Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim criticized a perceived "feeling of entitlement" within the club, citing social media posts from academy players Harry Amass and Chido Obi as examples. The posts followed Amorim's comments about Amass's struggles at Sheffield Wednesday and Obi's inconsistent starting position for United's under-21s. Amorim defended his direct approach, stating that "strong words are not bad words" and that constant praise isn't always beneficial. He emphasized the need for a culture change at Manchester United, where players sometimes forget the significance of representing the club. Amorim made these remarks at a pre-match news conference on Friday, ahead of their Sunday game against Aston Villa.
