Try like below it will work...

if(UserStatus != "Admin")
{
 Menu1.Items.Remove(Menu1.FindItem("Reports"));
 Menu1.Items.Remove(Menu1.FindItem("Master"));
}

If your menu is in Master Page Then try like below...

var menu = Page.Master.FindControl("Menu1") as Menu;
if (menu != null)
{
menu.Items.Remove(menu.FindItem("Reports"));
menu.Items.Remove(menu.FindItem("Master"));
}

I got the solution:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (strAdmin == "False")
        {
            MenuItem mnuItem = Menu1.FindItem("Reports"); // Find particular item
            Menu1.Items.Remove(mnuItem);
            MenuItem mnuItem1 = Menu1.FindItem("Master"); // Find particular item
            Menu1.Items.Remove(mnuItem1);
            Menu1.Width = Unit.Percentage(30);
        }
    }
