The full picture

Ruben Amorim criticized AC Milan's performance after their 2-0 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros, stating they had "no excuses" and lacked the attitude to compete. Amorim, the AC Milan head coach, expressed disappointment in his team's display despite having 70% possession. Manchester United fans reacted on social media, drawing parallels between Amorim's criticism of AC Milan and his previous comments about Manchester United during his time as their manager. Amorim had previously been sacked by Manchester United in January.

Amorim's comments about AC Milan's performance included stating that the team wasn't ready to compete on both fronts in Serie A and Europe, and that they needed to work on their approach to matches. He took full responsibility for the loss, suggesting he might have done something wrong in the preceding days. Amorim's criticism was harsh, saying that when you play for Milan, you have a responsibility to perform. United fans on social media noted the similarity between Amorim's comments about AC Milan and his previous criticism of Manchester United.

During his time at Manchester United, Amorim had been equally critical, saying after a loss to Brighton that United were "maybe, the worst team in the history of Manchester United" and that their performance was not consistent. He was sacked by United in January and later took over as AC Milan manager in June. United fans on social media reacted to Amorim's comments about AC Milan by referencing his past criticisms of United, with some suggesting a pattern of behavior.

Source context

Manchester United fans could not help but call out Ruben Amorim after AC Milan’s shock 2-0 home defeat to Hungarian side Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Ferencvaros arrived at the San Siro to face AC Milan on Thursday and the Nemzeti Bajnoksag side sealed all three Europa League points on their visit to Italy. A second-half brace from Lenny Joseph left Ruben Amorim’s side chasing the match, as Ferencvaros were even reduced to 10 men after Bamidele Yusuf was sent off.
