Manchester United’s fiery 2–2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur has sparked yet another storm — and this time, manager Rúben Amorim is the one losing his patience.
Despite a strong start and an early two-goal cushion, United failed to secure all three points — thanks to a series of missed chances, with Benjamin Šeško’s glaring miss in the 88th minute standing out as the turning point.
And Amorim, usually calm and composed in front of the press, didn’t hold back after the match.
“I hate him for that horrible miss!” Amorim reportedly shouted in the dressing room.
“Yes, he’s been on form — probably our best player since the start of the season — but in a match like this, you don’t miss chances like that! That miss cost us everything. He’s going straight to the bench until I’m satisfied!”
Those words, captured by sources close to the Manchester United camp, quickly leaked online — and social media erupted instantly.
The Miss That Changed Everything
😩
It all happened in the dying minutes of the match.
The scoreline was 2–2. United were pressing for a winner after Spurs equalized through Richarlison. Then came the moment that could’ve changed everything.
A perfectly threaded through ball from Mason Mount split Tottenham’s defense wide open, leaving Šeško one-on-one with Vicario. It looked like a certain goal — the entire United bench was already celebrating.
But Šeško hesitated for half a second… and blasted it straight at the keeper.
Tottenham cleared, the final whistle blew, and frustration boiled over immediately.
Bruno Fernandes dropped to his knees. Amorim turned away in disbelief. The players looked stunned — they knew that was the moment.
Amorim’s Frustration Hits Boiling Point
Rúben Amorim’s words after the match left no room for doubt — he’s running out of patience with costly mistakes in key moments.
“You can’t afford to switch off like that in this league,” he told reporters post-match.
“We work hard, we create the chances — but if you don’t take them, you get punished. Simple as that.”
Insiders say Amorim’s anger was directed straight at Šeško in the dressing room.
The manager reportedly walked past his striker without a handshake, muttering under his breath, “You cost us again.”
While Amorim’s public comments were measured, privately he’s said to be “furious,” telling his coaching staff that Šeško “needs a wake-up call” and may be dropped for United’s next fixture.
Šeško’s Incredible Form Before the Miss
To be fair, Benjamin Šeško has been one of United’s brightest stars this season.
Since arriving from RB Leipzig, the 22-year-old striker has scored 10 goals in 15 appearances, quickly becoming a fan favorite and a symbol of Amorim’s new attacking era.
But in football, fans have short memories — and a single miss in a big match can flip the script.
Šeško’s confidence and finishing, once praised, are now being questioned. Critics are beginning to ask if the young forward can handle pressure in Premier League’s biggest games.
Fan Reactions: From Love to Rage
😤
The Manchester United fanbase has been buzzing with mixed emotions.
While some defended Šeško for his overall impact this season, others couldn’t hide their disappointment.
Here’s what fans are saying across X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit:
Even rival fans joined the mockery, posting memes of Šeško’s miss with captions like “United’s luck in a single picture.”
Inside the Dressing Room: Amorim’s Message Was Brutal
Reports from insiders claim that the Manchester United dressing room was tense after full-time. Amorim allegedly spoke directly to Šeško in front of everyone, his tone sharp and emotional.
“Do you think this is a joke? You don’t get ten chances in big games! That one miss cost us everything we worked for,” Amorim shouted.
“I don’t care how good you’ve been — this team plays for results, not sympathy.”
The rest of the squad, including Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, remained silent.
According to sources, even Garnacho looked shaken as Amorim stormed out of the room.
Šeško’s Reaction — Shocked and Silent
Witnesses say Šeško stayed behind long after the team had left, sitting quietly in front of his locker. The striker didn’t respond to Amorim’s outburst and refused to speak to the press.
He later posted a short message on Instagram Stories:
“We go again. I’ll take the blame for this one.”
While that earned him respect from some fans, it did little to cool the firestorm brewing around Old Trafford.
Amorim’s Dilemma — Drop Him or Forgive Him?
Amorim now faces a tough decision ahead of United’s next match.
Should he bench Šeško to send a message — or keep faith in his young striker?
Club sources suggest Amorim might start Rasmus Højlund in the next fixture, giving Šeško “a mental break” while sending a warning that nobody’s place is guaranteed.
It wouldn’t be the first time Amorim made a bold statement. Earlier this season, he benched Antony for “lack of discipline” — and the team responded strongly.
Dropping Šeško could have the same effect — or risk breaking his confidence completely.
Fans Growing Impatient: “We Need Results, Not Excuses!”
Manchester United fans have endured enough heartbreak this season.
Draws that feel like losses, defensive collapses, missed chances — it’s a pattern everyone’s tired of seeing.
“We don’t care who scores — we just want three points.”
“This team is too talented to keep making the same mistakes.”
“Šeško needs to wake up. This is Manchester United, not a youth experiment.”
It’s a sentiment Amorim surely feels too — his tone after the match made it clear he’s done tolerating mediocrity.
Conclusion: Amorim’s Patience Runs Out
Benjamin Šeško may be Manchester United’s rising star, but tonight proved that no one is untouchable.
Amorim’s furious words echo through the fanbase — and the message is simple:
Form means nothing if you can’t deliver when it matters.
Whether this outburst fuels Šeško’s comeback or sparks a deeper rift in the squad remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: the next match will reveal everything.
