“Manchester United” team is going through a season full of serious challenges for 2024/25. A number of problems have accumulated at the English giant, currently in 16th place in the Premier League, and the team is fighting to overcome this situation.
Club head coach Ruben Amorim spoke candidly about the team's condition, the players' morale, and his personal feelings at the latest press conference.
"Not winning is an unacceptable situation"
“Having played 25 games and only winning 6 is a result that does not match the name 'Manchester United' at all. I feel a sense of shame about this situation. The fact that we have come to this point is related not only to tactical errors on the field but also to issues with the team spirit,” said the Portuguese specialist.
“We need to work both on and off the field”
According to Amorim, the problem lies not in the team's actions on the field but in the internal environment that shapes those actions:
“As a team, we need to relearn how to approach the opponent and how to respond to defeat. This team should not act as if it is playing a 'friendly' match.”
In his opinion, the lack of desire for victory is reflected in the results.
“The name 'United' is a symbol of responsibility”
Amorim reminded that the 'Manchester United' brand is associated with a great history and heavy responsibility:
“We are 'Manchester United'. Every player, coach, and staff member of this club must represent this name appropriately. We must never agree to be worse than other teams.”
Not a lack of confidence, but a mental crisis
The coach did not label this situation as “a lack of confidence.” According to him, the issue is much deeper:
“This is not a lack of confidence; it is a crisis in the team's mentality. Success is achieved not only with victories but also with mental preparation, character, and team spirit.”
The editorial team of Zamin.uz wishes Amorim and the entire team good luck in restoring 'United' and taking capable steps in a new direction. There is no doubt that the true 'United' spirit will be restored — if there is work, discipline, and unwavering effort behind these words.
