Overcoming Injuries and Embracing a New Era at Man Utd
After missing much of the 2024-25 season because of persistent injuries, Shaw is eager to make a strong comeback under Amorim’s guidance at Old Trafford. During the team’s pre-season activities in the US, the seasoned left-back has showered compliments on the Portuguese coach, shedding light on his rigorous and uncompromising methods.
From Negativity to Positivity: Shaw’s View on the Club’s Shift
In discussions with the media, the England international reflected: “Anyone watching from afar could spot the struggles we’ve faced. For several years now, the vibe at the club has often been discouraging and even poisonous, which isn’t conducive to success. We require a setting that’s supportive, uplifting, full of vitality, and joy.”
He continued, highlighting the benefits: “With these elements in place, players feel liberated and can showcase their true abilities on the field. Everything starts to align, and during this pre-season, I’ve noticed the team’s connection strengthening day by day. In all my years here, this might be the tightest-knit group I’ve experienced. The overall mood is incredibly optimistic, and we hope to sustain it moving forward.”
Amorim’s Strict Standards and Team-First Philosophy
Shaw elaborated on the changes: “Gone are the days of anyone slacking off. Amorim’s mindset and expectations are incredibly demanding; he scrutinizes every detail. The priority is always the collective, and he’s been crystal clear about that. Selections are based purely on who’s optimal for the squad, and that’s entirely up to him.”
“We’re all on board with his vision and the strategies he’s introducing,” Shaw added. “Since rejoining for pre-season, the unit feels genuinely cohesive. Maintaining this family-like bond will help us stay united and push towards our goals.”
Looking Ahead: Pre-Season Matches and Premier League Kickoff
Manchester United is set for their upcoming friendly against Bournemouth in Chicago this Thursday, building momentum under Amorim. The squad will launch their 2025-26 Premier League season on August 17 with an exciting clash against Arsenal at home. Recent updates show United’s improved squad depth, with injury recovery rates up by 15% from last season according to club reports, signaling a promising start.
