Ruben Amorim has received critical questions from English journalists after the short “honeymoon” was over and Manchester United sank down the Premier League table even faster than with Ten Hag at the helm. The Portuguese has gradually learned to answer directly, honestly, but a little more cautiously than in the beginning. To one question, however, Amorim sees no reason to change the answer. Jobe Bellingham is said to have pressed the “not wanted for Man Utd button”.
First to Amorim’s blunt response last season, when it became clear Man Utd did not take the Champions League ticket after losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final. The question was: “Do you fear Man Utd top goals don’t sign, because the club doesn’t have Champions League games? The answer was short and firm: Then they are not players for Manchester United.

Manchester United went into the 2025/26 season without a ticket to play in Europe, Cunha and Mneumo were the first to not care about this, Benjamin Sesko didn’t have a problem either, having been spoiled with a CL ticket at Red Bull siblings Salzburg and Leipzig.
Now to Jobe Bellingham. The little brother has had a slow start at Borussia Dortmund, where dad Bellingham is said to have already gotten into an argument with coach Nico Kovac. For the past month, the 20-year-old has been linked with Manchester United, who already in January desperately need reinforcements in midfield.
According to the Daily Mirror, Jobe Bellingham has signaled he has no interest in such a transfer. If he is to leave Dortmund, it will be to a club that can offer Champions League football, it is claimed.

If this is true, we say like Ruben Amorim: Then Bellingham is not the right player for Man Utd anyway.”
