Manchester United: Ruben Amorim criticizes ‘sense of entitlement’ at Premier League club

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim condemned the “sense of entitlement” at the club and said players should use criticism and difficult moments as fuel to prove him wrong.

Amorim this week encountered a ‘Free Kobbie Mainoo’ T-shirt worn by the midfielder’s half-brother, in response to the England star’s frequent absences from the starting line-up.

The two young men, Harry Abass and Chido Obi, posted pictures on social media, then deleted them, highlighting their achievements after Amorim indicated last week that they were not in good condition.

Club legends Rio Ferdinand, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes said Maino would be better off leaving the club.

But Amorim feels this is the wrong approach. His thinking is more in line with that of former captain Roy Keane, who says Maino should break into Amorim’s plans.

“There is a sense of entitlement we have at our club,” he said in a press conference on Friday.

“Sometimes, difficult moments are not a bad thing for children. We don’t always need accolades for everything. We don’t help.

“For now, they are [players] Speak and go against the club because they feel entitled. Then we have the club mythology that says ‘if you don’t play, leave, because everyone is wrong’.

“No. Let’s stay. Let’s fight. Let’s conquer. My office door is open. This is how we can work things out.” [but] No one will come to talk to me.”
