The team seeks to recover from its worst season in more than half a century.\n\nManchester United&#8217;s performance in the previous season, culminating in 15th place in the league, represented their lowest position since their relegation to the second division in 1974.\n\nThe pre-season victories against West Ham and Bournemouth on the US tour have generated optimism about the direction the team is taking under Amorim&#8217;s management. Dalot emphasized that the most significant change is in the mentality within the locker room.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think we are creating a group that fights for each other.<\/p><cite>Diogo Dalot<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe coach made a strong statement before the trip to America by leaving out key players like Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0801%2Fr1526494_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\nMarcus Rashford, who was relegated last season after Amorim&#8217;s arrival in November, has also been authorized to join Barcelona on loan.\n\nLuke Shaw has already backed the coach&#8217;s stance, while Dalot pointed out that this is part of an effort to raise standards at Old Trafford.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He [Amorim] is very clear in his messages that you want to be part of the team or you can&#8217;t be here.<\/p><cite>Diogo Dalot<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nDalot added that the message is clear: if you start the preseason, it&#8217;s because the coach believes in you and in the group that needs to be there.\n\nFor a while, there was a possibility that Bruno Fernandes would not be part of Amorim&#8217;s team due to a lucrative offer from Al Hilal in June. However, the United captain rejected the opportunity to leave, and Dalot expressed his satisfaction with his Portugal teammate&#8217;s decision to stay in the renewed team.\n\nDalot says Fernandes&#8217;s stay sends a clear message of faith in the club&#8217;s future.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think there&#8217;s no better way to start a season than with your captain staying and believing that this can go in the right direction.<\/p><cite>Diogo Dalot<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe player concluded that this is a clear message for all teammates, urging them to believe and work hard to return Manchester United to the place it deserves.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diogo Dalot, Manchester United player, has highlighted the construction of a team characterized by unity and collective effort under the direction of Ruben Amorim.
