After a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, recognizes the need to address the tense atmosphere at Old Trafford. He aims to foster a sense of unity between the fans and players, acknowledging the fans' frustration and weariness from recent years.
Manchester United 's players aren't likely to run to the Stretford End, arms linked with each other, after a draw any time soon, but Ruben Amorim 's post-match comments on Sunday struck a tone not too dissimilar to those of Jurgen Klopp when he first arrived at Liverpool in October 2015. Klopp quickly realised that he needed to change not just the mindset of the playing squad but also the feeling inside Anfield.
It sounded like Amorim came to a similar conclusion as he watched United lose 3-0 to Bournemouth on Sunday. The 39-year-old wasn't critical of the fans and made the point several times that he understood their anxiety, but there was also the feeling that he knew it wasn't helpful.

Amorim needs to create an environment where fans and players are united, and at the moment that isn't quite there. The Portuguese understands why, describing the fans as 'tired' post-match and saying that they have become wearily accustomed to these kinds of defeats and performances over recent years. There is almost a resignation that settles over Old Trafford when performances begin in the manner of Sunday’s. It was flat on and off the pitch before Dean Huijsen gave Bournemouth the lead, and Amorim could sense it. 'In this moment, everything is so hard,' said Amorim. 'At a club like Manchester United, to lose 3-0 at home, it's really tough for everybody. 'Of course the fans are really disappointed and tired. You can feel it in the stadium in the first play. At the first goal-kick with Andre Onana, he's thinking what to do and pushing the other guys and everybody is so anxious. 'I understand that, but we have to face it. We have to face it and focus on the next game. We know what to do, we have to address a lot of things but we are ready to do i
