Amorim warns Manchester United players about competition
Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's head coach, has made it clear that no player is safe in the squad. He spoke about this two months ago, emphasizing that every player must fight for their place in the team. In a recent press conference before facing Arsenal in the FA Cup, Amorim pointed out that player positions are up for grabs. He noted that selections may vary, highlighting how Manu Ugarte is currently playing more than Casemiro. "It depends how they train and play," Amorim said about team choices. Amorim stressed that players are not just competing for titles but also for their futures with the team. He explained that consistency in performance is essential and mentioned that some players need to improve their aggression and defensive skills during matches. Despite some promising signs from United, the team currently sits in 13th place in the Premier League. There is a pressing need for changes, especially before the summer transfer window. Winning the Europa League is seen as the only way to salvage the season, but even that may not save certain players from being let go. Amorim has been closely monitoring his squad since he took over in November. He likely has a list of players he wants to retain or let go. Fans may see some unpopular departures this summer, including veteran players like Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof. The club aims to offload several players, with Amorim reiterating that the current squad must fight for their positions as changes loom on the horizon.
