The fallout from Manchester United’s crushing loss to Manchester City has taken a dramatic turn, with Sporting Director Jason Wilcox openly criticizing head coach Ruben Amorim. In a brutally honest message, Wilcox labeled Amorim a “baby coach” for his tactical approach and called him out for ignoring repeated warnings about a particular underperforming player.
“I warned him about this player, but he turned a deaf ear to me. Now you can all see the results,” Wilcox declared after the derby embarrassment, highlighting what many believe to be Amorim’s glaring mistake.
Wilcox’s comments have struck a chord with frustrated supporters, echoing the mood of the fanbase that has been demanding accountability for the team’s continued struggles.
Many now believe both Amorim and the underperforming player must shoulder the responsibility for the disastrous defeat, with growing doubts over the coach’s ability to lead the team through such high-pressure fixtures.
The harsh remarks add further tension to an already difficult moment for United, as the pressure mounts on Amorim to prove he is more than just a “rookie” at the top level. With the club still aiming to compete with Europe’s elite, questions are now being raised over whether United’s current leadership has what it takes to turn the tide.
