Wetin happen for Old Trafford no be small matter o! Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, don fire back on top wetin he sabi as ‘feeling of entitlement’ wey dey catch una youth players. No be joke, as dem don dey protest up and down because dem no dey get enough playing time! Even one guy wey no be player join matter, he come wear t-shirt wey write ‘Free Kobbie Mainoo‘ during one big match against Bournemouth, wahala no get part two.
As Amorim come manage talk for press conference last Friday, him no hide mouth at all. Him talk say, “Na this entitlement feeling wey dey disturb our boys.” E remind dem say sometimes, tough love na wetin dem need, no be soft-handed treatment. Abeg, which kain soft life dem wan dey enjoy for ball?
The drama no stop there. Kobbie Mainoo, wey be the main gist now, don dey sit down for bench. E be like say na this bench dey catch fire for am, as im half-brother, Jordan Mainoo-Hames, wey don see wahala from Love Island, come dey raise eyebrow with him t-shirt stunt. But Amorim don clear matter, e no go shift because of family wahala. “Na Kobbie no wear the t-shirt,” him yarn. “Bench nor be because of t-shirt!”
But no be only Kobbie dey vex; Chido Obi and Harry Amass also join the protest dance on social media. When Amorim talk say Amass dey struggle for Championship, the boy quickly post him Player of the Month award in response. Chido Obi sef come show goal celebration video after gisting say e no dey start all the time for Under 21s. Dem come delete the posts fast-fast, but gree say we don see.
Amorim dey hot as im call out the mentality wey dey for the club. “Our boys dey forget wetin e mean to play for Manchester United,” e talk. This man dey talk am as e be, say, nobody dey run come talk to am for office, dem no wan settle matter like proper grown-up.
Even club legends don jump enter matter wey dey hot now. Roy Keane, na legend wey sabi how to flex, call Jordan Mainoo-Hames ‘idiot’ for the t-shirt waka. “Sometimes you dey surrounded by correct idiots, especially for family,” Keane yan. E be like say dem get serious wahala for Old Trafford, as Amorim dey try bring change while anybody wey wan jazz de expect special treatment.
Na lie I go talk if I say di January transfer window no go shake them again. The way these boys dey react, e fit change wetin dey happen for club. Amorim go still hold him ground, say na tough love dey necessary to bring out better players from dem.
