**BREAKING NEWS: Turmoil Erupts at Manchester United After Derby Humiliation**
Manchester United have been thrown into crisis following their humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Manchester City, with tensions inside the club reportedly boiling over. According to insider reports, Sporting Director voices within Old Trafford have turned their anger toward manager Ruben Amorim, accusing him of arrogance and of blatantly disregarding internal advice regarding Luke Shaw.
The Sporting Director’s criticism was said to be particularly scathing. He allegedly branded Amorim a “baby coach” for his handling of the game, insisting that he had already warned him about the dangers of starting Shaw in such a high-stakes clash. The fallout has not only highlighted fractures in the club’s leadership but has also cast fresh doubts on Amorim’s tactical awareness and willingness to take advice.
The focus of the storm is Luke Shaw, whose disastrous performance made him the weak link that City relentlessly exploited. From the very first whistle, Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden targeted United’s left flank, tearing through Shaw’s side of the defense with ease. Struggling to keep pace with City’s energy and creativity, Shaw was consistently exposed. It was no coincidence that Foden’s opening strike came from his area of the pitch, and moments later, Erling Haaland punished United twice more to seal a comprehensive victory.
Shaw’s poor showing has now made him the face of United’s derby collapse, sparking widespread debate about why Amorim chose to persist with him despite concerns about his form and match fitness. Many inside the club felt the risks were obvious, yet the Portuguese coach pressed ahead with his decision—an act many now see as sheer stubbornness.
Supporters were quick to express their fury across social media platforms. “Shaw has been finished for weeks. Why play him in the biggest game of the season?” one fan fumed. Another supporter echoed the Sporting Director’s comments, writing: “Baby coach indeed. Pep Guardiola knew where to hit us, and Amorim stood there clueless.” A third supporter was even harsher: “If the Sporting Director warned him and he ignored it, there’s no excuse. He’s destroying us with his ego.”
The consequences of the defeat go beyond just local bragging rights. United are now enduring their worst start to a Premier League campaign since the 1992/93 season, with only four points taken from their opening four matches. The pressure mounting on Amorim is intensifying rapidly. His judgment—especially his insistence on sticking with underperforming players like Shaw—has become a central point of concern.
The message echoing around Old Trafford is clear: if Amorim refuses to listen to advice and continues with questionable team selections, his tenure as Manchester United boss could collapse far faster than anyone expected.
