MANCHESTER UNITED BOSS RUBEN AMORIM IS PLANNING AN INTENSE PRE-SEASON AS HE LOOKS TO TURN THINGS AROUND AFTER THE RED DEVILS' WORST-EVER PREMIER LEAGUE CAMPAIGN 11:00, 01 Jun 2025 Ruben
Amorim is set to take a hardline approach with his squad as they look to bounce back from a disappointing season. Manchester United endured their worst-ever Premier League campaign as they
finished 15th and they also lost the Europa League final to Tottenham. United are set for a major overhaul this summer as Amorim looks to refresh his squad and the former Sporting boss is
also planning an intense pre-season to ensure his players are ready to go when the new season starts. According to the Sun, non-international players are expected to return to Carrington
'earlier than normal' and some could even be back in training before the end of June. Amorim is said to be demanding 'sky high' fitness levels from his players and that
he is ready to axe them if they do not meet his standards. It is claimed Amorim has even asked his players about their holiday plans, with the Portuguese attempting to leave no stone
unturned as he bids to turn things around. The report adds that he wants United to start the season strong as rivals Manchester City and Chelsea could have a 'disrupted' start to
their campaign due to the Club World Cup. The final of the revamped tournament takes place on July 13, just one month before the new season starts. A club source is quoted as saying:
"Amorim needs a good pre-season. He's not shied away from the pressure he's under. READ MORE: Man Utd target Matheus Cunha has already proven his attitude when joining

ahead of a new season rather than in the middle of it. He has to get this right. He's told the players there are no more excuses. His job is on the line — and so too is theirs. The club
can't accept any more failures." Article continues below After United's final game of the season, a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford, Amorim delivered an impassioned
speech to supporters where he promised them that "the good days are coming". He said: "I want to apologise for this season. I know you are really disappointed with me and with
the team. The second thing I want to say is thank-you. We are very grateful for your support during the season, which I know was really bad. "It was really hard in many games, but now,
for me, we have to make a choice – stay stuck in the past - because this season is in the past, it's over. We fight each other or we stick together and move forward. "Six months
ago, in my first three games in charge, with two victories and one draw, I said to you the storm is coming, Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you - the good days are
coming. "If there is one club in the word that can overcome any situation, any disaster it is our club, Manchester United. I also want to say thank-you to my players. Sometimes I am not
fair, but always I try to be honest with you. Thank you very much, see you next season." Article continues below _JOIN OUR NEW MAN UTD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY AND RECEIVE YOUR DAILY DOSE OF
