Amorim's Steel Message

The closed-door meeting at Carrington showed Ruben Amorim was ready to take on every star. From Garnacho to Ugarte, no one was exempt as the Portuguese coach insisted: only those who still had the hunger deserved to stay at Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim is known to be straightforward.

Ruben Amorim is known for his outspokenness. Internal meetings at Carrington have shown he is not afraid to clash to reignite the competitive spirit in the dressing room.

According to sources from England, Amorim told Alejandro Garnacho directly that he needed “a better agent”, a message not only about image management, but also about the behavior of a player who wants to reach stardom.

It wasn’t just Garnacho, there were also a few other names mentioned. Most notably Manuel Ugarte. Amorim had once considered the Uruguayan midfielder a model student at Sporting, but now he was disappointed to see him lose his ambition. In Amorim’s eyes, Ugarte “is no longer the player I knew”, a cold comment but an accurate reflection of his decline since the start of the season.

Amorim knew that to rebuild Manchester United, he needed more than just big names. He needed players with the spirit of Kobbie Mainoo or Matheus Cunha, who fought every minute and were ready to learn. That meeting, according to many, was not just a personal reminder but a declaration of discipline and work attitude.

At Old Trafford, Amorim is not looking for comfort. He is trying to recreate the winning DNA by awakening the players' self-esteem. And sometimes, to rebuild a great team, the first thing to do is to destroy the illusion that many stars have wrapped themselves in.
