Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte has expressed unwavering support for manager Ruben Amorim, despite the team's disappointing 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season [1]. Ugarte, who played under Amorim at Sporting CP, believes that the Portuguese coach is the right man for the job and that the team is motivated and believes in his vision.

Ugarte's confidence in Amorim comes despite the club's poor performance under his leadership. Amorim guided United to just seven Premier League wins in 27 matches and their worst-ever finish in the Premier League [2]. However, Ugarte insists that the team is committed to improving and is excited about the new season.

"We have to improve things," Ugarte told British media. "We are all very motivated, because we believe in the coach, we believe in what he wants and that is very important." He added, "Last year we made some changes, we changed our coach, we changed our formation. You have to have responsibilities when you play for United. Sometimes the connections take time to get to know each other. I already know the league, the rivals, which is important."

United will begin their new Premier League season against Arsenal on August 17 after a series of pre-season matches in the US and a friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford [3]. The team will take on Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday and face Everton in Atlanta on Sunday before returning home for the friendly match.

The club's CEO, Richard Masters, has commented on the team's US tour, highlighting the league's growing popularity in the United States and the investigation into Manchester City's alleged financial rule breaches [4]. Masters also discussed the potential for the league to continue growing, with four clubs currently touring the country.
