BREAKING NEWS🚨 “I am absolutely disappointed by this decision… Ruben Amorim is making a HUGE mistake with Manchester United’s £74m star,” blasts Andy Gray after Fulham draw!
The pressure at Old Trafford is reaching boiling point after Manchester United’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham on Sunday, and now legendary pundit Andy Gray has openly criticised manager Ruben Amorim for his controversial team selection.
Not only did captain Bruno Fernandes miss a crucial penalty that could have sealed all three points, but Amorim once again left Benjamin Sesko – the £74 million summer signing – on the bench. The decision has sparked outrage among fans and pundits alike, with many questioning why the Slovenian striker continues to be overlooked despite United’s clear struggles in front of goal.
Speaking after the match, Gray did not hold back. “I am absolutely disappointed by this decision. Ruben Amorim is making a HUGE mistake with Manchester United’s £74m star. If you’re a United fan, you want Sesko up there. I just don’t get it. He was signed to make a difference, and yet he’s sitting on the bench when the team clearly needs a focal point in attack.”
United’s winless run in the league has now extended further, piling more pressure on Amorim’s shoulders as questions grow louder about his tactical choices. For many supporters, the issue is simple – the team is lacking a clinical presence up front, and Sesko was brought in precisely to solve that problem. Yet, match after match, he finds himself watching from the sidelines while United struggle to turn dominance into goals.
On social media, frustration boiled over instantly. Fans demanded answers, with one writing: “What’s the point of spending £74m on Sesko if Amorim refuses to play him?!” Another fumed: “This is becoming ridiculous – Sesko has to start, otherwise we’ll keep dropping points.”
The pressure is now firmly on Ruben Amorim. With United failing to win games they should be winning, and with Sesko still not trusted to lead the line, pundits and fans alike are calling for immediate change. If things don’t turn around quickly, the decision to sideline their marquee signing could become one of the defining controversies of United’s season.
