Former Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has stepped forward to defend under-fire manager Ruben Amorim, insisting that the coach is not the root cause of the club’s problems. Instead, Scholes pointed directly at a specific player within the squad, accusing him of being the one responsible for damaging United’s reputation and holding the team back.
“Ruben Amorim is not the problem of this team. I don’t know why people find it so difficult to believe. The truth is, there’s a particular player in this squad who is destroying the club,” Scholes revealed, making it clear that fans and pundits have been focusing their anger in the wrong direction.
Scholes went further, expressing his frustration at how costly this player has been over the course of the season. “Only God knows how many times he has cost us already. It’s heartbreaking to watch,” he admitted, echoing the same sentiments many supporters have been voicing in recent weeks.
The comments have reignited debates among fans over who the real weak link in the squad is, with many demanding accountability and tougher decisions from both Amorim and the board. For Scholes, the solution lies not in replacing the manager, but in removing the negative influence of one player who continues to undermine the club’s ambitions.
