Manchester United Faces Scrutiny as Co-Owner Criticizes Squad Performance

Manager Ruben Amorim acknowledges underperformance and focuses on rebuilding confidence ahead of Europa League clash.

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe criticized the squad, labeling some players as overpaid and underperforming, while praising manager Ruben Amorim as an 'outstanding young manager.'
Amorim admitted that both he and his players are underperforming this season, with the team sitting 14th in the Premier League, 36 points behind leaders Liverpool.
United's scoring struggles have persisted, with the team ranking 17th in shot conversion and key strikers Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee combining for only five league goals this season.
The team is preparing for the second leg of their Europa League last-16 match against Real Sociedad, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, but will miss key defenders Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro.
Plans for a new 100,000-seat stadium costing £2 billion were unveiled, but Amorim emphasized his focus remains on improving results this season to secure Champions League qualification.
