Ruben Amorim demands full managerial authority amid frustrations over January transfer inactivity and media criticism, threatening to reassess his 18-month tenure at Manchester United.
- After the match at Elland Road, Ruben Amorim, Head Coach of Manchester United, demanded `I came here to be the manager, not the coach`, and instructed departments to do their jobs.

- The comments add pressure to a hierarchy reshaped by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, where Jason Wilcox was installed and Dan Ashworth sacked, while Amorim criticised Gary Neville's media influence and called for club `change`.
