Under the leadership of head coach Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s performances have yet to reach the desired level, with the manager openly acknowledging that the team remains a work in progress.

Amorim has emphasized that the squad currently lacks the depth and readiness to manage the additional demands of UEFA Champions League football. He believes the focus must remain on continued development before the team can realistically compete on multiple fronts.

What did the Portuguese coach say?

Speaking recently to the media, Ruben Amorim was candid about what he needs to be in this season's competitions to be able to compete in European competition next season.

“I think we weren't ready to play in Europe, that's my feeling. To compete in tough Champions League matches and then play in the Premier League, we need time to grow as a team".Amorim said.

“The games are really competitive. We need time to build a foundation and then move forward. We'll reach a point where European participation is essential for all players to get experience”.Amorim added.
