He’s a natural goalscorer! He wants to score goals and he has what it takes to play big games and get into those positions, but Amorim won’t see it! ” – Man United U18s coach sends strong message to Rúben Amorim amid goal-scoring crisis!

“How can a manager ignore such a talent when his team is crying out for goals?”

That’s the question many are posing following a bold statement from a Manchester United U18s coach, who has criticized Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim for his handling of a young, instinctive finisher. With Sporting struggling to find the net in crucial matches, the United coach’s remarks have only intensified the frustration among supporters.

“He’s a natural goalscorer! He wants to score goals, and he has what it takes to play big games and get into those positions. But Amorim won’t see it!” the coach declared, emphasizing that the player possesses all the qualities necessary to address Sporting’s attacking struggles.

Despite their dominance in possession and attacking play, Sporting CP have failed to capitalize on their chances in decisive moments this season. Their inability to convert opportunities has cost them crucial points in the title race, and the mounting pressure on Amorim is becoming harder to ignore. With fans already questioning his tactical decisions, his unwillingness to give a proven young forward a chance has only deepened their frustration.

The unnamed young striker has reportedly been excelling in training, consistently getting into dangerous areas and finishing with precision. His hunger for goals and ability to rise to the occasion in big matches make him the kind of player Sporting desperately need at this moment. Yet, for reasons unknown, Amorim remains unconvinced.

Could it be tactical inflexibility? A reluctance to trust youth? Or is Amorim simply overlooking what others can plainly see? Whatever the reason, Sporting’s fans will not remain quiet for long—especially if their struggles in front of goal persist.

As the pressure continues to mount, one question lingers: Will Amorim finally recognize the talent at his disposal, or will his refusal to take a chance on a natural-born finisher prove to be a costly mistake for Sporting?
