The Ruben Amorim era at Manchester United has gotten off to a fiery and unexpected start, and it’s already stirring major drama behind the scenes.
According to recent reports, Amorim has reportedly lost his patience with one of the club’s recent big-name signings in a heated and emotional internal outburst that has now made its way into the media spotlight.
In what sources are calling one of the most intense behind-closed-doors moments at Carrington, Amorim allegedly lashed out during a private team meeting, calling one summer signing the “worst” of his entire managerial career.
His frustrations, said to have been building for weeks, finally reached a boiling point. “I’ve had enough,” he reportedly exclaimed.
“He needs to pack his bags before it’s too late. I regret ever signing him — the board forced this deal on me.”
The target of his frustration? None other than Mason Mount — the £55 million midfielder who arrived from Chelsea with high hopes, only to fall short of expectations.
Despite his reputation as a hardworking, technically gifted player, Mount has struggled to settle into life at Old Trafford.
Injuries, poor form, and tactical mismatches have plagued his United spell since the start, and now it appears he’s lost the faith of the new boss entirely.
Amorim, who made his name at Sporting Lisbon with a system based on high-intensity pressing, disciplined positioning, and fluid team play, is said to be extremely disappointed with Mount’s inability to adapt.
Sources within the club say Mount was given several chances to impress during training sessions and the early preseason fixtures, but failed to meet the standards expected by the Portuguese manager.
Insiders also reveal that Mount was never part of Amorim’s initial plans. The United board reportedly pressured him to integrate the England international into his project due to Mount’s hefty transfer fee and wages.
But just a few weeks into the new manager’s reign, that gamble seems to have backfired dramatically.
Amorim is believed to have made it clear to club officials that he wants Mount removed from the squad, potentially via a loan deal before the Premier League campaign kicks off.
The situation has reportedly shocked the dressing room. Several United players were left speechless by the outburst, which one source described as “the most emotional we’ve seen from Amorim so far.”
The message was loud and clear: no player, regardless of price tag or reputation, will be safe if they fail to match the manager’s vision.
Mount’s future at Manchester United now hangs in the balance. Unless there’s a dramatic turnaround, this could be the beginning of the end for his time at the club.
