Shaw backs Amorim approach to ‘toxic’ Man Utd culture

Luke Shaw, the defender for Manchester United, supports Ruben Amorim’s hard-line policy to change the club’s “toxic” and “unhealthy” culture.

After United lost to Tottenham in the Europa League title game in May, Shaw questioned whether he and his teammates were capable enough to represent the club. Gary Neville criticized him for making these remarks.

Looking back, Shaw claimed that his damning assessment was brought on by a combination of his own suffering as he battled the crushing defeat, which gave United no chance of advancing to the top 15th-placed Premier League title race.

Amorim decided to raise standards in the dressing room while also excluding Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the lineup.

From the outside, Shaw said, “It’s not difficult to see what it’s been like.”

“Over the past few years, my experience here has been incredibly negative,” he said.

The environment is not healthy at all, as they say, and it can be quite toxic. We require a healthy, positive, and positive environment with good energy and joy. You feel more free and more self-expression-expressing when you have all of those.

“Ruben makes demands,” A lot of people have bad habits. He discusses it extensively.

Shaw, 30, claims that his own message needs to be reinforced by United’s senior players.

He said, “The more experienced ones need to be demanding more, day in, day out.”

“The training levels, keeping to the times when we’re doing this or that, making sure nobody arrives late.

The manager doesn’t care, the manager says. He is unconcerned with the player’s identity. That is the way it ought to be. We must deliver whatever he desires as players, and we are fully committed to that.

In his assessment, Shaw did not mention United’s “bomb squad” of Rashford, Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, and Antony, and he did not blame them entirely for the injuries they caused, four of whom were unavailable for the second half of last season.

The England defender claimed in a separate conversation at a Premier League game in Chicago that “no stragglers are in this group any more” and that Amorim had made it clear that “everyone needs to put the team first.”

However, Amorim’s longest-serving player feels that the club’s final defeat in Bilbao left everyone in his squad uncertain about what the future holds.

He said, “I wouldn’t say I regret what I said, but right after the game, your head is hot, you say things and don’t think about it.”

We have to be open and honest about how many people, both after that final and after that year, were unaware of how the upcoming season would turn out. None of us had the necessary talent.
