Ruben Amorim apologises to Man United fans in his end of the season speech at Old Trafford | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim publicly apologised to fans at Old Trafford following the team’s final match of the season, a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Despite the win, United concluded the Premier League campaign in 15th place, marking their worst finish in over 50 years.

A recent Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur ensured the club would miss out on European competition next season.

In his post-match address, Amorim acknowledged the team’s underperformance and expressed gratitude to the supporters for their unwavering loyalty throughout a challenging season.

He emphasised the importance of unity moving forward, stating that while the season was disappointing, it’s now in the past, and the focus should shift to rebuilding and progress.

“First of all, I want to apologise for this season,” he said, as reported by Sky Sports.

“I know you are very disappointed with me and with the team. I want secondly to say thank you. We are very grateful for your support during the season, which I know was really bad.

“Now we have to make a choice or we stay stuck in the past because this season is in the past. We fight each other or we stick together and move forward.

“Six months ago in my first three games in charge, with two victories and one draw I said the storm is coming. Today, after this disaster season, I want to tell you the good days are coming.

“If there is one club that prove in the past that can overcome any situation, any disaster, it is our club it is Manchester United. Now I want to say also to my players that sometimes I was not fair but I try always to be honest to you guys.”

He remains committed to leading the team into the next season, with expectations of significant changes within the squad to address the issues faced during the campaign.

Man United have a big summer coming up with a lot of changes expected in terms of personnel.

Transfer targets have been already identified and now it depends on the club and the recruitment staff to take them over the line.

Alejandro Garnacho is expected to leave the club this summer in a major overhaul of the squad.
