MANCHESTER — Under-pressure Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has pledged to overhaul the club’s fortunes after a dismal domestic campaign, insisting he has a clear plan to fix the team despite acknowledging that their current form is “embarrassing” and “unacceptable.”
United slumped to a 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham on Sunday, a result that leaves the Red Devils languishing in 16th place in the Premier League with just six wins from 25 games.
Speaking candidly after the match, Amorim admitted the result was difficult to defend. “It’s hard to find another word,” he said. “I’m really embarrassed that in 25 games we’ve won six. Something is wrong.”
Ruben Amorim warning to Manchester United owners?: "We need to be really strong in the summer & to be brave. We will not have a next season like this. If we start like this or if the feeling is still here, we should give this space to a different person."pic.twitter.com/LeMeYEYLLt

While Amorim has guided United to the Europa League final, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak season, he made it clear that a deep cultural and mental shift is needed within the squad. “It’s not just about tactics or technique. It’s about how we face competition, how we protect the goal, how we get angry when we lose. That has to change.”
Despite the pressure mounting, Amorim remains adamant he has identified the necessary changes and has communicated his vision to the club’s leadership. “I talk with the board, with everybody and even with the fans,” he said. “I have a clear feeling of what this team needs to be better.”
Asked whether he might consider stepping aside next season if the struggles continue, Amorim didn’t rule it out but emphasized his current focus is on rebuilding and restoring pride at Old Trafford. “Our position is unacceptable. That’s not just about confidence, it’s about belief and understanding what it means to wear this badge.”
Amorim’s comments come amid growing frustration among fans and pundits alike, who have watched United slip dangerously close to the relegation zone. Once a dominant force in English football, the club now faces another summer of soul-searching and restructuring.
With the Europa League final looming and Premier League survival still not mathematically guaranteed, all eyes will be on Amorim to deliver results, or risk becoming another casualty in United’s revolving managerial door.
