BREAKING 🚨‼️ Pep Guardiola just threw major shade, calling Ruben Amorim a “baby coach” after United’s embarrassing loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final. He claims he warned Amorim about a specific player, but the advice fell on deaf ears—and now, well, the result speaks for itself. Basically, Pep voiced what every Manchester United fan is thinking right now: Amorim and that player are the ones to blame for today’s defeat.

Alright, let’s unpack this whole mess with some style and a dose of reality. Manchester United’s Europa League final ended in gut-punch fashion, losing 1-0 to Tottenham. The killer moment? A cross from Pape Matar Sarr that somehow twisted through Luke Shaw’s legs and ended up as an own goal credited to Brennan Johnson. Talk about a cruel twist — and this trophy drought for Spurs is over after 15 years, while United fans are left scratching their heads.

 

Then comes the spicy rumor mill: Pep Guardiola allegedly throwing shade at Ruben Amorim, calling him a “baby coach” and basically saying he ignored advice about a key Spurs player. Now, whether Pep actually said that or not is up in the air, but the very idea that the Manchester City boss might be low-key dissing United’s manager is enough to spark drama hotter than a summer transfer saga.

 

Amorim’s ride at United hasn’t been a smooth cruise. Since he stepped in back in November, the club’s been floundering with injuries hitting key guys like Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo. The team finished 16th in the Premier League, their worst showing in decades. Despite this, making it to a European final was a glimmer of hope, though it quickly turned into a nightmare when the final whistle blew.

 

The tactical setup is another headache. Amorim’s favored 3-4-3 formation worked wonders at Sporting CP, but at United, it feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole. Critics, including Stephen Warnock, argue that this system stifled United’s ability to break down Spurs’ defense and opened the door to the own goal calamity. Sometimes tradition just doesn’t fit the players you’ve got.

 

In his usual post-match honesty, Amorim admitted the team’s got “so many problems” and that they’ve got loads to improve. Admirable honesty, sure, but fans expect more than a problem list—they want solutions. United’s not a club where you can just say, “We’ll fix it next time.” The stakes here are sky-high, and patience is thin.

 

The aftermath? Well, if Zidane’s still lurking as a potential savior, this loss might either torpedo those talks or make the board rush to make a change before things get worse. If Amorim sticks around, he’s got to deliver a knockout preseason, serious transfer support, and results ASAP. Otherwise, that “baby coach” label isn’t just a jab—it could become the defining theme of his whole tenure.

 

United’s season was chaos incarnate — a low league finish, injury woes, a brief European hope snatched away. The club sits at a crossroads, balancing between ambition and the harsh reality of inexperience and pressure. How Amorim navigates this will say a lot about whether he’s the man to steady the ship or just a fleeting experiment in Old Trafford’s turbulent saga.

 

So, what’s next? Will the “baby coach” rise or fall? Will Zidane step in, or will the board double down on a rebuild? The drama isn’t over — it’s just shifting into the next act, and the whole world’s watching.
