Ruben Amorim has responded to social media activity from Manchester United's Harry Amass and Chido Obi, suggesting that

a sense of 'entitlement' is hindering the club's players.

Amorim's comments come after he downplayed concerns about his willingness to use academy players, noting that Amass is

'struggling in the Championship' and Obi 'is not always a starter in under 21s.'

Following Amorim's assessment, Amass, currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, posted a picture of himself holding the

club's Player of the Month award, which he later deleted. Obi, who has been sidelined with an injury, shared a photo

celebrating a goal for United's Under-21s.

Addressing the players' responses, Amorim stated on Friday: "I think it is a little bit the feeling of entitlement we

have in our club."

He continued, emphasizing the value of challenges: "Sometimes, strong words is not bad words. Sometimes, difficult

moments are not bad things for the kids. We don’t need to be always with accolades in everything, in every situation."

Amorim believes this sense of entitlement contributes to players challenging clubs and managers. He contrasted this with

club legends who advise players to leave if they aren't playing, advocating instead for perseverance and

self-reflection.

"So, I have that feeling all the time that we need to fight against this feeling," Amorim explained. He admitted his own

shortcomings, saying, "Sometimes, I’m the first one to say I’m failing this club inside the pitch. I have that feeling,

we are not performing the way we should be. But outside the pitch, I guarantee I am not failing this club."

He added: "We talk about the players sometimes forget what it means to play for Manchester United, we as a club

sometimes forget who we are and that is the feeling I have."

Amorim acknowledged the influence of the environment and the players' perspectives. He expressed disappointment that

players felt more comfortable responding with pictures than discussing issues directly: "They feel free to respond to

the manager with a picture. My office is open, nobody is coming to talk to me and that is the way we can solve things.

So, I think we need to change first as a club and then everything is going to change."

Concluding, Amorim clarified his intent: "I didn’t say nothing wrong, I just spoke about how the luck of playing for

Manchester United... you understand that football can be so different, and that you are really lucky to be in Manchester

United. That was my point but, again, let’s move on and in time I think these things will change."
