Ruben Amorim says that the players of Manchester United are not affected by the latest job losses at the club because they live in 'a bubble'.
United has announced a round of dismissals that could take the total number of job losses up to 450, because Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos started running football activities at Old Trafford.
Although Amorim accepts that he and the team are partially responsible for the failure of United on the field, he also believes that the players are busy with his own problems.
“They don't feel that pressure from people losing their jobs,” said United's head coach for the collision on Wednesday evening with Ipswich at Old Trafford.
“They have one life, they live in a bubble. It is completely different for them than for me and everyone in the club.
“I'm not saying it's a bad thing. They are a young children who live in a different world, but they suffer on a different pressure and sometimes it is more difficult.
'They feel the pressure they have to win at Manchester United, and every time we lose or not perform, people talk about it; Their friends, social media and former players.
'They take it so personally and sometimes it is really difficult for them to reverse things. Then they go to the field and try to repair things, but not in a good way: think too much, don't play the way they have to play. '
Amorim believes that saving money by making staff superfluous, but United still has to spend it wisely in the transfer market.
“We have to improve recruitment, that's crucial,” he added. 'We must be a better team and not make many mistakes in that department.
'They pay the price for our lack of success and I can't say anything now that fans and all the staff are going to convince us to do it.
“It is important to understand how we have achieved this situation, and it has a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of every football club.”
