Ince: The fundamental reason for Manchester United s depravity is that it has completely lost its iron-blooded spirit. No matter how good the tactics are, they are useless.

Paul Ince criticized Manchester United players for lack of fighting spirit, and coach Amorin's tactical rigidity

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince said in an interview with Telegraph Sports that he believes that Manchester United's continued downturn in recent years is closely related to the current team's lineup lacks the "Red Devils spirit" in the past. Manchester United players are accused of lacking personality and fighting spirit. After one of the worst seasons in history, Manchester United has now become a laughing stock in English football. This season they only ranked 15th in the Premier League and missed the qualification to fight in the European Cup. After losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final, they lost to a Southeast Asian team in the first game of the preseason, which made fans increasingly disappointed and eager to relive the glory of the Ferguson era.

As an important member of Ferguson's early dynasty, Ince was deeply saddened by the current situation:

"I really felt sad when I saw Manchester United now. Our team back then not only had talented players, but also had a steely will and a distinct personality."

He recalled: "Players like Steve Bruce, Brian Robson, Mark Hughes and myself are the real soul of the team. We are not afraid of confrontation and dare to take responsibility."

Ince also pointed out that many players today can no longer bear the huge pressure and expectations brought by Manchester United:

"When we selected new players, we not only focused on technical skills, but also on personality - do you have enough courage to wear this jersey? Can you withstand the pressure from fans, media and opponents?"

coach Ruben Amorin is facing a huge crisis of trust, especially after the large-scale layoffs in Old Trafford, his coaching performance has attracted much attention.

Ince believes that Amorin is too stubborn in tactical arrangements and fails to adjust his playing style based on existing players:

"He has worked with these players for a while, but the team has not made any obvious progress. The three-back system he insists on using doesn't work at all. As a coach, you should develop the right tactics around the players at hand, rather than forcing the players to adapt to a system that doesn't suit them."

He also criticized Amorin's arrangement in the Europa League final:

"Garnacho performed well in the Europa League all season, but he was on the bench in the final; while Luke Shaw and Mason Mount did not play much football almost the whole season, but were arranged to start."

In addition, Ugat, who spent more than 40 million pounds, did not play in a single game in Bilbao, which also puzzled the fans.

Transfer strategy is chaotic, and the quality of signings is worrying

Ince also pointed out that Manchester United's transfer operations in recent years have been extremely failed, and the management seems to be unable to find the right direction:

"They spent a lot of money, but they could only get 15th in the league, which is simply inexplicable."

He recalled his situation when he joined Manchester United in 1989:

"We were ranked 13th at the time, but we won the FA Cup and gradually got on the right track. The problem now is , they don't seem to have a clear direction. "

He suggested that Manchester United should turn their attention to more powerful players, such as Aston Villa's striker Oli Watkins:

"If we want to change the status quo, we should sign people who can score."

Ince also compared the successful signing cases of other giants in recent years:

Liverpool signed Van Dijk, Gravenbech, McAllister;

Arsenal introduced Declan Rice;

And what about Manchester United? Almost no truly dominant player was signed.

"If I choose the current 11-man Premier League team, maybe even a Manchester United player can't get in. This situation has lasted for six or seven years."

Ince finally emphasized that if Manchester United wants to regain its strength, they must fundamentally change their thinking:

"Manchester United cannot return to the peak by repeating past mistakes. When the team loses that 'iron-blooded spirit', no matter how good the tactics are, it will be useless."

He concluded: "If Manchester United cannot regain the 'tough guy mentality' that once defined the spirit of the Red Devils, then they will always be just a vague shadow of the glory of the past."
