Say what you will about Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United manager has never pulled any punches when speaking about the current situation at Old Trafford.

Indeed, over the past 10 months, Ruben Amorim has spoken a lot about suffering, struggling and ultimately just how poor his team have been at times.

Amorim has been criticised by some, and his results have largely been terrible.

The Portuguese manager has been at it again this week, claiming that his team are not equipped to play European football right now.

“I think we were not prepared to play Europe,” he said. “That is my feeling; to have strong games in the Champions League and to play Premier League we need time to develop as a team.

“I said last season we need time to prepare for every game. The games are really competitive and we need to build our base and then to perform. And then in the future we need to have Europe for everyone to play games.”

However, after watching the Champions League qualifiers, Richard Keys couldn’t help but disagree with this sentiment.

Keys shared his verdict on Amorim’s comments about not being ready to play in Europe.

The BeIN Sports anchor questioned the Manchester United boss, pondering why he keeps putting his own team down.

Keys, rightly, points out that United have spent over £200m this summer, and, what’s more staggering is that this team cost over £1bn to put together, and yet, Amorim doesn’t think his side is capable of playing in Europe.

Manchester United squad cost

Amorim doesn’t believe his team is ready for European football, but given how much this team cost to assemble, it really should be.

Indeed, the cost of putting this team together is staggering.

Meanwhile, as Keys says, teams such as Bodo/Glimt, Olympiacos and Kairat Almaty are all playing Champions League football despite operating on much smaller budgets.

Are Manchester United ready to win the Champions League? Of course they aren’t, but they certainly have a squad capable of dealing with European football.
