Manchester United\u2019s veteran left-back, Luke Shaw, has openly described the club\u2019s recent atmosphere as “quite toxic” and “not healthy at all,” highlighting the need for a cultural shift within the squad. Shaw expressed his support for head coach Ruben Amorim, who has introduced a strict regime since his arrival last November. Amorim’s firm stance was seen when he distanced himself from Marcus Rashford over training attitude issues, and similarly Alejandro Garnacho faced consequences after expressing frustration publicly following a Europa League final benching.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters in Chicago, Shaw said,<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not hard to see from the outside what it\u2019s been like. A lot of the time I\u2019ve been here over the last few years it\u2019s been extremely negative.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He emphasized the importance of fostering a more positive and healthy environment at the club, stating, “We need an environment that\u2019s healthy, that\u2019s positive, that\u2019s got good energy and happiness. When you have all those things, you feel free and you express yourself more.”<\/p>\n
Shaw, Manchester United’s longest-serving player, praised Amorim\u2019s unwavering demand for commitment from every squad member. “Ruben brings demands. Mentality is a big thing. He talks a lot about it. He demands 100% and doesn\u2019t want anything less. If someone\u2019s doing 85-90%, it\u2019s not enough. I think, especially this year, if you\u2019re not doing the right things, you won\u2019t play,” Shaw explained. He added that it is equally the responsibility of senior players to uphold these standards, with status or individual reputation carrying no weight in maintaining discipline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
