Manchester United legend David May has thrown his total backing for Ruben Amorim’s decision to cut players who are not completely devoted to the club.
Targeting well-known names like Marcus Rashford, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Alejandro Garnacho, Amorim has taken a hardline stance this summer.
Some players, in the Portuguese manager’s opinion, are more concerned with ego than with work.
A major component of United’s treble-winning team in 1999, May appreciates Amorim’s nonsensical approach. He asserts that the manager is precisely what the club needs at this pivotal point.
According to him, attitude is as crucial as skill. The former Burnley right-back says that players have to fight for the badge and honor the legacy of the club.
He didn’t hold back; some stars just have to go. He attacked individuals who display grievances on social media rather than talking personally with the boss.
The 55-year-old stressed how eloquent body language is. He would prefer to watch mediocre players give all than see gifted ones coast through games.
He also revealed a personal letter he gave Amorim. The United chief allegedly told May that by not producing results he is betraying supporters. The Englishman reassured him that fans totally support his idea.
The Portuguese gaffer thinks nothing will change at Old Trafford until the team’s attitude changes. And in May’s eyes, that attitude change cannot arrive swiftly enough.
