BREAKING NEWS: Pep Guardiola Issues Stark Warning to Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim Over Player Selection.

In a bold and unexpected move, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has publicly criticized Manchester United’s handling of a key player, warning current manager Ruben Amorim against repeating what he perceives as a critical error made by former United boss Erik ten Hag.

Guardiola’s comments come in the wake of United’s recent Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, a loss that has intensified scrutiny on Amorim’s tactical decisions. The City manager expressed concern over the deployment of a specific player in a role he deems unsuitable, stating, “I warned Erik ten Hag about this player, told him to bench him—but he didn’t listen, and look where it got him: sacked. Now Amorim has just made the same mistake, and I’m here to warn him too: get him out if you survive till next season.”

While Guardiola did not name the player directly, reports suggest that the individual in question is Alejandro Garnacho. The young Argentine has been utilized in various positions, including as a number ten, a role some critics argue does not play to his strengths. Guardiola’s assertion, “I DON’T SIGN THESE TYPES OF PLAYERS,” underscores his belief that certain player profiles may not align with the demands of top-tier football.

This public admonition highlights the challenges facing Amorim as he seeks to rebuild a United squad that has struggled for consistency. Despite a disappointing domestic campaign, Amorim retains the backing of the club’s hierarchy, who are reportedly prepared to invest over £100 million in the summer transfer window to support his vision (theguardian.com).

Guardiola’s intervention adds pressure on Amorim to reassess his tactical approach and player utilization. As United aim to return to their former glory, the decisions made in the coming months will be critical in determining the club’s trajectory.

For now, all eyes are on Old Trafford to see how Amorim responds to Guardiola’s stark warning and whether changes will be made to address the concerns raised.
