Following Manchester United’s 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park, a club legend has launched a harsh critique of manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical decisions. The former United star, whose identity has not been disclosed, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the direction the team is taking under Amorim’s leadership.
In a scathing assessment, the ex-player did not mince words when evaluating the Portuguese manager’s performance, going as far as to compare him unfavorably to former United boss David Moyes. “Amorim should be learning from Moyes—a manager who didn’t need an entire season to prove he was capable! And yet, here we are, watching a manager who looks completely lost. He seems unsure of his vision for this team, uncertain about his tactics, and utterly unprepared for the challenge of leading Manchester United,” the club legend reportedly stated.
His frustration did not stop there. He described the team’s display against Everton as nothing short of disastrous, arguing that the players appeared confused and lacked any clear structure or game plan. “What we witnessed on that pitch was chaos! No organization, no identity—just a side that looked like it had no idea what it was doing. If this trend continues, United won’t just miss out on European qualification; they could find themselves battling relegation! The situation needs to be addressed immediately before it spirals out of control,” he warned.
The match itself was a rollercoaster, with Everton initially dominating proceedings. The home side took a comfortable 2-0 lead in the first half, thanks to goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucouré. Manchester United, on the other hand, looked completely out of sorts, struggling to find any rhythm or control in the game. Their lack of cohesion was evident, as they failed to create significant chances and seemed overwhelmed by Everton’s intensity and physicality.
It wasn’t until the second half that United showed signs of life. Captain Bruno Fernandes managed to pull one back with a well-placed free-kick, giving his team a glimmer of hope. Later, Manuel Ugarte found the back of the net to bring the Red Devils level. Despite their late resurgence and the fact that they salvaged a point from the encounter, the overall performance left many questioning the team’s tactical discipline and level of preparedness under Amorim.
This latest criticism adds to the growing scrutiny surrounding Amorim’s tenure, with many now wondering whether he is the right man to take the club forward. If United’s struggles continue, pressure on the manager will only intensify, making the coming weeks crucial for both his reputation and the team’s future.
