On the back of seeing the Italian tactician relieved of his duties after speaking out at Chelsea, under-fire Amorim took the decision to aim an outburst of his own in the direction of club officials at Old Trafford.
It has not been a happy New Year for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side ended 2025 on Arsenal's coat tails at the top of the Premier League, but 2026 got off to a frustrating start as they drew at Sunderland to slip four points behind the Gunners. And after a brilliant performance against Chelsea ended with another frustrating draw on Sunday, City are now six points off the pace and two centre-backs down.
Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has been brutally informed that he will “never be Eden Hazard”, with Gary Neville claiming that the Portugal international can be a “bloody frustrating” player to watch.

Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior looks set to be named Chelsea's new head coach after reportedly flying to London for final contract negotiations.

Jamie Carragher has predicted when Mohamed Salah will receive his grand send-off from Liverpool.
