“Sell Him or I’m Gone”: Ruben Amorim Issues Stern Warning After United Loss to Wolves
New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has set a firm tone just weeks into his tenure, issuing a strong ultimatum after the team’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Wolves. Visibly upset, Amorim didn’t hold back in his post-match comments.
“Either he’s sold, or I walk. I won’t coach a player who performs this poorly,” Amorim said, according to reports.
Although he didn’t reveal the player’s identity in public, sources inside the club confirmed that he was referring to Mason Mount. Mount drew criticism for his failure to defend during the key play that led to Wolves’ winning goal, adding to a string of underwhelming performances.
Inside reports say Amorim confronted Mount directly after the match, questioning his commitment and mentality. Amorim stressed that he is trying to build a team defined by hunger, discipline, and drive—and that players lacking those qualities have no place under his leadership.
Mount, who transferred from Chelsea last season with high expectations, has struggled to make a consistent impact. Now, with fan frustration mounting, support for Amorim is growing. Hashtags like #SellMountNow and #InAmorimWeTrust have trended online, as fans rally behind the manager’s tough stance.
With the summer transfer window approaching, the pressure is now on United’s leadership: stand by Amorim or risk further instability in yet another rebuilding phase.
