Luke Shaw Backs Ruben Amorim’s Transformation at Manchester United
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has expressed his support for Ruben Amorim’s efforts to change the team’s culture, calling it “toxic” in the past. Shaw backs the Portuguese coach’s decision to sideline players who do not meet the club’s demands.
Shaw highlighted that Amorim is committed to raising standards at Old Trafford, especially after United’s worst season in over 50 years. The English player revealed that the 40-year-old coach has made it clear that those who do not meet his expectations will be out of the team.
Mindset is a recurring theme for him. Ruben demands 100% and wants nothing less. If someone is at 85 or 90%, it’s not enough for him.

Marcus Rashford has been loaned to Barcelona, while Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia have been excluded from the pre-season tour of the United States.
Furthermore, Amorim has highlighted that the new signings, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, were selected primarily due to their strong desire to play for the club. Shaw commented that “there are no laggards in this group” and praised the coach’s determination.
Shaw also highlighted the importance of experienced players raising their demands on a daily basis, both in training and in punctuality, to meet the coach’s demands. The player stated that the players fully support Amorim and his ideas.
Amorim is under pressure after United finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final against Tottenham. The tour of the United States is considered an opportunity for both players and staff to reset before the new season.
Shaw, the player with the most years at United, promised to support the coach’s efforts to raise the standards within the team.
