Ruben Amorim Admits Manchester United Need to Reset After Dismal Season as 3 Players Exit
Ruben Amorim Manchester United 2025 – Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has confessed that both he and the squad are desperate to “turn the page” after what has been one of the worst seasons in the club’s recent history. Speaking ahead of United’s post-season match in Hong Kong on Friday, Amorim highlighted the emotional toll of their recent failures, both domestically and in Europe.
The Red Devils suffered a humiliating defeat to an ASEAN All-Stars XI in Malaysia earlier this week—just days after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. That loss not only added another blow to their trophyless season but also cost them a spot in next year’s Champions League. United ultimately finished 15th in the Premier League, marking their worst league finish in over five decades.
Despite the disappointment, the tour through Asia—which is expected to earn the club around £8 million—serves as an opportunity to reconnect with the global fanbase.
“We want to give something to the fans, but it’s hard in this moment—we just want to turn the page and improve next season,” Amorim stated at Thursday’s press conference in Hong Kong. “At Manchester United, it’s important to show our faces, especially when things go wrong. Our fans deserve that.”

As part of the tour’s logistics and broader engagement efforts, three senior players—Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, and Andre Onana—have flown to India for a separate fan event and will miss the Hong Kong match. Additionally, Luke Shaw is unavailable due to injury.
Amorim is expected to rotate the squad again, incorporating a blend of youth and experience.
“I won’t put all the young players in at once,” he said. “We want to stay competitive and show maximum respect for our hosts and our fans.”

To add insult to injury, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who attended the match in Kuala Lumpur, took to social media to mock the club’s ongoing struggles.
“Oh no! Manchester United failed to win a trophy again,” he wrote on Facebook. “Looks like you guys are going to have a ‘headache’ next season. Hopefully, you don’t get relegated to the Championship.”
With the 2024-2025 season behind them, both Amorim and United fans will be hoping that the coming months bring serious restructuring—and better results.
