Ruben Amorim hit Wayne Rooney back for burning his prem title ambitions as 'naive'.
Fulham dumped FA Cup holders Manchester United when keeper Bernd Leno rescued punishments from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee in a shooting.
But United -Baas Amorim says that his real goal is to become competition champions.
The top scorer of the Red Devils 253 target Rooney, who turns 40 in October, claims that he will not happen until top players want to sign for the club.
In a excavation at Rooney, who was settled as Plymouth -Baas in December, Amorim has been banned: 'I am not naive. We know that we are in a difficult time.
“I knew that before I came and I know that now – maybe that's why I am the manager of Manchester United at the age of 40.
“It is very easy to be an expert. I was an expert for a while in Portugal and I know it's easy and everyone knows everything.
“The goal is to win the competition at this club again.
“Naive” is thinking that we are going to do it this season or be the best competition next season. “
Amorim's explosion at Rooney is the second time in three days that he has called a club icon.
The Portuguese Bat back in Roy Keane on Friday about the criticism of the former Red Devils Skipper on the current captain Bruno Fernandes and said: “My opinion is more important”.
TV Pundit Rooney focused on Amorim before it said earlier in an ITV interview after the game that “the goal is to win the Premier League”.
Rooney said: “It is a bit naive to say that they want to win the Premier League, because from where they are now, they are a long way.
“If I am a player at another club and try to sign me Manchester United, I think 'I am not sure'. The top players want Champions League.
“United was in the transition when I signed and a big reason I was signing Sir Alex Ferguson because you knew he would get it right and rebuild that team. It's hard to see that now. “
Amorim was appointed United Boss on November 1 after Erik ten Hag was fired – five months after the Dutchman won the FA Cup.
The former sporting Lisbon manager has lost ten of the 24 games in all matches since taking over. Ten Hag took 55 games to lose ten games.
This defeat of Fulham earning a quarterfinals with Crystal Palace came in a shooting after Fernandes had leveled the opener of Calvin Bassey.
Rooney added: “He gets time, but it is not a free hit and managers do not get that time in the last ten to 15 years.
“You have to be selfish as a manager and say:” Okay, if I don't do it now, I might not get that time. “
“There has been a slow decline of the club. They must get some consistency and then they will continue. “
Fernandes suggested that his team was not fit enough to abandon Fulham in extra time.
He said: “We were out of legs and we couldn't keep the ball. It's just fatigue.
“It's very disappointing. We had a hard time in the Premier League, so this was one of our goals, which again came to Wembley like last season and two seasons earlier.
“Fulham was more relaxed on the ball with more patience.”
Fulham has never won a big trophy, but has qualified for the quarterfinals for the second season in three.
Baas Marco Silva said: “We were brave and we were the better team.
“It was a moment for Bernd Leno to show that he is one of the best keepers in the Premier League.
“We really want to go to Wembley this time – this competition is so important for this club.”
