10.5K“I can take the blame for my mistake, but I will NEVER accept this from my own manager” – Luke Shaw drops shocking revelation about what Ruben Amorim told him after Man United’s humiliating defeat to Man City
BREAKING NEWS: The Manchester Derby fallout is turning uglier by the hour, and this time it’s not just about the scoreline. Luke Shaw, one of Manchester United’s most senior players, has broken his silence and publicly revealed what manager Ruben Amorim said to him after the full-time whistle at the Etihad yesterday. The shocking revelation has sent shockwaves through the United fanbase and cast fresh doubts over the harmony inside the dressing room.
United were humbled 3-0 by Pep Guardiola’s City, with Erling Haaland once again making the difference after ruthlessly capitalizing on Shaw’s costly error in the first half. The defender admitted his mistake but claims the real problem came after the final whistle when Amorim confronted him in a manner Shaw insists crossed the line.
“I know I made a mistake for that goal that Haaland scored, I’ll put my hands up for that,” Shaw admitted. “But what Ruben Amorim said to me after the match is over is what I will not accept from anybody, not even my manager.”
Shaw stopped short of quoting Amorim word-for-word, but his body language during the interview said it all. Sources close to the United camp suggest the Portuguese coach singled out Shaw in front of the squad, accusing him of “betraying the game plan” and “handing City the win.” The remarks reportedly left Shaw furious, especially given the defender’s long service at the club and his willingness to play through injuries for the team in recent seasons.
Fans are now split. Some argue Amorim was right to be brutally honest after yet another humiliating loss, while others believe publicly shaming a senior player like Shaw only risks dividing an already fragile dressing room. The United fanbase is already restless after a poor start to the season, and this latest fallout only adds fuel to the fire.
What makes matters worse is that this isn’t the first time Luke Shaw has clashed with a manager at Old Trafford. His difficult relationship with José Mourinho is still fresh in the memory, and some supporters are now questioning whether Amorim is heading down the same road by taking on one of the squad’s leaders.
For United, the timing couldn’t be worse. With a packed fixture list ahead and pressure mounting on Amorim after his slow start, the last thing the club needs is dressing-room unrest. Shaw’s bold statement has now opened a can of worms, forcing fans and pundits to ask one big question: is Amorim already losing control of Manchester United?
If there’s one thing certain about Old Trafford right now, it’s this — the cracks are no longer hidden. And if this war of words continues, United’s season could implode before it has even truly begun.
