"The United boss last week said Harry Amass was "struggling" at Sheffield Wednesday, bottom of the Championship, and pointed out that Chido Obi was not always a starter in United's under-21s. The 18-year-olds both uploaded and subsequently deleted Instagram story posts. Amass posted a photo of himself holding the Sheffield Wednesday's player of the month award for November with a grinning emoji. Obi's post showed him with arms out celebrating a goal for the Under-21s against Manchester City in August."
""I think it's a little bit the feeling of entitlement that we have in our club," the Portuguese said when asked if he had seen the posts. "Sometimes strong words are not bad words. Sometimes difficult moments are not bad things for the kids. We don't need to be always with accolades in everything, in every situation." The United boss called for a change of culture at the club, who are sixth in the Premier League ahead of Monday's visit to high-flying Aston Villa."
Provocative Instagram stories from two 18-year-old Manchester United academy players were uploaded and then deleted, drawing criticism. One post showed Harry Amass holding a Sheffield Wednesday player-of-the-month award while another showed Chido Obi celebrating an Under-21s goal. The club highlighted a prevailing feeling of entitlement among young players and urged a cultural shift. Strong words and difficult moments were framed as potentially beneficial for development rather than solely negative. The club stressed the need to remember what it means to represent Manchester United and offered open-door conversations, though no players had come forward.
