Europa League run can’t hide the rot as United boss hints at summer exodus and calls for ‘bravery’ in rebuild!
Full Story:
Ruben Amorim, under mounting pressure at Manchester United, has launched his harshest critique yet following the club’s latest Premier League disaster—a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford to West Ham that leaves the Red Devils languishing in 16th place. With 17 league losses already this season, Amorim admitted he feels “embarrassed” looking at the table and declared that even winning the Europa League “doesn’t matter” compared to the deep-rooted issues plaguing the club.
Speaking after the loss, Amorim said:
> “I feel embarrassed when looking at the Premier League table. For me, it doesn’t matter if we win the Europa League because the problems are much bigger than that.”
His blunt honesty has divided opinion. BBC pundit Danny Murphy criticized the negativity, saying it can demoralize players and that Amorim needs to offer solutions instead of just exposing flaws. This echoes a January outburst where Amorim controversially called United “maybe the worst team in the club’s history.”
Despite his harsh tone, Amorim insists he’s trying to instill a cultural shift:
> “Everybody is thinking about the [Europa League] final. The final is not the issue. We have bigger things to think about… We need to be really strong in the summer and to be brave because we will not have a next season like this.”
The comment hints at drastic changes ahead, including possible high-profile exits and a major overhaul if the board backs Amorim. However, internal speculation is already growing, with rumors surfacing that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s camp is evaluating alternatives should results not improve swiftly.
Coming Up:
United face a defining test in the Europa League final—but failure there may accelerate the end of Amorim’s short-lived tenure.
