Some Manchester United players reportedly believe Ruben Amorim is overly confident in his tactical approach and have concerns about his continued leadership if he persists with the same system.
United’s hopes of securing European football next season were officially dashed following their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. ..Continue Reading
Despite the disappointing result, the club’s hierarchy remains supportive of Amorim, though reports suggest the squad is divided on whether he should continue in charge.
While key figures such as Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, and Luke Shaw publicly backed the manager after the match, others are said to be losing faith in his methods.
According to journalist Chris Wheeler, some players struggle to understand why Amorim remains committed to a tactical system that does not seem to complement the squad’s strengths:
“He’s not going to change the way he plays and the players aren’t happy about that, it’s just not working.”
Manchester United have endured a difficult season under Ruben Amorim, losing 16 of their 41 matches since he took over from Erik ten Hag in November.
With just one game remaining, they find themselves in 16th place, marking their worst-ever Premier League finish.
Their struggles have been compounded by a winless streak in their last eight league matches, further highlighting their poor domestic form.
Additionally, their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham means they will miss out on European football for the first time since the 2014/15 season.
United will conclude their campaign with a home fixture against Fulham on Sunday, hoping to salvage some pride in their final outing.
