Creating a Healthy Culture: Luke Shaw on the Shift in Manchester United Under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United defender **Luke Shaw** shared his thoughts on the atmosphere within the team in recent years, highlighting the changes brought about by head coach **[Ruben Amorim](https://example.com/tags/35341-ruben-amorim/)**.

«It’s not hard to see from the outside what the situation has been like. The atmosphere has occasionally been quite toxic and unhealthy. We need a positive, energetic, and joyous environment. When you have all of this, you feel freer and can express yourself more.

Ruben sets high standards. Mentality is a crucial aspect. He talks about it a lot. He demands 100% effort and won’t settle for anything less. If someone is operating at only 85–90%, it’s not enough. I think particularly this year, if you’re not performing correctly, you won’t be on the pitch. More experienced players need to push for higher standards every day. This includes the quality of training and punctuality; no one should be late. It doesn’t matter to the coach who the player is. That’s how it should be. Whatever he expects, we as players must deliver — and we fully support that,» Shaw’s words were reported by the BBC.
