Ruben Amorim blames Manchester United players for recent job losses.


Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United's players must accept responsibility for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision to cut another 200 jobs because their failures on the pitch have caused the crisis at Old Trafford.

United, which laid off 250 people last year, announced a new redundancy program on Monday as it seeks to cut costs after losing £373 million over the last five years.

And head coach Amorim, whose side is only 15th in the Premier League, believes the team is the "engine" of the club, stating that they must figure out how they got into such a bad situation.

United have underperformed on the pitch in recent seasons, finishing eighth in the league last season under Erik ten Hag, and are in danger of failing to qualify for Europe from the current season.

And Amorim said, "We as a club have to understand what we did wrong to get into this situation, so we need to think about solutions right now.

"We have to address all the problems in the club but one important piece of this moment is to understand how we got to this situation and it has a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of any football club."


Amorim, who has only taken 15 points from his 15 league games in charge, admitted that it is difficult for players and staff to see their colleagues on the verge of unemployment, but urged his players to focus on getting results.

He added, "It's always difficult for everyone. They see friends and teammates losing their jobs, but we need to focus on what I can do to help the club right now. I just want to help the club in my department by improving the team and the players so that they can succeed.

"We know this year was extremely difficult for everyone. We made a lot of changes as a club, and having a football team that is playing well and winning games makes it easier for fans and everyone to believe that the changes are working. But we are currently in a difficult period within the club and on the pitch, so we must fight against this feeling and do our jobs to help the team perform better."

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
