Manchester United’s dressing room got a frank talk from manager Ruben Amorim. After their recent 2-0 Premier League win against Sunderland, the Portuguese coach praised his team’s performance. But he also told them it was time to stop playing “heart attack” football. He made it clear this chaotic style was the main reason they hadn’t managed a proper winning run yet.
A source close to the club shared details with The Sun. They explained Amorim told players that while fans might enjoy a bit of drama, he certainly didn’t. He was genuinely pleased with how they handled the Sunderland game. He felt the team delivered a professional display. This was a welcome change from some of the nail-biting matches this season and last, which often felt like they were giving everyone heart attacks.
Amorim pointed out that this exhausting style was precisely why they struggled to string victories together. These games, he noted, were mentally draining for everyone involved. That mental fatigue, he explained, was causing problems on the field. What he truly wanted, he stressed, were mature performances. He sought a calmer, more controlled approach from his squad.
Despite a challenging start to the season, Ruben Amorim still has full backing from the Red Devils’ top brass. Co-owner Jim Ratcliffe has personally confirmed this support. Ratcliffe recently emphasized his expectation for the 40-year-old manager to prove his worth over the next three years. It seems Amorim’s push for stability aligns with the club’s long-term vision.
