Reuben Amorim has admitted that he and the first team must be responsible for Manchester United's failures and that employees must be held accountable as a redundant soccer club.
Minority owner Ir Jim Ratcliffe removes another 200 staff role at Old Trafford as part of a cost-cutting exercise to address years of economic mismanagement and return it to a stiffer footing I plan to do so.
Performance on the pitch essentially added to the financials at key clubs, United's struggle in the league and the issues that have been exacerbated by a record of poor recruitment after failing to qualify for the Champions League last season.
Certainly, Amorim's problems have increased alongside Amado Diallo to miss the rest of the season as ankle injuries were picked up in training. The setback is likely to mean a long layoff for Ivory Coast International, where his recent contributions have contributed, scoring six goals in the last 14 games. Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collier were also injured in training this week, leaving Amorim with a rare option in the middle.
Amorim turned the boat around on Sunday, and United struggled to travel to Tottenham. This is the fixture that has won a total of five games in the past 22 leagues, with the 13th weekend.
Asked if morale was low among club staff, Amorim said: People are losing their jobs, so we have to admit it, and the biggest problem is football. Because we spend money, we're not winning, we're not in the Champions League, so our income is not the same.
“We spent a lot of money in the past, but now we need to be careful about our finances. We can't rebuild our team the way we want it to. People are losing their jobs, but of course, , it is difficult for people to have a sense of safety in their work, and it affects the environment. We cannot ignore it, we acknowledge that problem, I am responsible for the first team I would like to say that.
“We have to change that. The first part, what we should do is win at Tottenham. It's a small thing to help these people and not make ticket prices go high. It's a step. We're responsible for that.”
After Ratcliffe's investment, 250 employees left United with original redundancy last fall and winter, and now co-owners are trying to lower staffing levels even further.

The club's financial issues make it difficult to plan long-term in key areas such as recruiting players. Patrick Dorg, 20, was his only winter arrival, costing him the first £25.2 million. There is an agreement that United should sell players before investing in new players that fit Amorim's 3-4-3 formation.
The head coach has brought the same strategies that serve him in the sport, but those he inherited at Old Trafford have not yet thrived in the system. “I think that's going to be a weakness in that moment,” Amorim said of sticking to his principles. “But you have to believe in something and stick to it. We feel like we're focused a lot on the system, but the way we want to play the system is what we're doing now and is completely different. We are trying to improve it.”
United support Amorim's methods and demonstrates his faith in his carefully constructed philosophy. The Portuguese is trying to find a consistent team to play the way he wants, so time is needed when it comes to improving performance and results.
