AFCON 2025
After Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim spoke from the heart, apologizing to fans for a rough season that saw the club finish 15th in the Premier League.
Fresh off a Europa League final loss to Tottenham in Bilbao, Amorim asked supporters to come together and look ahead.
“First of all, I want to apologise for this season,” he said after the game.
“I know you are really disappointed in me and in the team. I want to say thank you, we are very grateful for your support during the season, and I know it was really hard to support us in many games.
“But now we have to make a choice, or we stay stuck in the past because this season is in the past — it’s over. We fight each other, or we stick together and move forward.”
Amorim, who left Sporting CP to replace Erik ten Hag in November, reminded fans of his early warning. “Six months ago, in my first three games in charge, with two victories and one draw, I said to you, ‘the storm is coming,’” he said.
“Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you the good days are coming. If there is one club in the world that proves in the past that it can overcome any situation, any disaster, it is our club, Manchester United Football Club.”
