Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has pointed the blame for Manchester United’s desperately disappointing season at his players.
The Red Devils are coming to the end of their worst ever Premier League campaign with the club sitting 16th in the table after just 10 wins in 36 games.
Amorim took charge following the sacking of Erik ten Hag in October but has failed to turn things around domestically, managing just six victories in 25 matches.
‘I am embarrassed that in 25 games, we have won six,’ Amorim told Sky Sports. ‘Something is wrong with the way we are playing football.’
‘Sometimes it is not about the way we play tactically, it is the way we face competition and suffer. When we get mad about losing.
‘Everything we have been through, I have a clear picture and a clear feeling of what this team needs to be so much better.
Ruben Amorim has shifted the blame on to his Man United stars and their ‘behaviour’
United are coming to the end of a desperately disappointing Premier League campaign
Amorim says there are more than just problems on the pitch when it comes to his team
‘It is not just on the pitch, it is outside the pitch. We have all the conditions to be better.’
Amorim added: ‘There are some things we cannot change in summer, the feeling in the club and the way we see it.
‘The feeling that we cannot lose a match. We have to change that and not think about transfers.
‘That is more profound than changing people. We are doing that but people cannot see that.
‘The way we work and the behaviour we have in the club. The things we cannot see, we are working on it.
‘We need to forget about the final and need to be better against Chelsea.’
United face the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Friday night but most fans are looking ahead to next Wednesday’s Europa League final against Spurs, who have had a similarly disappointing league season.
The winner of that showdown in Bilbao will end the season on a high with silverware and qualify for the Champions League, which will then improve their chances of adding quality in the summer.
United will then face Aston Villa in their final game of the campaign and could still finish as high as 13th if they are to beat them and Chelsea.
Their league form implies that the chances of that happening are slim, however.
Amorim’s team come in to Friday’s clash in London without a win in their last seven Premier League encounters, losing four of those.
