Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend, harshly criticizes Ruben Amorim for failing the Manchester United DNA test, stating clearly from day one that he is not the right person.
On 31 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend, could no longer hold back and criticized Ruben Amorim after the "Red Devils" ended the old year and welcomed the new year by sharing points with Wolverhampton, drawing 1-1 at home in the Premier League last night.
"I don't think this manager (Amorim) understands this club at all. I don't think he is the right person for the job," said the former England midfielder.
"Manchester United is about risk and entertainment above all else. Fans should be on the edge of their seats. Wingers should dribble past opponents, score goals, and show skill. But there's nothing of that here."
"We've talked about this before. This is a different club now. They have Omar Barrada and Jason Wilcox, who are probably very good at their jobs and what they've done," "But they are not United. They don't understand what it means to sign a Manchester United player or bring in a Manchester United manager."
He also emphasized that Amorim's attempt to use a three-man defense should have been a warning from the start that he is unsuitable for the role. "If you go to Sporting Lisbon and watch their games, they play with three at the back. Suddenly, it should be a no-go. United have never done that. They can't do that." "This has been proven for years, even before Sir Alex Ferguson. The system was always 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2. It's about entertaining people, but he doesn't have that in him at all."
