Manchester United legend David Beckham speaks out about the situation at Old Trafford amid calls for Ruben Amorim to change his system to improve results.<\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> legend David Beckham<\/a> has revealed that he is “fed up” with the club and has criticised the performances of the players on the pitch.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils were beaten 3-0 by rivals Manchester City<\/a> on Sunday, with goals from Phil Foden<\/a> and Erling Haaland<\/a> condemning them to a third defeat in five games in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

While losing to City is not necessarily a surprise result when taken in isolation due to their quality, United have consistently underperformed under current boss Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans and pundits have questioned the manager and players, with Beckham the latest to voice his concerns, telling CBS Sports Golazo<\/a>: “Being an ex-player, and being a fan of the club, I would hope that they are hurting like we are as fans, and I’m sure they are because they’re professionals.<\/p>\n

“They’re not going out there not wanting to win the game. They’ve just come up against a team like City, at City. Whenever you lose these games, you don’t go out for a few weeks because you know you can’t walk around Manchester and bump into United fans, because it’s just not a good place to be in.<\/p>\n

“It was a very hard watch yesterday, and like I said, as a United fan, I’m fed up with watching these games and seeing what we’re seeing as fans.”<\/p>\n

United finished 15th last season, and after four Premier League<\/a> matchweeks this term, the club reside in 14th plcae with just four points.<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

What has gone wrong for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United?<\/p>\n

Since Amorim was appointed in November 2024, he was won just 25.8% of his games at Manchester United, which is the worst win rate of any manager in the club’s history.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest criticisms of Portuguese during his time at Old Trafford has been his use of midfielders, with his side’s double pivot routinely exploited last season.<\/p>\n

Opponents have continued to find it relatively straightforward to overload the midfield duo this campaign, and they have experienced joy in the middle of the pitch.<\/p>\n

The coach’s decision to field Bruno Fernandes<\/a> in one of the two double pivot roles has also caused concern in the fanbase, especially as the 31-year-old has struggled to deal with his extra defensive responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

Can Amorim fix United’s midfield issues?<\/p>\n

Though many have criticised the manager’s decision to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, others like Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner<\/a> have successfully implemented the same base structure in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

However, Glasner often ensures that his midfield is not overrun by asking a centre-back to step forward, something that United’s centre-backs rarely do when defending against counter-attacks.<\/p>\n

Amorim could add an extra player into midfield in order to provide extra solidity, with sides like Inter Milan having used 3-5-2 to great effect over the years.<\/p>\n

If the Red Devils boss refuses to add an extra midfielder, then he must move Fernandes out of the double pivot, as the team will otherwise continue to concede avoidable goals.<\/p>\n
