It was revealed that Amorim was dissatisfied with the attitude of Manchester United players, and he couldn't revive just buying people! 491 interviews were physically and mentally exhausted

After witnessing United's 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham United, boss Ruben Amorim was disappointed to say he could give up his chance to the Reds if that form continues next season. Although there is still a chance to change the outcome of the season by winning the Europa League final, the 40-year-old Portuguese coach is exhausted after only half a season in charge of the team.

Not only inwardly, but also in Amorim's body. After the break in the 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao, the Manchester United boss was spotted with a scar on his left hand, suspected to have been picked up while furious in the dressing room. In the previous home defeat to Brighton, he had broken the large TV screen used to analyse the game.

United seized their chances in the second half and came back from behind to win 4-1, with Amorim in the dugout smiling a rare smile. But those smiles didn't last long, and back in the Premier League, Amorim was hit again, being beaten twice by West Ham, Lenny Yoro went off injured, and the 40-year-old Portuguese slapped hard against the red brick wall in front of the Old Trafford dugout, using his uninjured right hand, before licking the index and middle fingers of his right hand......

British media revealed that Amorim is deeply concerned about a number of players attitude on the squad. This may not be news, with Marcus Rashford on loan due to attitude issues, Garnacho being dropped on account of attitude, and the Red Devils and many more players who have been repeatedly criticised by fans.

Amorim has hinted that instilling the right mindset in United's dressing room could be more important than signing players this summer. "There are some things that we can't change through transfers." 'That's the atmosphere of the club, our dedication to the club, the feeling of really not tolerating losing a game. It doesn't matter if we lose at home now, that has to change. Don't just focus on transfers, it's a problem that goes deeper than just changing players."

The United boss added: 'We need to address this and I'm doing that. It may not be visible to outsiders, but we're changing a lot of things about Carrington, including the way we work here, the code of conduct we have to follow at the club, and the Academy's links with the first team. All these things behind the scenes, we're trying to figure out. We need to forget about the Europa League final and try to be better against Chelsea because there is a lot to improve on.'

But when asked when he realised something was wrong with Manchester United, Amorim said: 'I can't say exactly when, but when you see something, you see the way we play, you feel that way. Then again, I'm not pressuring the players, I'm responsible. It's hard to find other words to describe it, I'm really embarrassed that something went wrong with the way we played. We were very impressed by West Ham, who had just won against Athletic Bilbao and had a chance to keep the momentum going. We've had that a couple of times this season and we've lost. I want to solve the problem and it's another opportunity for Chelsea to perform well and show what we can do.'

It's not just the mental level of the players, but also the level of many Manchester United players who are not up to the standard of playing for the club. Former Manchester United striker coach Benny McCarthy has revealed that Hojlund, who was brought in for £72 million, was not considered by the coaching staff to be the leading scorer from the start. The players they wanted at the time were Harry Kane, Osimhen or even Kolo Muani, but none of them were bought. In order to solve the problem of not scoring points, the club's "solution" was to buy another Zirkze who was not the number nine.

Now that United need to rebuild again, Amorim made it clear this week: "I've spoken to the board and I have a clear feeling that I know this team needs to be so much better. We need to be really strong this summer, and we need to be braver."

Cup competitions are a fluency, and it is widely accepted that the truest measure of a team is their league performance, and United are currently 16th in the Premier League, losing 17 games, scoring just 42 goals and achieving a goal difference of -11, all of which are the worst in history.

The Manchester Evening News reports that only five players are fully endorsed by Manchester United fans: Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Yoro and Amad Diallo. As for the rest of the players, even if most of them leave, the fans will not complain.

But Amorim's workload is not limited to the pitch and squad, with the Daily Mail reporting that he has given close to 500 interviews since taking charge in November. Specifically, the number of interviews was 491, which is quite a staggering number (mind-blowing). Amorim officially took office on 11 November last year, and it has only been 183 days until yesterday, which means the United boss has been interviewing an average of almost three times a day!
