Ruben Amorim Is 'very Excited' About Where 14th-place Man United Can Go In 2025
Despite his team entering 2025 in 14th place in the Premier League, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is "very excited" about the year ahead.
United's 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle on Monday saw it suffer five league losses in the same calendar month for the first time since September 1962, and a fourth straight reverse in all competitions means the Red Devils have lost six of their last eight.
But in a message posted on his club's official X account on New Year's Eve , Amorim wrote: "I know it will take a lot of hard work from everyone to get there, but I am very excited about where we can go together in 2025."
Amorim is yet to halt the alarming slide which led to Erik ten Hag's dismissal in October, and his team is seven points above the drop zone with increasing talk of a relegation fight, including by Amorim himself who has called it "a possibility."
But the Portuguese says he's determined to press on with the 3-4-3 system despite the difficulties United's squad has had in adapting.
