"Awkward" Ruben Amorin shocks Manchester United fired

9:54pm, 14 May 2025Football

Manchester United's "embarrassing" head coach Ruben Amorin questioned his future and suggested that he might leave if he couldn't change the "culture" of a team that was stolen from the club's great history.

Manchester United lost 0-2 at home to West Ham on Sunday afternoon, further in trouble. Amorin made six adjustments to the team, locking a seat in the Europa League final next week, but still sent Lenny Yoro, Bruno Fernandez and Armad Diallo. Still, the shaky team has weakly recorded their 17th top-flight loss of the season, the highest since Manchester United relegated from the First Division in 1973/74.

"I don't want to talk about players," Amorin sighed as his team ranked 16th in the Premier League standings. "I'm talking about myself, the culture of the club and the culture of the team. I have this feeling, we need to change that, we need to be very strong in the summer, be brave, because we won't have a next season like this. Former Manchester United full-back Wan Bissaka played a key role in both goals from West Ham United, but he wasn't under any pressure from his former teammates, Thomas Saucek and Jarrod Bowen were gratefully swallowing two obvious opportunities.

"For me, the biggest concern is that the feeling is that 'it's okay ' we can't change our position, so it's okay '," Amorin explained. "This is the biggest problem at the moment for our club because we lose the feeling of being a big club and losing a game at home is the end of the world. "I think this is the biggest concern of our club.

Amorin is not against the claim that many of Manchester United's players have focused on the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham. Amorin himself admitted that his performance in that great game was his "minimum problem". Climbing above 16 is a more concerned about the Portuguese coach.

"What should the Manchester United coach feel in that position, awkward and hard to accept," he said angrily. "I think everyone has to think about a lot of things here seriously. Everyone is thinking about the finals. At this moment in our club, the finals are not a problem. “We have bigger things to consider, we have to change a lot at the end of the season.”

Amorin was not content to slam the end of this terrible season, which would certainly be the club’s lowest average points since the 1930/31 season and he was concerned about the challenges of waiting for next season. "For us, playing in the Premier League and the Champions League is the moon," he warned, considering ahead of time they will qualify by winning the UEFA Cup. "I'm not worried about the final. They (the players) will be very focused, I don't know what's the best, whether to play in the Champions League. If Manchester United's senior executives follow Amorin's advice, it may not be worrying anymore.
