""Sometimes strong words are not bad words. Sometimes difficult moments are not 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 you guys [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 inside the pitch, 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.""
Ruben Amorim accused some Manchester United players of having a feeling of entitlement after youngsters Chido Obi and Harry Amass posted provocative images on social media following questions about academy readiness. He said strong words and difficult moments can benefit young players and warned against constant accolades. Amorim acknowledged on-field shortcomings but insisted he was not failing the club off the pitch and blamed a club culture that lets players speak out against the club. He invited private conversations, saying his office door is open. A separate incident involved Kobbie Mainoo's brother wearing a "Free Kobbie Mainoo" T-shirt at Old Trafford ahead of the 4-4 draw with Bournemouth.
