Manchester United’s struggles this season have reached a breaking point, with tensions inside the dressing room growing more intense by the day. The latest development has seen club captain Bruno Fernandes reportedly issue an ultimatum to manager Ruben Amorim, demanding that a decision be made regarding a teammate whom he believes is responsible for the team’s ongoing poor performances.
Following United’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Everton, Fernandes, who has built a reputation for his leadership and passion on the pitch, finally voiced his frustrations in a post-match confrontation. According to reports, the Portuguese midfielder directly approached Amorim in the locker room, making it clear that the current situation was no longer sustainable.
Dressing room tensions at Old Trafford have been brewing for weeks as the club continues to struggle in the Premier League. Despite glimpses of improvement, United has failed to maintain consistency, and the results have left both fans and players frustrated. The pressure on the team has only intensified, and it appears that Fernandes, as captain, could no longer remain silent.
Sources suggest that after the Everton match, an emotional Fernandes addressed Amorim, expressing his deep concerns over a particular teammate’s impact on the squad. He reportedly stated that the player in question has become a major factor in the team’s disappointing form and that a decision needs to be made regarding his future at the club.
“As captain, I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but it has become too much to handle,” Fernandes reportedly admitted. “He has to leave the club. Amorim has to decide—either him or me.”
Fernandes’ strong words suggest that the issue has reached a point where coexistence in the same squad is no longer feasible. While the identity of the teammate remains unclear, it is evident that internal conflicts are further exacerbating Manchester United’s already difficult season.
Amorim now faces a major test of his leadership, as he must navigate the growing tensions within the squad while attempting to improve performances on the pitch. If Fernandes’ ultimatum is indeed legitimate, it places immense pressure on the manager to take decisive action before the situation spirals further out of control.
With the club already under scrutiny for its struggles this season, this latest controversy only adds to the challenges that United must overcome. Whether Amorim will address the issue publicly or handle it behind closed doors remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Manchester United’s turmoil is far from over.
