  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The 2024-25 campaign was a disaster at Old Trafford, with Amorim inheriting the reins from Erik ten Hag in November. He was unable to deliver a reversal in fortune, with United stumbling their way to a 15th place finish in the Premier League.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Heartache was also endured in the Europa League final, as the Red Devils came unstuck against Tottenham, and there will be no continental action on the agenda for 2025-26. United have, however, been able to bolster their ranks with the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

  • WHAT AMORIM SAID

    Amorim is confident that he can take United forward, with marginal gains set to serve them well. The Red Devils are leaving no stone unturned, with new regimes off the field being implemented during a pre-season tour of the United States.

    Amorim told MUTV: "I think are we better in every detail, in the organisation of the day-by-day. The nutrition is better, the way we cook, what we eat, how we prepare training. I think that we are more organised.

    "I think we have people now that help us to be better. I'm not concerned with small things and I was last year. So, those things help us and help me to think more about watching the game, watching the team. So it's a big help for me. When it's a big help for the technical staff, it's a big help for the players."

    Amorim added on managing his players behind the scenes: "It's completely different. These are some details. It’s not going to win games, but it’s going to help us win games. They [the players] stay more. Before, they ate, and they left right away. Now, they wait for each other. They stay longer, and you can feel it in the noise. It’s getting better."

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Everyone on United’s books is expected to buy into the new project, with Portuguese tactician Amorim saying: "I think the players are working really well and they understood that they need to give 100%. If they don't give that, it's going to be hard for them here. So, that is also important."

  • WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
