Old Trafford has once again become a hotspot for debate after Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidić publicly questioned manager Ruben Amorim’s decision-making, particularly his choice to keep Benjamin Šeško on the sidelines while starting Matheus Cunha as the team’s main striker.

Following United’s most recent game, Vidić, known for his tough leadership during the club’s glory days, admitted he was baffled by Amorim’s refusal to trust Šeško from the beginning. The former Serbian defender did not mince words, calling it a mistake that could cost United dearly.

“Amorim cannot be serious,” Vidić said. “How do you keep a striker like Šeško on the bench and go with Cunha instead? I saw the impact he made when he came on — unbelievable. With his size, strength, and movement, he could have easily scored multiple goals tonight just from headers.”

Šeško’s brief appearance left supporters both impressed and frustrated, as he consistently troubled Burnley’s backline with his aerial ability and physical presence. Many fans have already voiced their anger over Amorim’s handling of the young Slovenian striker, and now with a club icon backing their concerns, the criticism directed at the Portuguese coach has only grown louder.

Vidić further stressed that his remarks were not about personal bias against Amorim but about what’s best for the team. “I’ve been saying this for weeks. People think I don’t support the manager, but that’s not true. I want Manchester United to win. Keeping Šeško on the bench is a huge mistake. He is more than ready — he has to start.”

The push for Šeško’s inclusion is gaining momentum, with fans, analysts, and even United greats demanding he be given the chance to lead the attack. If Amorim continues to overlook him, he may find himself facing even greater backlash from both the stands and the club’s wider community.
