BREAKING NEWS‼️: Nemanja Vidić slams Ruben Amorim’s tactics after United’s poor display – “The same mistakes that ended Ten Hag’s career are happening again”
Manchester United’s turbulent season has just taken another dramatic twist as club legend Nemanja Vidić has publicly questioned head coach Ruben Amorim following yet another underwhelming performance. The Red Devils, already under heavy scrutiny after their defeat to Arsenal last week, produced another disappointing display today, prompting the Serbian icon to deliver a brutally honest assessment of Amorim’s tactical decisions.
Vidić, who captained United to multiple Premier League titles during Sir Alex Ferguson’s golden era, did not hold back in his post-match reaction. He singled out Amorim’s insistence on starting a particular player — the same one who struggled miserably against Arsenal — as a sign of poor judgment.
“After his disgraceful performance today, I really have to question Amorim’s tactics,” Vidić said sharply. “He’s still making the same mistake he made last season, which led him to finish 15th in the league and lose the Europa League. After what we saw against Arsenal, you still started him again today, only for him to embarrass you and the whole team once more.”
The former United captain’s comments immediately sent shockwaves across social media, with fans both applauding and debating his honesty. Many supporters believe Vidić has echoed their exact frustrations, as Manchester United continue to repeat the same defensive errors and lack of tactical discipline that haunted them under Erik ten Hag.
“This is the identical error that caused Ten Hag’s Manchester United career to end,” Vidić added. “When a player has proven he cannot handle the pressure at this level, you don’t keep rewarding him with starts. It is unfair to the club, unfair to the fans, and damaging to the team’s progress.”
United’s defeat today has once again raised serious questions about Amorim’s ability to steady the ship at Old Trafford. While the Portuguese coach was brought in with high expectations and a reputation for tactical innovation, critics are beginning to argue that he has not learned quickly enough from his mistakes in English football. The decision to field the same underperforming player who was already exposed against Arsenal appears to have confirmed those fears.
Fans inside Old Trafford were visibly frustrated as errors piled up on the pitch, with chants of discontent echoing through the stands. Social media exploded after Vidić’s comments, with hashtags such as #AmorimOut and #ListenToVidic trending within minutes of his statement going public.
Despite the criticism, Ruben Amorim is said to remain defiant. Sources close to the United boss insist that he believes in the player’s potential and wants to give him the chance to prove himself. However, Vidić and a growing number of supporters see this loyalty as misplaced and damaging to United’s ambitions this season.
As the club prepares for its next fixture, all eyes will be on Amorim’s team selection. Will he stick with the player who continues to divide opinion, or will he finally listen to the warnings of legends like Vidić and shake things up before it is too late?
One thing is certain: Manchester United cannot afford to keep repeating the same costly mistakes. The shadow of Erik ten Hag’s failed tenure still looms large over Old Trafford, and Ruben Amorim now finds himself dangerously close to falling into the very same trap.
