Manchester United fans are used to bold promises, but Ruben Amorim’s latest comments about the club being “healthier” in 2025 have reignited an old debate: is real progress finally happening at Old Trafford, or is this just another chapter of well-packaged optimism?

Speaking in comments shared by Fabrizio Romano, Amorim insisted that United have “learned a lot” and made “a lot of changes in the club… not just in the team, but in the club.” On the surface, it sounds reassuring. Dig a little deeper, though, and the statement feels like it’s walking a familiar line between honesty and narrative control.

United managers of the past decade have often spoken about process, rebuilds, and long-term visions. Yet trophies have been scarce, league challenges inconsistent, and standards constantly questioned. So when Amorim claims United are now a “healthier club” and in a “better position,” critics are right to ask: healthier compared to what?

Yes, there have reportedly been structural changes behind the scenes. Yes, there is talk of improved recruitment strategy and a clearer football identity. But Manchester United are judged by results, not press conference confidence.
