Ruben Amorim
December 2025
Manchester United squandered a chance to climb into the Premier League’s top five by drawing 1-1 at home to struggling West Ham, with Ruben Amorim again leaving Kobbie Mainoo unused as United laboured creatively and conceded a late equaliser after Diogo Dalot’s opener. Pressed on Mainoo’s absence, Amorim bristled, insisting he is tired of repeated questions, that England starts do not dictate his selections and he simply chooses the “best players”, refusing to guarantee more minutes even when AFCON absences may open space in his midfield.
