“We have to improve everything”. This was the essence of Ruben Amorim’s answer to what needs to be done at Manchester United. This came in an interview with Sky Sports after the city derby, which is supposed to be one of the highlights of the year, but which the home supporters at Old Trafford barely managed to stay awake during. Ratcliffe has previously blamed an entire United squad loaded with overpaid “dead weight”. When we listen to Ruben Amorim analyse the situation at Manchester United, we don’t understand how the club will rise next season.
Yes, Amorim will get a full pre-season, but with extensive changes in the squad, this could be a situation similar to that of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, who a few seasons ago brought in so many new players that the coaches barely had time to learn the names before the start of the season.

We love a coach like Ruben Amorim who is completely honest without constantly defending when the club is struggling, but this honesty also tells of a situation at Manchester United that gives no reason for optimism for the 2025/26 season.
“We want to become competitive in a short period of time. But to become that, you have to be able to dominate against all opponents, and that’s going to take a long time. Right now it’s very tough every day, but of course you can imagine that it will be very different next season. We are suffering a lot now, which is why I always say that we are in a hurry. We have to show something in the next year, as quickly as possible,” the United manager told the English media.

Will take time… We are in a hurry. We have to show something, as soon as possible after the summer.
To us, this does not sound like a starting point with a happy ending.
