Gary Neville, the famous football pundit, has spoken about Ruben Amorim after the Portuguese coach erupted in anger at Manchester United executives due to two main issues.
On 5 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Gary Neville, the legendary former right-back of England's Three Lions and well-known football pundit, spoke about Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese coach, following his angry outburst at Manchester United's senior management over two main factors: the playing system and the team's transfer activity this month.
Neville said, "It's quite clear that something is bothering him mentally. I think he feels unsupported. Over time, this has come to the surface. He mentioned that he took on the role of manager, although when announced, he was referred to as head coach. Nowadays, there are hardly any managers because that role implies more authority beyond the pitch. It includes control over transfer decisions, playing philosophy, the youth system, and more."
"But I think Ruben Amorim is sincere. He is clear and firm in what he says. He speaks about what he experiences and what he thinks. That's his true character, and I believe he should continue like this. However, right now, it seems he is pointing fingers at the senior executives, which normally comes with unavoidable pressure."
