Manchester United is currently a club on the brink of full-scale civil war.
Ruben Amorim’s press conference after the draw with Leeds United was explosive, effectively challenging the board and threatening to leave in 2026.
Aaron Scholes, the son of iconic United midfielder Paul Scholes, has issued a vitriolic attack on the Portuguese manager on social media that has gone viral among the Red Devils’ fan base.
Paul Scholes’ son slams Reuben Amorim
Scholes’ son was unreserved in his assessment of Amorim’s recent actions and tactical record.
In an X-rated social media post, he said: “Then it’s useless publicity. You said you were leaving and another Jose is begging for a reward. You were supported and made the worst tactical decision I have ever seen during a match. There is no one to blame but you. Make it yours as promised and run.”
Paul Scholes himself has been a vocal critic of Amorim, recently saying the manager “doesn’t understand the club”, but his son’s post took the hostility to a new personal and offensive level.
Amorim’s relationship with the club may have completely broken down.
Amorim’s relationship with Jason Wilcox is in crisis, with Amorim reportedly under pressure to change his formation.
It is also said that Christopher Vivel complained about the 40-year-old in a WhatsApp conversation.
Amorim suggested last week that he had no intention of begging for a new contract and that the club should be aware of his needs.
And this shocking interview with Amorim confirms that all is not well at United.
By publicly mentioning an “18-month” schedule, Mr. Amorim has effectively turned himself into a lame-duck manager.
The board now faces a crucial decision: whether to bring back a manager who appears to have taken a step forward, or cut ties before the season descends into further turmoil.
