Not Just Garnacho: Manuel Ugarte Also Faces Public Criticism from Ruben Amorim
Ruben Amorim, who was recently named Premier League Manager of the Month for October, has a reputation for being strict and straightforward in his management style. The Manchester United manager doesn’t shy away from giving honest, sometimes harsh feedback, even in front of the entire squad.
Following Manchester United’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham, Amorim’s relationship with Alejandro Garnacho reportedly suffered after he publicly highlighted the young player’s mistakes during the post-match review. However, Garnacho wasn’t the only player under scrutiny. Manuel Ugarte also came in for criticism, with Amorim reportedly telling him that he no longer recognized the player he once coached at Sporting.
Amorim prefers addressing players in group settings rather than private one-on-one meetings, believing that open critique fosters accountability and upholds high standards within the team. While his methods might not appeal to everyone, insiders suggest that his no-nonsense approach is already showing results at Old Trafford.
Fans on social media have had mixed reactions. Some praised Amorim’s transparency and believe that public feedback is more effective than private criticism, while others highlighted that players like Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes have previously responded positively to such tough love, improving.
