For weeks now, the atmosphere at Manchester United has been tense. Uncertainty over the future of the bench has raised suspicions within the dressing room and among the supporters. The defeat in the Europa League final hit a team already weakened by an inconsistent season. The lack of consistency in the Premier League compounded the sense of collapse. Amid the pressure, many expected the board to make a U-turn, but no official announcement came. In the meantime, rumours grew and decisions began to flow from within, not from the top of the club.
Ruben Amorim has informed Manchester United player to find a new club this summer
According to The Daily Star, Ruben Amorim has already told Manchester United players that he will remain in charge next season. The media claims that the talk took place at Carrington on Saturday, shortly after the final loss. The Athletic adds that the Portuguese coach informed Alejandro Garnacho that he will have to look for a new team. This decision was reportedly made based on his recent performance and his behaviour after the European stumble. Although the club has not issued a statement, the leaks seem to point to a quiet but firm change.
This double announcement paints a new scenario. Amorim, despite criticism and lack of results, is clinging on to the job. His continuity can be seen as a bid for stability, even if the numbers do not fully support him. Perhaps, from within, they perceive that to change coach again would be to repeat recent mistakes. Keeping someone who already knows the group can save time. But that same continuity also exposes the club to attrition if the next start is poor. Fans, many of them resigned, will be demanding answers soon.
Alejandro Garnacho told he can leave Manchester United this summer.
Why has Ruben Amorim instructed Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho to find a new club this summer, and what does this mean for the young winger’s future?

As for Garnacho, the story takes a different turn. His departure seems a direct consequence of his statements after the lost final. Openly criticising the team can come at a high price in an institution with such a media spotlight. And while his talent is undeniable, Garnacho’s recent attitude shows a disconnect with the group. Amorim, who has already had trouble uniting a fragmented dressing room, probably sees his departure as a way to clear the air. Selling him now could benefit the club financially and in sporting terms, provided they manage to replace him with a committed profile.
However, there is another reading. Perhaps Garnacho did not criticise on a whim. Perhaps he expressed something that many people think and do not dare to say. In that case, getting rid of him would be putting out the alarm without checking the fire. If the malaise is deeper, selling the Argentine will not solve anything. Amorim may gain momentary peace, but he will lose a player who, well guided, could make a difference. This episode reflects a disconnect between internal discourses and the emotions of young footballers.
