Ruben Amorim Embraces Post-Match Dispute Between Manchester United Players
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim views the on-field disagreement between Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo as a positive indicator of the team's passion and commitment.
Following Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, an on-field dispute arose between Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo. The altercation stemmed from Hojlund's frustration over Diallo's decision not to pass the ball during a late counter-attack, which could have provided Hojlund with a hat-trick opportunity.
Addressing the incident, manager Ruben Amorim expressed his approval, stating, "For me, it's perfect. We need to feel something. If we need to fight each other, it's like a family. For me, it's a very, very good sign." He emphasized that such confrontations reflect the players' deep care for the team, drawing parallels to familial disagreements.
Amorim prefers that players resolve such issues among themselves, intervening only when necessary. He remarked, "It's a normal thing, it's a positive thing, a healthy thing, so I let the players and the captain calm down the things. If I think it's too much ... ."
This perspective underscores Amorim's belief in fostering a passionate and self-regulating team environment, where players are encouraged to address conflicts directly, mirroring the dynamics of a close-knit family.
