Amorim said the latest staff redundancies "have a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team" because it has resulted in a loss of earnings. He described it as "a difficult period inside the club and on the pitch" but, as "the engine" of the club, the responsibility lies with them - the team.

Ruben Amorim admits everyone at Manchester United is being affected by INEOS’ continued cost-cutting measures. United announced on Monday a new “transformation plan” including a further 150 to 200 redundancies on top of previously announced job cuts designed to stem a steady stream of losses off the pitch.

Ruben Amorim admits he feels some responsibility for Manchester United's latest round of redundancies amid their ongoing struggles on the pitch.
