A dramatic and unexpected twist has rocked Manchester United’s pre-season preparations under new boss Rúben Amorim, as reports from Old Trafford confirm that a first-team player is set to be BANNED from the senior dressing room — and the reason has left fans speechless.

The unnamed player, who was involved with the senior squad last season, has now been officially removed from the first-team dressing room and informed he will not be part of the main squad environment this season. But contrary to speculation about off-field issues or fitness concerns, the truth is even more brutal — he has been deemed surplus to requirements under Amorim’s new regime.

Since taking over at Old Trafford, Amorim has implemented a bold and ruthless squad policy, aiming to reshape the culture at the club and build a tighter, more unified core of players fully aligned with his tactical and disciplinary demands. As part of this cultural reset, players not in the manager’s immediate plans have been moved to a separate dressing room, away from the main group.

“He won’t be able to sit with his teammates. He won’t change beside them. There’s nothing they can do about it,” one insider told us. “Amorim wants total clarity — if you’re not in his plans, you won’t pretend to be part of the group.”

The player is said to be devastated, having not expected such a cold and public demotion. While his identity is being withheld for now, fans are already speculating — with several fringe players and underperformers under the spotlight.

With the new season just weeks away, one thing is clear: Rúben Amorim is not here to play games. His Manchester United will be built on discipline, clarity, and ruthless standards.
