Man Utd fans demand Ruben Amorim drops one player immediately after Spurs defeat and picks academy star instead

Manchester United fans have demanded that manager Ruben Amorim drops one first team player immediately after their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

 

James Maddison scored the only goal of the game in the first half after Andre Onana could only parry Lucas Bergvall’s effort to his feet from yards out.

 

United missed a gilt-edged chance in the first half through Alejandro Garnacho, who fired over from yards out.

 

There were again criticisms of the tactical shape employed by Amorim and the personnel in certain positions – though his team selection was largely enforced by the absence of several senior players through injury or illness.

 

In fact, United’s bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was entirely made up of academy players, barring centre-back Victor Lindelof.

 

That meant Casemiro started his first Premier League fixture since December 28, but fans were not impressed by his return to the XI.

 

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “It’s sad to say, but I’d rather take an academy kid over Casemiro right now.”

 

Another said: “How is Casemiro still on the pitch? How have we made no subs.”

 

A third wrote: “Casemiro showing exactly why he’s not favoured by Amorim.”
