Ruben Amorim Responds to Cristiano Ronaldo's Criticism of Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has addressed the recent criticism from former club star Cristiano Ronaldo regarding his leadership and the team's overall direction. In an interview, Ronaldo expressed concern about United's struggles, particularly highlighting the need for improvement and the challenges faced since his departure.

Amorim, who took charge of United in November 2024, acknowledged that the club has made mistakes in the past but emphasized the importance of focusing on future progress rather than dwelling on previous failures. He stated, "We know as a club we made a lot of mistakes in the past. We are trying to change that. Let's not focus on what happened [in the past]."

Ronaldo had noted that while some players at United possess talent, others lack the mentality required to succeed at the club. He remarked that Amorim is "doing his best" but added that expecting miracles is unrealistic. This sentiment reflects Ronaldo's ongoing connection to the club, which he described as being close to his heart, despite its current struggles.

United's recent form has shown signs of improvement, with three wins in their last four league matches, including a significant victory against Liverpool. However, they are still recovering from a disappointing last season, where they finished 15th in the Premier League, their worst performance in decades.

Amorim's management style has come under scrutiny as he works to establish a winning mentality and rebuild the squad. As the team prepares for upcoming matches, including a crucial clash against Tottenham, the manager's ability to address the concerns raised by Ronaldo and drive the team forward will be essential for success. The focus now shifts to maintaining momentum and continuing to improve as they aim for higher standings in the league.
