Last season Ruben Amorim did not train Man united from the start of the season and it is only natural that Man united was less than satisfactory in last season's performance, but actually Amorim can also be said to be good and good because he can bring Man united to the Runner up rank in the Europa League last season. so yes indeed by successfully bringing Man united to win the premier league summer series of course this is a good step and a good start for Man united.
It is an acceptable reason for disappointed performances in second half of past season but it's about the past, and they can not live with the past. This summer is nearly over and they will start a new season very soon while there is limited remaining time for buying some new players. Patience and belief need to be given to Ruben Amorim but as always, there is limitation and pressure on Ruben Amorim will become bigger with time.
I won't compare Manchester United to any other team; that would be inappropriate. What Manchester United should be comparing themselves to last season is their own performance, which gives them a strong incentive to improve next season.
Let's be realistic: a team like Manchester United that hasn't made many changes certainly can't develop rapidly or experience significant changes. So, in my opinion, if they can improve slightly compared to last season, that's enough, and it shows they're making progress.
Don't expect too much from Manchester United; they have a process to go through, and it will take a long time for Manchester United to return to competing at the top.
I agree with you and let's compare Manchester United with themselves in past latest seasons, we can easily see their big problems. They did not improve their squads over years and by spending a lot of money for transfers and salary, it's harmful for their club finance while results were very bad and their club revenue was affected negatively too.
They will have to put belief in Ruben Amorim and hope that this young coach can repeat his success in Sporting Lisbon with them and start a new successful era for a first time after retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson many years ago.
