“We Deserve the Criticism” – Man United Boss Ruben Amorim Responds to Roy Keane’s Harsh Verdict
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has responded to stinging criticism from former club captain Roy Keane, who recently labelled the current United squad “a disgrace” for their dismal Premier League campaign.
Speaking ahead of United’s weekend clash with West Ham, Amorim showed no defensiveness—instead, he acknowledged the legendary midfielder’s high standards and admitted the Red Devils have fallen short.
“We are trying to do our best, but I agree we can do better,” Amorim said in his post-match press conference.
“I don’t have anything to say about the criticism, because we deserve it… the standards of Roy Keane and all these other guys are really high.”
With United languishing in 15th place and enduring their worst-ever Premier League season, Amorim’s comments reflect a manager aware of the gravity of the situation. Still, the Portuguese tactician reminded critics that his choices are rooted in what’s best for the club—not just for himself.
“I have to make a choice – what is the best for the club, not what is the best for me,” he added.
💬 OPINION: When Legends Speak, the Walls Tremble – But Maybe It’s Time for Patience
Roy Keane’s words sting, but they echo the frustration of millions of fans. United—once feared giants—are now barely surviving in the lower half of the table. Yet, it’s also fair to acknowledge that rebuilds are messy, and Amorim inherited a wounded squad.
If football has taught us anything, it’s that growth isn’t linear. While criticism is fair—especially at a club with Manchester United’s heritage—Amorim’s honesty and refusal to make excuses may be the first green shoots of a much-needed culture shift.
The Europa League final against Tottenham might just be the redemption story fans need.
🏟️ Old Trafford may be dim now, but every rebuild starts in the shadows.
