Manchester United defender Luke Show supported coach Robin Amorim’s attempt to improve the atmosphere in the team’s dressing room, saying it was “very poisonous” sometimes.
Amorem took responsibility for the faltering United United last November and demanded more commitment.
He also strictly dealt with some of the main players such as Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who were among the 5 players seeking to leave the club at the end of the season.
“In many of the times I spent here during the past few years, the atmosphere was very negative,” Shu, who has been playing in United since 2014, said in an interview with the BBC (BBC) published on Wednesday.
He added: “The atmosphere here may be very toxic, not healthy at all … We need a healthy, positive, energy and happiness environment. When you have all these things, you feel freedom and express yourself more.
“Robin brings these requirements. How to deal and enhance the mentality of players is the most important thing. He talks a lot about it .. He asks 100% and does not want less than that. If someone does 85-90%, this is not enough. I think, especially this year, if you do not do the right things, you will not play.”
Amorim questioned Rashford’s motives, saying that he would prefer to involve the goalkeeper coach than to choose a retired players.
Rashford joined Barcelona on loan, while British media reports linked Garnaco and the possibility of moving to Chelsea or Aston Villa.
“The coach does not look at the player’s name. This is how it should be. The players must implement the coach’s instructions as he wants and we support this completely,” Shaw added.
United, who finished last season in 15th and lost the European League final against Tottenham Hotspur, will start the new season at home against Arsenal on August 17.
