Maguire wrote, \u201cThank you for everything, boss,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish you all the best in the future.\u201d Matthijs de Ligt shared a very similar message wishing the best of luck.<\/p>\n<p>Amad Diallo, who had been largely frozen out by Erik ten Hag prior to the last managerial switch in 2025 and whose United career was transformed under Amorim, wrote, \u201cGood luck, my coach. Thank you for everything, I wish you all the best.\u201d Joshua Zirkzee posted, \u201cAll the best for the future, boss.\u201d Mason Mount said, \u201cThank you, Gaffer. All the best to you and your staff for the future.\u201d New signings also left positive notes. Matheus Cunha wrote, \u201cThank you, Mister, for everything. May God bless you and your family always. I wish you success in the next steps.\u201d Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko both thanked Amorim for \u201ceverything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regular starters also sent thanks. Luke Shaw posted, \u201cThank you for everything and wishing you the best of luck with whatever the future holds, Gaffer.\u201d Diogo Dalot said, \u201cThank you for everything, Mister. And good luck in the future.\u201d Young defender Ayden Heaven, who had been given a large platform by Amorim, wrote, \u201cThank you for the opportunity to play, boss. All the best.\u201d Leny Yoro added, \u201cThank you, coach, for everything. All the best for what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not every player has posted public messages. At the time of writing there has been nothing public from Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, Manuel Ugarte or Casemiro. The silence from Mainoo follows a difficult spell under Amorim that included no Premier League starts through the first half of 2025\u201326 and requests to leave the club. Mart\u00ednez had limited minutes because of injury and has been linked to a training ground confrontation after feeling snubbed. Amorim arrived in 2024 and was initially seen as the boost Ugarte needed, but Ugarte was allegedly singled out for criticism after last season&#8217;s Europa League final and was largely a backup in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Manchester United players publicly thanked Ruben Amorim after his departure from the club.
