2 hrs agoRuben Amorim, Manchester United's manager, faced sharp criticism for his substitutions during the club’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal. Specifically, Amorim brought on Manuel Ugarte for veteran Casemiro in midfield. BBC pundit Clinton Morrison called it a “terrible substitution,” arguing that rising talent Kobbie Mainoo should have come on instead, with Mainoo considered to be ahead of Ugarte in the pecking order for impactful midfield changes.
Adding to this, Gary Neville weighed in on Ugarte’s performance, particularly after Ugarte attempted a long-range shot late in the match. Neville remarked on Sky Sports that “he couldn’t shoot from there and the Stretford End thought the same,” highlighting that Ugarte’s decision-making and execution were subpar at that crucial moment. Both pundits pointed out that such choices reveal worrying signs about United’s squad strategy and player selection under Amorim, as the more promising Mainoo was overlooked for a substantial opportunity.
Amorim was criticized for making a substitution that did not help turn the game around, with Neville and others insisting the Manchester United star who came on “couldn’t shoot,” and that faith should have been placed in younger, more dynamic talent.
