Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has stressed the need for better player signings to stop the club’s decline. Since taking over in November, the Portuguese coach has struggled to turn things around, with the team currently sitting in 15th place in the Premier League. Speaking to the media, Amorim admitted that poor transfer decisions have hurt the team and said smarter choices are necessary.
Better Recruitment Needed to Fix Man Utd – Amorim
“We need to improve,” Amorim said. “Good recruitment is crucial. We have to build a stronger team, perform better, and be in European competitions, not where we are now.” His comments echo the concerns of fans and experts who have criticized United for spending large sums on players who haven’t performed as expected. Poor transfers have been a big reason for the club’s struggles on the pitch.
Amorim was brought in to bring stability and a fresh vision to Old Trafford, but the team’s continued poor form has increased the pressure on him. Despite the challenges, he remains focused on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. He wants future signings to be not just talented but also a good fit for the club’s playing style. He believes this approach is key to making United competitive again in both domestic and European football.
However, Amorim knows that words alone won’t convince fans and club officials. “Actions speak louder than words,” he said, stressing that better recruitment must lead to real improvements on the pitch. United’s struggles over the past decade have been linked to frequent managerial changes and poor squad planning, creating instability. Amorim hopes to change that by following a clear and effective recruitment strategy.
The manager also pointed out that past failures have cost many people their jobs at the club. “In football, when results don’t come, changes happen,” he acknowledged. This shows he understands the high expectations that come with managing one of the world’s biggest clubs. Rather than focusing only on short-term results, Amorim wants to fix the deeper issues affecting United.
With the January transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on United’s recruitment decisions. Amorim’s ability to bring in the right players while offloading underperforming ones could be a major factor in the team’s future success. If he gets it right, his vision for smarter transfers could be the key to restoring Manchester United as a top club again.
