The relationship between a Manchester United player and Ruben Amorim has reached its lowest point following the draw with Liverpool.
Ruben Amorim’s relationship with one Manchester United player has reportedly reached a breaking point following the team’s 2-2 draw at Anfield.
United ended their streak of four consecutive losses with a hard-fought draw against league leaders Liverpool. Amorim’s side showed significant improvement, even taking the lead through a stunning goal from Lisandro Martinez. However, Liverpool responded with an equalizer from Cody Gakpo and a penalty by Mo Salah, seizing control of the match.
Despite falling behind, United continued to create problems for Arne Slot’s team, eventually leveling the score through Amad Diallo, who once again haunted Liverpool after his FA Cup heroics. In the dying moments, Harry Maguire squandered a golden chance to secure victory, sending a close-range effort into the stands.
Amid the improved team performance, Amorim’s relationship with Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly deteriorated completely. According to Corriere dello Sport, Amorim is determined to sell the Dutch striker, whose future may lie in Serie A, with Juventus expressing interest. However, Juventus would prefer a loan deal, while United want a permanent transfer.
Although Zirkzee has outscored Rasmus Hojlund with three goals in fewer minutes this season, Amorim seems to favor the Danish forward’s style of play. Tensions reached a boiling point recently when Zirkzee was substituted after just 30 minutes during a match against Newcastle, eliciting boos and jeers from United fans. The incident visibly upset Zirkzee, who stormed off the pitch in tears, prompting Gary Neville to express sympathy during his commentary.
“I genuinely feel for Joshua Zirkzee,” Neville remarked on Sky Sports. “Yes, he’s earning a lot, but he’s also a human being. To be cheered off by your own supporters—it’s harsh. I’ve rarely seen anything like it in over four decades of coming to Old T
rafford.”
