Ruben Amorim reflected on the immense stress before matches during the 2024-25 season at Manchester United, where the team ended up in 15th place in the Premier League. He replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season but could only achieve seven wins in 27 league games, facing a tough Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. Amorim felt frustrated knowing the team was not competitive and admits to changing his mindset to a more pragmatic approach. He is focused on improving the team's culture and has a vision for transformation, emphasizing the importance of standards.
To tell you the truth, it's not how I returned to my house after the games, it was how I left to go to the games, because I felt that sometimes we will struggle.
To go to the games and know that we are not going to be competitive - I was really frustrated.
Sometimes, when you are losing, you might think let's change the standards a little bit for them [the players] to be with me; I didn't - and they saw it.
Now [the players] understand when I say that I believe in them and I believe they can change things.
