Manchester United head coach Rúben Amorim had a rough time as the English Premiership season concluded on Saturday with his side sitting in the 15th position – the worst season in decades, for one of the successful football clubs in the world.
The red devils ended the 2024/25 campaign at home with a 2-0 win against Aston Villa denying the visitors a Champions League qualification spot, collecting only 42 points and a 10 goal deficit.
Protest songs against Manchester United’s ownership greeted the final whistle, even if supporters had been treated to a rare home success. And after the match, Amorim who joined the club on 1st November 2024 was apologetic but said he expected the result;
Rúben Amorim’s speech to Man United fans:
“I want to apologise for this season. I am really disappointed with the team.
Secondly, I want to say thank you. We are very grateful for your support over the season. I know it was very hard in many games.
Now we have to make a choice. Do we get stuck in the past, because this season is in the past, it is over?
We fight each other or we stick together and move forward?
Six months ago, I said the storm is coming. Today, after this disaster season, I want to tell you that the good days are coming.
If there is one club in the world that has proved in the past that they can overcome any situation or disaster, it is our club. It is Manchester United football club.
Thank you very much – see you next season.”
