Amorim puts an end to indiscipline at MU
Ruben Amorim is trying to rebuild Manchester United by establishing iron discipline, ready to face challenges both on and off the pitch.
From his early days at Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim has affirmed his vision and working methods. He stressed that professionalism, both in lifestyle and on the pitch, is a prerequisite to bring the team back to the top.
Warning from the Portuguese coach
Ruben Amorim quickly held individual and group meetings with the entire team, sending a clear message: there was no room for indiscipline. Strict standards would be applied, and any unprofessional behavior would be dealt with severely.
Actions such as partying or missing training will no longer be tolerated. The move comes after stars such as Marcus Rashford and Casemiro were criticised for inappropriate off-field activities that damaged the team's image.
Disciplined but not aloof
Despite his strict discipline, Amorim is considered a coach who is approachable and knows how to connect with his players. This approach creates a positive atmosphere, helping players feel supported but not dare to cross the line.
A player shared:“Amorim was very approachable, but he never overlooked disciplinary errors.”
Initial pressure and rebuilding opportunity
This weekend’s match against Ipswich Town will be Amorim’s debut. He needs to quickly get the team out of crisis, when MU has only 15 points after 11 rounds, ranking 13th in the Premier League table.
However, the gap to the top is not too great, and with a leadership style that combines discipline and understanding, Ruben Amorim can bring about the change that Manchester United are waiting for.
To achieve that, MU stars need to learn to put the team's interests first, while adhering to the standards set by the new coach. This could be the foundation to help the team overcome difficult times, rebuild its identity and aim for future success.
