A quiet week at Carrington turned loud the moment Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments hit the airwaves. Manchester United’s former icon claimed the club was “not on a good path” and that Ruben Amorim “cannot do miracles.” Strong words. And as always with Ronaldo, everyone listened.
When the question reached Amorim’s pre-match press conference, the 40-year-old didn’t flinch. He leaned forward and said what many fans were thinking. “Of course, he knows, and he has a huge impact on everything he says,” Amorim began. “But what we need to focus on is the future.”
Amorim wasn’t biting back; he was steering the ship. “We know that we as a club made a lot of mistakes in the past,” he continued. “But we are trying to change that. So let’s not focus on what happened. Let’s focus on what we are doing now.”
It’s been a season that tested even the most loyal supporters. United finished 15th in the Premier League, an almost unthinkable position for a club of their stature. They also lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, a result that cut deep. But amid the gloom, Amorim has kept talking about process, structure, and belief.
“We are changing a lot of things in the structure, the way we do things, the way we want the players to behave,” Amorim explained. “We are improving, so let’s continue and forget a little bit about the past.”
Ruben Amorim trying to restore the club's identity. He took it in stride, sure that time would prove him right.
Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, says his team is “playing better and managing moments better” ahead of their clash with Tottenham. Spurs have beaten United four times in a row, including the Europa League final in May, but Amorim believes this time “feels different.”
Amorim says his team is playing with more confidence now, though he admits a little luck never hurts. United are unbeaten in their last four league matches, including a big 2–1 win over Liverpool.
He keeps the focus on what’s ahead, showing that Old Trafford is slowly shifting from chasing instant success to building something lasting.
