Ruben Amorim blasted his Man Utd squad after they let a late lead vanish against West Ham.
United Lose Grip When It Matters
This was a night where Man United had the match under control against West Ham. But, somehow failed to turn that into the result they needed. Diogo Dalot’s strike in the second half should have set them up for a strong finish. The rhythm was there, the crowd sensed a second goal, and West Ham looked stretched.
Instead of tightening their hold, Utd drifted. They slowed the tempo, stopped pressing with intent, and allowed West Ham to creep back into the contest.
When Magassa found the equaliser off a corner, it felt like the kind of moment that summed up Utd’s season. A simple set piece, poorly defended, and all the energy inside Old Trafford dropped in an instant.
Head coach Ruben Amorim didn’t hide his frustration. His tone after the match made it clear he expected far better game management from his group.
Ruben Amorim Slowly Losing His Patience
Amorim is running out of excuses for his team. He walked into the press room looking unhappy of repeating the same concerns. He spoke about controlling the ball, closing the match, and showing maturity in the final stretch. It wasn’t just the dropped points that upset him, but the familiar pattern behind it.
The Utd boss said: “Frustrated, angry, that is it.
“We should have closed the game with the ball because the game was there to win.”
Amorim didn’t name names, but the message was sharp: this level of carelessness won’t cut it if the club wants to climb. His reaction hinted at deeper issues he expects his players to fix quickly.
Author’s Opinion:
United can’t keep wasting good positions and blaming bad luck. Amorim is right to demand more. Until this team learns how to finish games, their push up the table will stay stuck in neutral.
