Ruben Amorim said Manchester United should feel embarrassed after West Ham won 2-0 at Old Trafford on 11 May 2025.
Goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen left United 16th in the Premier League and extended their winless league run to seven matches.
West Ham punish passive defending
Mohammed Kudus created the opener by driving into the area and finding Soucek, who finished from close range in the 26th minute.
United had possession but lacked urgency and a reliable final pass. Alphonse Areola denied Bruno Fernandes before the break.
Bowen doubled West Ham’s lead in the second half after Aaron Wan-Bissaka reached the byline and cut the ball back.
Amorim questions United’s culture
Amorim said the defeat was about more than tactics and warned that United had become too accepting of poor results.
Amorim told his post-match press conference that his players needed to feel embarrassed and the club had to be strong in the summer.
It was United’s 17th league defeat and their ninth at home, both grim measures of a season already beyond repair domestically.
Europa League cannot hide league form
United still had a Europa League final against Tottenham to prepare for, offering a route into the Champions League.
Amorim refused to let that opportunity excuse the league collapse. West Ham moved above United, while the home side were left confronting standards the coach believed had fallen far too low.
