"I think it is the feeling of entitlement that we have in our club. Sometimes strong words aren't bad words. Sometimes difficult moments aren't a bad thing for the kids. We don't need to be always with accolades in everything, in every situation. We are not helping. That is why [the media] talk about a lot of players; nowadays, they speak and go against the club because they feel entitlement."
"Sometimes I am the first to say that I am failing this club on the pitch, that I have that feeling we are not performing the way we should. But outside the pitch, I guarantee you I am not failing this club. I think it is something in our club. The players sometimes forget what it means to play for Manchester United."
"We as a club sometimes forget who we are and that is the feeling I have. I understand everything. It is the environment of the players, the kids - they feel free to reply to the manager with a picture. 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."
A feeling of entitlement exists among younger Manchester United players, evidenced by deleted social-media posts from Chido Obi and Harry Amass showcasing achievements away from Old Trafford. The pair were judged not to be performing well enough to justify first-team consideration. An academy graduate's half-brother publicly supported Kobbie Mainoo while Mainoo has struggled for minutes this season. The situation prompted criticism of a broader club culture, calling for improved internal communication, accountability, and a return to Manchester United values. An open-door approach was offered but no private conversations have been reported, leading to calls for the club to change.
