""Ruben Amorim had an excuse last year, this summer he had everything, Scholes said. "[He] had an excuse last year, he couldn't train well, he could train, but every three days they had a game. "This summer he had everything, they spent 200 million, there have been three weeks between some games, everything he could have wanted to get his style across. [Manchester] United have got to win games of football.""
""It has been reported by various national newspapers that Amorim fell out with director of football Jason Wilcox in an explosive meeting prior to the score-draw at Elland Road, after which Amorim spoke out against the club hierarchy. This outburst proved to be the final straw for Manchester United's decision-makers, who announced Amorim's removal the following morning.""
Ruben Amorim was sacked as Manchester United head coach on January 5 after a post-match press conference outburst and a reported bust-up with club officials. His tenure lasted 14 months. United finished 15th in the Premier League in 2024/25 and lost the UEFA Europa League Final to Tottenham Hotspur. The squad invested about £200 million in the summer, giving Amorim time and resources to implement his style. Paul Scholes publicly questioned Amorim's progress and readiness despite the transfer spending. Amorim avoided defeat in seven of his final eight matches, but a relationship breakdown with Old Trafford higher-ups cost him his job.
