BREAKING NEWS: “We Really Love Ruben Amorim, But He’s Doing Two Things We Don’t Like, and We’re Exhausted” – Bruno Fernandes Opens Up on Manchester United’s Struggles Under Their New Manager.
In a shocking revelation, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has lifted the lid on the growing concerns inside the dressing room regarding new manager Ruben Amorim. While the Portuguese midfielder insists that the squad admires Amorim’s tactical intelligence and coaching ability, he has admitted that there are two key aspects of Amorim’s approach that the players are struggling to cope with—leaving them physically and mentally drained.
Since Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford, expectations have been high. The Sporting CP coach was seen as the man to finally restore United to their former glory, bringing with him a fresh tactical identity and a clear vision for the club. However, Fernandes’ latest comments suggest that the transition has been far from smooth, with the squad struggling to adapt to his intense demands.
Speaking candidly after Manchester United’s latest fixture, Fernandes addressed the difficulties the squad is facing under the new regime:
“We really love Ruben. He’s a great coach, and we can all see his ideas are good. But there are two things we don’t like, and honestly, we’re exhausted. It’s not easy adapting to everything at once.”
While Fernandes stopped short of openly criticizing Amorim, sources close to the squad suggest that one of the key issues is the manager’s relentless high-pressing system. Amorim is known for his aggressive pressing style, requiring players to maintain high energy levels throughout the 90 minutes. This has led to growing concerns over fatigue, with some players struggling to maintain peak performance week in and week out.
The second issue, though not directly mentioned by Fernandes, is believed to be Amorim’s rigorous tactical drills and demand for positional discipline. Unlike previous managers who allowed more freedom in attacking play, Amorim’s structured system leaves little room for improvisation. Some players feel restricted by the rigid style, while others are mentally drained by the constant tactical demands in training sessions.
United’s recent performances have been inconsistent, and Fernandes’ comments provide insight into why the squad might be struggling to execute Amorim’s philosophy on the pitch. Despite the challenges, Fernandes remains optimistic about the team’s future under Amorim.
“We know it takes time. We have to trust the process. But right now, we’re all feeling it—mentally and physically. We have to find a way to adapt.”
With pressure mounting and fatigue becoming a growing concern, Amorim now faces the challenge of managing player workload while ensuring his tactical vision is implemented effectively. If results don’t improve soon, the tension between the players and the manager could become a major issue at Old Trafford.
Will Amorim adjust his approach, or will United’s struggles continue? Only time will tell.
