Amorim’s blunt approach will benefit Man Utd – De Ligt

Matthijs de Ligt, a defender for Manchester United, believes Ruben Amorim’s direct approach will pay off long-term.

Amorim has won some of the most bleak games for United in his short time as manager, despite finding it difficult to win since he left Sporting in November.

He claimed that his team was “probably the worst in Manchester United history” following their 3-1 home defeat at Brighton in January.

He declared in the wake of Tottenham’s Europa League defeat that he would leave without discussing compensation if the club’s management or supporters decided otherwise.

Amorim’s players were called “chokers” after their shocking defeat by a South-East Asia select XI on a recent post-season tour of Asia, according to Amorim.

De Ligt, who led Ajax to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, believes Amorim’s words are encouraging because of his nationality and the Dutch country’s reputation for blunt speaking.

“I understand that the media is shocked because this rarely occurs,” she said.

However, I believe you can also be relieved to finally hear someone speak out, express his opinions, and declare their views.

He speaks to me personally in particular, and I really appreciate that. I feel confident in him and confident in him, too.

United are suffering from their worst domestically since 1973-74.

Due to the Tottenham reverse, United missed out on European football and the financial benefits that come with it for the first time since English clubs returned to Uefa competition in 1990. As a result, United missed out on European football and the finances that come with it.

Amorim will be under a lot of pressure as the club prepares to launch its new campaign after only seven Premier League victories since leaving in November.

De Ligt believes that Amorim’s work with the first-team group will pay off.

He said, “I’ve worked with a lot of managers, and he’s one of the easiest to talk to as a player.”

He is very interested in details. Before signing new players, he first examines the culture, what needs to change, and what can be improved to improve. More of that will be available from the following season.

He claims that he wants to create a group of players who are fighting for one another and making the most of what they have.
