What if Manchester United just wasn't entitled to happiness? The question is more than ever legitimate with regard to the English press this Friday morning, and this less than 48 hours after the victory of the Red Devils against Ipswich (3-2) on the 27th day of the Premier League. A success torn from the thread, in numerical, which could have allowed the teammates of André Onana, 14th in the standings, to breathe a few hours. It is ultimately nothing. In its edition of the day, the Daily Mail thus paints the portrait of a situation always as electric.
While the Director General Omar Berrada confirmed, earlier this week, that 200 staff members could lose their jobs in the coming weeks, the locker room begins to annoy himself strongly. The reason? The media outing more than discussed a certain Rúben Amorim. After the announcement of this news, the Portuguese technician has, in fact, pointed out his players, claiming that their inability to qualify for the Champions League and their bad form in the Premier League had led to these budget cuts.
The locker room annoys criticism
“We have to solve all the problems of the club, but an important element of this moment is to understand how we come to this situation. It has a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of any football club ”notably launched the former Sporting coach. An observation that did not really go into the Mancunian locker room… “If you were going to Carrington, you would think that players and Amorim get along very well, but the truth is that players are frustrated to be blamed for the club's financial problems. However, they have not challenged the manager because they have not yet bonded with him ”entrusted a source close to the club to the Sun.
And conclude: “They do what they are told, whether they think it's just or not … players have the impression that they cannot show dissatisfaction, otherwise it will become a problem”. A few minutes after the victory against Ipswich, Bruno Fernandes had already hinted that he and his teammates had doubts about their manager's tactics. “Me and Harry (Maguire) have been here for some time now, so we know that we have to stick to what we have trained, what we have tried to do, what we are supposed to do. We can feel at times that it does not work, but for one reason or another, the manager wants us to do this. If he wants us to do this, they (the adversaries) have observed us for many matches and are preparing. We have a large team. We have great people behind the team. We just have to enter the field and show it ”.
