions and showing clear impatience with the Manchester United players, stating their performances were unsatisfactory.

“I am disappointed and angry, that’s exactly how I feel,” Amorim said bluntly. “After scoring the first goal, we started losing protection over the second ball. The team wanted to extend the defensive line far from the goal, but the opponents used long passes and won the second ball from our three players. We should have performed better in the second half; the goal conceded was because of that second ball, and sometimes the opposition didn’t even have many players up front.”

Amorim added, “Our performance was really inconsistent. Look at that goal we conceded, it was also from a long pass. Everything was under our control, but we need to do better. I have always believed the team must score more goals, and I am firmly convinced of that.”

The Manchester United coach was especially frustrated about losing momentum after taking a 1-0 lead. “We should have controlled possession and secured the win; we had a great chance to win this match,” Amorim commented. “The overall performance wasn’t perfect, we had several chances, but there were moments of losing control in both halves. Particularly after scoring, we lost command of the game. Clearly, we should have won—Cunha had the chance to seal the match. The result is really disappointing, and if you watched the game, you’d see we dominated but still didn’t win.”

Amorim started 19-year-old English center-back Eden Haven, while Lenny Yaro was benched after a poor performance in the previous away match at Crystal Palace. However, Haven was substituted at halftime and Yaro returned to the pitch. Amorim explained the change was due to Haven receiving a yellow card for a foul on Bowen and appearing overwhelmed when marking veteran Callum Wilson, risking a red card.

“Of course, it was because of the yellow card,” Amorim explained. “We have been trying to press high, with one center-back marking the opponent’s striker, so any foul could result in a yellow card. Also, Eden had issues defending set pieces. You have to be smarter during the game.”

According to “Jingjiwang,” Amorim’s post-match reaction shocked those who know him, as this 40-year-old Portuguese coach usually remains silent immediately after matches, preferring to analyze the game more clearly the next day. But this time, he had reached his limit.

Legend Roy Keane was even harsher on Manchester United players, openly doubting their ability to help the club return to its peak and win titles. Before the West Ham match, a shocking statistic emerged: this season in the Premier League, the four full-backs starting for Manchester United—Diogo Dalot, Amad Diallo, Patrick Doğu, and Mazraoui—combined have only 1 goal and 3 assists.

Dalot later scored a goal, but collectively, the wing-backs’ stats only matched Crystal Palace’s right-back Daniel Muñoz, who alone contributed to 5 goals.

“I don’t have much confidence in Manchester United’s full-backs or midfielders defensively,” Keane said. “The attacking players have indeed improved the team’s threat this season, but I don’t expect much from these midfielders and defenders. I don’t think they are good enough to start regularly and contribute consistently for Manchester United. Muñoz is better than them and more suited to his role.”

Keane continued criticizing, “Looking at these Manchester United players, their defense is weak, and while their attacking ability is somewhat better, the offensive stats aren’t outstanding either. So Manchester United needs players better than those we’ve just mentioned. I don’t believe these players can lead Manchester United back to the top or compete for major trophies.”

Keane also named two attacking players, starting with striker Zirkzee. “Zirkzee finally scored against Crystal Palace, which should boost his confidence. But overall, his performance has been very poor. He often loses the ball without pressure. If he wants to stay at Manchester United, he must improve and maintain consistency. He hasn’t convinced me yet, and I don’t think he’s a qualified Manchester United striker.”

Mount was also questioned by Keane: “When you look at this Manchester United squad, considering the club’s financial investment, you see a lack of depth, especially in attack. Amorim could only rely on Mount to secure the win. Some players take a long time to find form, but he acts like a schoolboy! Manchester United needs players with presence. The current substitutes, if they bring any change at all, only lower the team’s level, just like tonight.”

Keane explained the source of his frustration: “You play for Manchester United because you have the ability to handle tough situations. You must find ways to win when leading relegation-threatened teams and beating a ten-man Everton. If you can’t handle those situations, how can you cope with the top teams? If they’re anxious, you naturally question why they play for Manchester United and what they’re afraid of. Afraid of West Ham? Why?”

Manchester United will have four days to regroup and aim for victory in their away match against Wolves. Wolves have only earned two points this season, potentially setting a new Premier League record for the lowest points total. Their key player, João Gomes, is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. However, Manchester United’s recent record against Wolves is inconsistent, having been swept by them twice last season.
