A storm is brewing in the football world as Manchester United manager,
Ruben Amorim, has publicly expressed his fury and frustration over Arsenal’s latest transfer maneuver one that he claims has crossed the line.
Speaking to the media in an intense and visibly emotional press conference, Amorim recalled a previous incident that still stings. He referenced how Arsenal successfully hijacked United’s pursuit of star striker Viktor Gyökeres, leaving the Red Devils empty-handed despite weeks of negotiations. According to him, United “swallowed the disappointment” back then and chose to move on without creating controversy.
However, this time, Amorim has made it clear his patience has reached its limit. The Portuguese coach revealed that United were deep in talks for a certain £60 million-rated player, one he considers a key part of his rebuilding project at Old Trafford.
To his shock and dismay, the player has reportedly made the decision to join Arsenal instead.
Amorim did not hold back when addressing the matter:
“When they hijacked our deal for Gyökeres, we stayed quiet and took it on the chin. But if Arsenal think they can do the same thing with this player, they are mistaken. If they try to proceed with this signing under these circumstances, we will have no choice but to report them to FIFA.”
His strong words have sent shockwaves across the Premier League and football media, hinting at potential legal and regulatory battles between two of England’s biggest clubs. While he did not explicitly name the player, insiders claim it is a high-profile target who has been on United’s radar for months.
This bold warning from Amorim suggests that Manchester United believe Arsenal’s approach may be breaching certain transfer negotiation protocols, possibly involving direct contact with the player before official permission was granted.
If Arsenal go ahead and seal the deal, this could spark one of the most heated transfer disputes in recent memory, with FIFA potentially stepping in to investigate.
For now, the football world waits with bated breath:
Will Arsenal risk the wrath of Old Trafford to get their man?
Will United actually follow through with their threat to escalate matters to FIFA?
And just who is the £60m player at the heart of this drama?
One thing is certain the Arsenal vs. Manchester United rivalry has just been taken to another level, and the summer transfer window has suddenly become even more explosive.
