In a stunning development that threatens to plunge Manchester United deeper into crisis, Harry Maguire is said to have confronted head coach Ruben Amorim in the dressing room following the club’s latest defeat — a game multiple players believed “United should have won.”
According to multiple sources close to the team, tensions exploded post-match as Maguire, one of the club’s senior figures, vocally challenged Amorim’s tactics, substitutions, and motivational methods in front of the entire squad.
“It was fiery,” said one source. “Maguire didn’t hold back. He told Amorim straight-up that the team is confused and demoralized — and that the loss was on the manager.”
Witnesses claim the exchange escalated into a shouting match, with Amorim refusing to back down, defending his decisions and reportedly telling the players to “look in the mirror” before pointing fingers.
But what shocked insiders most was what happened next:
“The room turned,” one source said. “A majority of the players sided with Maguire — not because he’s perfect, but because they’re tired of the uncertainty, the lack of cohesion, and what many are calling a ‘disconnected’ coaching style.”
While no physical altercation occurred, the atmosphere reportedly reached a boiling point, forcing senior staff to intervene and diffuse the situation.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the club, with several board members now concerned about Amorim’s ability to hold the dressing room together — especially with high-stakes fixtures looming.
Social media has exploded with speculation, with fans split between blaming a toxic locker room culture and questioning whether Amorim was the right appointment in the first place.
“This club doesn’t need more talent. It needs a leader,” one fan tweeted.
“When your captain is fighting your coach, something’s broken at the core,” posted another.
No official statement has been released by Manchester United at this time, but internal sources suggest emergency meetings have already been held behind closed doors.
With morale reportedly crumbling and unity in shambles, the question now becomes:
Can Ruben Amorim survive this storm — or has the dressing room already decided his fate?
