"Sometimes, difficult moments is not a bad thing for the kids. We don't always need accolades in everything. We are not helping. Nowadays, they [players] speak and go against the club because they feel entitled. Then, we have legends of the club saying 'if you don't play, leave, because everyone is wrong'. No. Let's stay. Let's fight. Let's overcome. The door to my office is open. That is the way we can solve things [but] nobody is coming to talk to me."
"sometimes forget what it means to play for Manchester United. I am the first to say I am failing this club inside the pitch but outside I guarantee I am not failing this club. I understand everything, it is the environment of the players, the kids, they feel free to reply to the manager with a picture."
Ruben Amorim condemned a perceived feeling of entitlement among Manchester United players and urged them to use criticism and difficult moments as motivation. He referenced a 'Free Kobbie Mainoo' T-shirt worn by the midfielder's half-brother and noted youngsters Harry Amass and Chido Obi posted then deleted celebratory social media images after public criticism. Amorim rejected advice from club legends that Mainoo should leave, preferring players stay, fight and communicate with him. He said the door to his office is open but players are not approaching him, and he accepted on-pitch shortcomings while insisting he is not failing the club off it.
