Amorim set to address crowd after final home game vs Villa to issue a public apology after a horrific season.
After Manchester United’s season-ending home game, Ruben Amorim set to publicly apologise to the supporters on the field; however, the head coach said that he has no idea how long it will take the team to contend for the top spot once more. The players will make a lap of honour at Old Trafford as United plays Aston Villa on Sunday to end a miserable season without a trophy and maybe in 17th position.
Amorim has led the team to six Premier League wins in his 26 games since taking over in November, but he maintains that the team is in better shape now than it was before he took over. If Tottenham performs better on Sunday, United would end the season one spot above the relegation zone.
“An apology is clear. An explanation, you don’t have time,” Amorim said of his planned speech. “I will be honest with the fans and I will say what is in my mind and what is in my heart.”
Amorim said of the lap of honour: “It’s tradition and we have to face it. It will be the biggest mistake if we don’t do that. I know that the manager addresses the public, I will do that because it’s the minimum. The least I can do is to talk with the fans and to say what I want to say. I will decide tomorrow, I have an idea, so we will do that because if there is a season that we need to do it, it’s this one, and of course we will be there.”
“Things can change fast,” he said. “But to reach the kind of level that we need to be as Manchester United is going to take time. But I cannot say how many windows, how many years we need to reach that point. But we can improve. That is clear.”
