Ruben Amorim says Manchester United players taking constant criticism ‘personally’

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said the club players are taking constant criticism personally, which is leading to their downfall. The Red Devils haven’t been at their best in the ongoing season as they have failed to come up with a collective effort.

Manchester United is currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings with eight wins, six draws, and 12 losses. 

United players received heavy criticism for their first half performance against Everton as they conceded twice before bouncing back in the second half to share a point.

“They feel the pressure that they need to win at Manchester United and every time we lose and every time they don’t perform there are a lot of people on social media and in the newspaper they are putting on a lot of pressure,” said Amorim.

“Then they go to the pitch and try to fix things but not in a good way — thinking too much, not playing the way they’re supposed to play.

“The other people are talking about them all the time — all their friends, social media, former players — and they take it so personally and sometimes it’s really hard for them to turn things around.”

On Monday it was announced 200 club staff are set to be made redundant. The Portuguese manager said the players suffer a different kind of pressure.

“I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but the players don’t feel it too much, they have one life, they live in a bubble,” he said. “It’s completely different for them than it is for me, for everybody in the club.

“They are not feeling that pressure [connected to redundancies]. They don’t feel that pressure of people losing their job, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing — they are young kids that live in a different world — but they suffer a different pressure and sometimes it’s harder.”

Manchester United will take on Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
