"It could be 10 years, could be 11, Ferguson told Press Box PR. I remember looking back on my own time, starting off [in November 1986] when Liverpool were the bee's knees. They were a fantastic club, winning the European Cup four times, but then it took them 31 [actually 30] years to win the league again [after 1990]. We are now in the same situation [as Liverpool in the 1990s]."
"It is the feeling of entitlement that we have in our club. Nowadays they [United players] speak and go against the club because they feel entitlement and then we have legends of the club saying: If you don't play, leave.' We have to fight against this feeling. The players sometimes forget what it means to play for Manchester United. The door to my office is open, nobody is coming to talk to me and that is the way we can solve things so I think we need to change as a club."
Sir Alex Ferguson suggested Manchester United could require another 10 or 11 years to claim a league title, comparing the situation to Liverpool's long gap between championships. Ruben Amorim publicly disagreed, saying the club will not wait that long and expressing uncertainty over who will manage the team then. Amorim criticised a sense of entitlement among some players after loan and under-21 remarks led to social-media posts that were later deleted. Amorim urged improved communication, said players sometimes forget what it means to play for Manchester United, and called for cultural change within the club.
