JAKARTA - Manchester United star players are getting hot with manager Ruben Amorim. They were angry after being blamed for layoffs for 200 club staff. The cold war began because players did not dare to openly oppose the atmosphere.

High tensions between players and managers. The 3-2 win over Ipswich Town is actually quite a relief for the team. They stopped the bad trend and improved the rankings in the English Premier League standings even though MU was still at the bottom.

However, rumors circulated that the team's internals were experiencing tensions. Some players are reportedly angry when they blame players for the decision to dismiss many staff. Club CEO Omar Berrada said no less than 200 staff were likely to be laid off.

The layoffs, according to Amorim, cannot be separated from the team's poor achievements in domestic competitions and their failure to qualify for the Champions League. Amorim also accused the player who caused MU to suffer a slump.

"We understand the problem at the club. But one thing that matters is how to deal with the situation," Amorim was quoted as saying by The Sun.

"This is inseparable from the team's failure. Because the team is the engine of a football club," he said.

The player just doesn't accept being blamed. The manager's statement actually caused disharmony in the dressing room. Moreover, they know that the club actually had financial problems before the atmosphere came to Old Trafford.

However, the player did not dare to confront the manager. Even though the team is down, Amorim has not been the one to blame because he came in the middle of the competition.

Amorism also carries a different style of playing with three defenders. However, players have not been able to adapt well so they have lost more often, including when playing at home.

The Sun's source in Carrinton, United's training headquarters, said, "When you come to Carrington, you past think the player's relationship and Amorism are really great. In fact, players are frustrated at being blamed for the club's financial problems."

"Hanya, mereka memang kurang berani untuk konfrontasi dengan manajer. Apalagi, pemain belum bersatu benar dengan manajer. Dia jelas sangat ingin pemain bermain sesuai dengan pola atau gaya dari dia. Dan, pemain berusaha keras menerapkannya di lapangan," kata sumber itu lagi.

The problem is, players have not been able to apply the atmosphere pattern optimally. They still support the tactics that are played amicably. Only players still cannot convey the problem of this tactic.

"Players still support manager tactics. But they find it difficult to convey the problems they face when playing as desired

"They play according to the manager's instructions without thinking whether this is true or wrong. The problem is, players cannot show dislike for that style. This could be the next problem," said the source.

Amorism itself has not yet fully integrated with the players. Only captain Bruno Fernandes has a close relationship with Amoram. He has been the bridge between the player and the manager. Apart from Fernandes, players who are close to Amad Diallo are none other than Amad Diallo.

In the midst of the internal tension of the team, they were finally able to beat Ipswich even though they had conceded a goal first and had to play with 10 players towards the end of the first half. However, Fernandes revealed that the team had problems with tactics and play patterns in the style of amorism.

This was conveyed by Fernandes after discussing with Harry Maguire, one of the senior players in the team who decided the victory of the Red Devils.

"H [Harry Maguire] and I have exchanged our minds. We agreed to keep what we have been through during training. We also tried to be able to follow him," said Fernandes.

"The problem is, the manager's strategy is not going as expected. Because the opposing team has often watched our game. They have also made preparations and anticipation," he said.

"We actually have a big [coach] team. Some of them have been here for a long time. We have a lot of the best people behind the team. If they have worked well, we will also show our skills on the field," said the Portuguese national team player.

MU will face the next test in the FA Cup fifth round, Saturday, March 1, 2025. They returned to act as hosts by hosting Fulham at Old Trafford.
