"I think it's a little bit the feeling of entitlement that we have in our club, the Portuguese said. Sometimes, strong words are not bad words. Sometimes, difficult moments are not bad things for the kids. We don't need to be always with accolades in everything, in every situation. The United boss called for a change of culture at the club, who are sixth in the Premier League in the run-up to Sunday's visit to high-flying Aston Villa."
"The players sometimes forget about what it means to play for Manchester United. We as a club sometimes forget who we are, he said. And that's the feeling that I have. So I understand everything. It's the environment, it's the moment of the players, the kids. They feel entitled. They feel free to respond to the manager with a picture. Amorim said his office door was open if players wanted to discuss issues. Nobody is coming to talk to me, he said. And that is the way we can solve things."
Ruben Amorim criticized entitlement among Manchester United academy players after provocative deleted Instagram posts by 18-year-olds Harry Amass and Chido Obi. Amass posted a photo holding Sheffield Wednesday's player of the month award; Obi posted celebrating an under-21s goal. Amorim noted Amass was struggling on loan and Obi was not always a starter. He defended a direct approach, saying strong words and difficult moments can help. He said players and the club have forgotten what it means to play for Manchester United, called for culture change, and invited players to discuss issues in his open-door policy.
