Man Utd’s Shaw backs Amorim’s challenge of ‘toxic’ dressing room

Luke Shaw, the defender for Manchester United, praised Ruben Amorim’s unwavering effort to raise standards in the dressing room, claiming that the atmosphere was “quite toxic” at times.

Amorim demanded more from the squad when he took over United, which was struggling in November. In addition, he froze out important players like Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, who were among the team’s five players looking to leave in the offseason.

In an interview with the BBC that was made available on Wednesday, Shaw, a United player since 2014, said, “A lot of the time I’ve been here over the last few years it’s been extremely negative.”

It can be incredibly toxic, she says. The environment is absolutely unhealthy. We require a healthy, positive, and positive environment with good energy and joy. You feel more free and more self-expression-filled when you have all those things.

Ruben “presents demands.” A lot of people have bad habits. He discusses it extensively. He demands nothing less than the absolute highest standard. It’s insufficient if someone is achieving an 85 to 90 percent. If you don’t do the right thing, you won’t play, especially this year, in my opinion.

Amorim was unyielding when he questioned Rashford’s work rate and said he preferred to have the goalkeeper coach than a sluggish starter.

Garnacho has been linked with a move to Chelsea or Aston Villa, despite reports in the British media that Rashford has signed for Barcelona on loan.

The manager doesn’t bother, the manager. He is unconcerned with the player’s identity. That is the way it ought to be. We must deliver whatever he wants, and we are fully committed to that, according to Shaw.
