Manchester United’s struggles hit a new low after a 2-0 defeat to West Ham at Old Trafford, leaving manager Ruben Amorim to admit the club’s Premier League campaign has been “unacceptable.” Despite guiding the team to the Europa League final, Amorim acknowledged the embarrassment of their domestic form, with just six wins in 25 league matches.
However, the Portuguese boss remains resolute, claiming he has a clear vision to turn things around. Amorim revealed he has discussed his plans with the board and supporters, insisting he understands the changes needed to restore United’s competitiveness.
“I’ve spoken with the board, the staff, and the fans—I know exactly what this team needs to improve,” Amorim stated. “That clarity helps me stay balanced, even in difficult moments.”
Following the latest defeat, Amorim didn’t hold back in his assessment, labeling United’s league position as “embarrassing” and demanding a shift in mentality both on and off the pitch.
“It’s hard to describe it any other way,” he admitted. “Six wins in 25 games? That’s not Manchester United. The problem isn’t just tactics or technique—it’s about our attitude, our fight, and how we react when things go against us. These are deeper issues we must address.”
Amorim emphasized that the club’s standards cannot slip further, regardless of their current standing.
“Losing should never feel normal. Drawing should never feel normal,” he said. “This isn’t about confidence—it’s about identity. We must remember who we are and refuse to accept being at the bottom. Our position is inexcusable, and fixing it requires more than just belief—it demands action.”
With a crucial summer ahead, Amorim’s future could hinge on whether United’s hierarchy backs his proposed changes—or decides a bigger shake-up is needed.
