Live from Old Trafford, the Manchester Derby has sparked not just disappointment but also outrage inside the Manchester United dressing room. After United’s crushing defeat to Manchester City, striker Benjamin Šeško has reportedly launched a furious tirade against head coach Ruben Amorim, blaming him for the tactical disaster.

Šeško Points the Finger at Amorim

The striker’s frustration was clear in his post-match outburst. He said:

“He’s to be blamed from the first whistle to the very last—this defeat is on him. I begged him to start Kobbie Mainoo alongside me because we’ve built a solid understanding on the pitch, but he refused. Now I’m beginning to regret making the move to Manchester United. How can you have a player like Mainoo and still decide to bench him? It makes no sense—this is pure madness and it’s killing us.”

His words highlight the growing tension within the squad, as United’s season threatens to spiral out of control.

Mainoo Snub Sparks Backlash

Šeško is not alone in his frustration. Fans have also erupted on social media, furious at Amorim’s decision to bench Kobbie Mainoo, one of the club’s brightest young talents.

One supporter wrote: “Tell him again—how can you keep Mainoo on the bench against Manchester City? It’s unthinkable.” Another added: “Amorim bottled it. Mainoo is the future of this midfield, and he still chose to leave him out. Madness!”

Pressure Mounting on Amorim

This latest defeat marks one of United’s lowest points of the season. For many fans, the lack of tactical clarity and bold decisions from Amorim are raising serious doubts. Critics argue that without immediate changes, the Portuguese coach risks losing both the dressing room and the faith of supporters.

As the fallout grows, one question now dominates: Can Ruben Amorim turn this around—or has the pressure of Old Trafford already become too heavy?
