Ruben Amorim has criticized the “entitled” mentality of his Manchester United players, warning that only those willing to work hard and follow his tactical plan will remain in the starting lineup.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has launched a scathing assessment of his squad’s mentality, labeling certain behaviors within the dressing room as “entitled.”
Speaking after a disappointing run of results, the Portuguese manager expressed his frustration with the lack of intensity and work rate displayed by his players.
Amorim warned that the club’s prestigious history does not guarantee future success and demanded an immediate change in the players’ collective approach to matches.
The manager emphasized that talent alone is insufficient to meet the demands of a club like Manchester United.
He criticized the perceived lack of accountability among the stars, suggesting that some individuals have become too comfortable.
Addressing the need for a total cultural overhaul at Carrington, Amorim stated:
“We have to change the culture of the team. If players feel entitled and think that just because they are at Manchester United they don’t have to run, they are wrong.”
Amorim’s comments signal a shift toward a more disciplined regime as he looks to instill his tactical philosophy.
He made it clear that reputation will no longer protect players from being dropped if they fail to meet his physical and mental benchmarks.
Asserting his authority over the squad, the manager bluntly added: “I will only play the players who want to follow the ideas and who want to run for the team.”
