Ruben Amorim has declared he is Manchester United's manager, not just a coach. He warned he could leave when his contract ends in 18 months.
The outburst followed United's 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday. It highlights a growing conflict over the club's transfer strategy.
Amorim directly challenged the club's scouts and sporting director. He told them "to do their job" during a tense press conference.
The Portuguese coach's comments cast serious doubt on his long-term future at Old Trafford. He implied a power struggle about who controls player signings.
