Ruben Amorim had already been watching the academy players at the training ground before the discussion about showing the academy coaches came up. One post about the topic says photos proved he was there observing them, after claims that he never watched them.

Quick Scoop

  • The main point is that Amorim was not ignoring the academy entirely.
  • He was seen at the training ground watching academy players.
  • The surrounding discussion seems to come from criticism about his relationship with United’s academy setup.

What the reports say

The reporting around this story frames Amorim’s actions as part of a wider debate over how involved he was with Manchester United’s youth system.

A later article also links academy-related criticism to Amorim’s comments and the way first-team opportunities were handled.

Bottom line

So, before “showing the academy coaches,” Amorim had been monitoring academy talent at the training ground rather than skipping them altogether.

TL;DR: He was reportedly watching academy players first, which is why the later criticism about his academy involvement got pushback.
