Before the fans start criticizing me, I want them to hear me out. I don’t think it’s time to let him go just yet. Despite the result of today’s game that ended 2-1 to Man Utd victory, his performance showed promise, and I believe he deserves more time,” Ruben Amorim stated openly after the match between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Following Manchester United’s hard-fought 2-1 win over Manchester City, manager Ruben Amorim has publicly supported a player who has been under intense criticism from fans.

In his post-match interview, Amorim candidly called on supporters to be patient with the player, highlighting that, despite the loss, his performance displayed improvement and potential.

The game, held at Old Trafford, was a closely contested match. Goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes secured United’s victory, with City’s only goal coming from Julian Alvarez.

Although the win boosted United’s league position, attention shifted to Amorim’s strong defense of the unnamed player, who has been the target of fan criticism, with some hoping for his departure from the club.

“Before the fans start criticizing me, I want them to hear me out,” Amorim stated in the post-match press conference. “I don’t think it’s time to let him go just yet.

Despite today’s result, his performance showed promise, and I believe he deserves more time. We are working on specific areas where he can improve, and I have faith in his ability to contribute to this team.”

Amorim’s comments come at a time when the player has faced consistent pressure for underwhelming performances and a perceived lack of impact in key matches.

Fans have voiced their frustrations on social media, with many urging the club to sell the player in the upcoming transfer window.

However, Amorim’s decision to stand by him reflects his commitment to developing talent and offering players the chance to prove themselves.

The Portuguese manager also stressed the importance of patience in player development. “Every player has ups and downs, especially when the expectations are high.

It’s my job to help him reach his potential, and I believe he’s on the right path. Criticism is part of football, but it’s important to support players when they’re working hard to improve.”

Amorim’s comments have sparked mixed reactions from Manchester United fans.

While some appreciated his confidence in the player, others expressed doubt. One fan wrote on Twitter, “I admire Amorim for defending his players, but this has gone on for too long.

We need results, not promises.” Another responded, “The manager sees what we don’t. If Amorim believes in him, maybe we should too.”

As United prepare for their next match, the player will likely face continued scrutiny. Amorim’s unwavering support, however, sends a clear message: he is not ready to give up on his players, even under intense pressure.

Whether this decision pays off is yet to be seen, but it highlights Amorim’s long-term vision and belief in building a strong, unified team.
