United boss insists substitutes must see themselves as “game-changers” and abandon the culture of frustration from the Ten Hag era.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear that Manchester United’s bench will play a decisive role in his plans this season. The new United manager has urged his players to embrace a culture shift, moving away from the frustration and disillusionment that often surrounded squad rotation during Erik ten Hag’s tenure.
According to reports, Amorim has warned against sulking and made it clear that substitutes must view themselves as game-changers, not sidelined figures. He wants every player—whether starting or on the bench—to recognize their importance in shaping the outcome of matches.
> “This season, the difference will come from those who step in at the right moment. We need players who accept responsibility, not those who dwell on disappointment,” Amorim is understood to have told his squad.
United fans have welcomed this stance, highlighting the need for a collective mentality and a winning culture that stretches beyond the starting XI. With squad depth stronger than in previous years, Amorim’s approach could prove crucial in long competitions across the Premier League, Champions League, and domestic cups.
The message is clear: at Manchester United under Amorim, every player counts—and sulking won’t be tolerated.
