Amorim’s Aversion to Watching Penalties…
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer have turned up the heat on Ruben Amorim for his peculiar habit of avoiding Manchester United’s penalty shootouts. It’s like he’s a vampire afraid of the sight of a football getting kicked! United had a shaky week, first getting booted out of the Carabao Cup by Grimsby and then wobbling to a late win against Burnley. With a start as unpredictable as a squirrel on espresso, Amorim’s decision to duck during penalties only stirred more drama and called into question what kind of message he’s sending to his players.
Even as Bruno Fernandes sealed the match against Burnley, Amorim was found hiding like a kid avoiding a ghost story. Lineker, reflecting on the Grimsby defeat, openly said it’s like being scared of cotton candy – unnecessary and confusing! He argued that leadership requires courage, especially when young players are aiming for the net. Shearer jumped on the roast train, claiming that Amorim’s behavior was the managerial equivalent of a turtle retreating into its shell. As Premier League action returns soon, Amorim’s troops are set to charge at Manchester City, with a shaky start behind them and a mountain of expectations looming ahead.
