Man Utd Suffers Worst Season Since 1973 Under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United endured their worst season since the 1973-74 relegation campaign under manager Ruben Amorim, finishing 15th in the Premier League with 16 defeats and a trophyless run ending in a Europa League final loss to Tottenham. Amorim candidly revealed his dread of traveling to matches last season, as he anticipated the team's struggles and lack of competitiveness, which caused him significant frustration and self-doubt. Despite the challenges, Amorim has expressed optimism about the club's future, emphasizing cultural changes and a clear recruitment strategy aimed at building a stronger squad. Over the summer, United invested approximately £130 million in three new players, including forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, whom Amorim praised for their talent and character—qualities he felt the team lacked previously. He stressed that while talent is essential, character and the right mentality are critical to the club's resurgence. Amorim hopes these foundations will enable United to compete for major trophies again and intends to remain in his role long-term to achieve these goals.
