Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has openly admitted that his team’s performances this season have fallen short of expectations, saying both he and the players are underachieving.
Speaking ahead of United’s upcoming Premier League match, Amorim didn’t try to hide his frustration. He said the results so far have not been good enough for a club of Manchester United’s size and history. According to the manager, the team should have earned more points by now.
Amorim also took responsibility for the situation, saying that when a team isn’t winning regularly, the manager must accept the blame. He made it clear that excuses don’t matter at this level — only results do.
The United boss responded to criticism from former players as well, explaining that it’s natural for club legends to expect higher standards. He admitted that fans and former stars are right to be disappointed, as Manchester United is a club built on winning.
There were also questions about young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who has not featured regularly in the starting lineup this season. Amorim said he wants what’s best for the player’s development and is open to discussions if more game time elsewhere would help him grow.
Despite the pressure, Amorim remains focused on improving performances and turning things around. He knows the expectations at Manchester United are high, and he accepts that meeting those standards is the only way forward.
