Everyone points to everyone on the day of the failure of the season that Manchester United have just put behind them. Manager Ruben Amorim, who surprisingly still has a job to go to, is also responsible for a lot of Peking.
Ruben Amorim has admitted that Manchester United need to “get the recruitment right” in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The RedDevils did not secure a Champions League place after a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final last Wednesday, and they will not participate in any European Cup games next season due to poor Premier League performances.
Amorim’s side have only secured six wins in 26 games since his arrival in November, and they have not won in eight straight league games. As a result, INEOS is poised for a major rebuild this summer. – The start of their Asia tour was no better where they lost to a randomly composed team. – The second game against HongKong went better.
Players on their way out
Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelöf and Christian Eriksen will all leave the club as Bosman players, while Man Utd are in the process of selling Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony.
Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee and Casemiro have also been linked with a permanent departure from Old Trafford ahead of the 2025/26 season due to the club’s financial challenges.

New arrivals heading into
United are close to a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha after agreeing to trigger his €74 million clause. They are also holding advanced talks with Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap in their quest for a reliable number nine.
Amorim’s brutal realism
Without European Cup games, United could struggle to attract star players this summer. After years of lavish transfers and limited success, Amorim emphasizes the need to get it right this time:
What has Amorim said?
Before United’s last Premier League game against Aston Villa, Amorim admitted:
- “We have to get the recruitment right, that’s for sure. Some players got the chance here, but only flourished after leaving. It can happen. We have to look at the team, think a style of play and put the right players in place to improve.”
He added:
- “I don’t regret coming, but I suffer like all United fans when I see the challenges. The problems are deeper than I thought – it concerns the stability of the entire club. All departments change, and in the course of six months we have had to do everything again. Even if the results don’t show it, we’re in a better position now.”
Amorim concluded with a realistic assessment:
- “This is not just about transfer windows. Sometimes we simply don’t know. To reach the level Manchester United should be at, it will take time – I can’t say how many windows or years, but we can improve. That’s for sure.”
Amorim’s honest approach underlines the scale of United’s challenges. As the club prepares for a major upheaval, it becomes clear that success does not come overnight – no matter how brutally hard the work may be.
