Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says that every manager is under pressure and he can in no way grow ‘comfortable in his position at Old Trafford, especially after a run of three straight defeats read more…..
Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim on his side’s struggles: “The idea needs time. I said it before to you guys that this will be a tough moment and we are far from the end of this moment and that’s it. We have to continue and focus on the next game”
Ruben Amorim has admitted that even he is not safe from being sacked despite starting as Manchester United head coach just over a month ago.
The Portuguese has lost four out of his opening seven matches at United – with a 2-0 Boxing Day defeat to Wolves being the third straight defeat in all competitions, to leave the club 14th in the Premier League table and out of the Carabao Cup.
Man Utd are closer in points to the relegation zone than the Champions League places heading into their final match of a topsy-turvy 2024 at home to in-form Newcastle on December 30. Amorim’s side will be without captain Bruno Fernandes for that game after his Boxing Day red card.
“And I like that because that is our job. So I understand the question.
You can say I’m here a month and I have four training [sessions] but we are not winning. So that is the reality and I’m quite comfortable with that.”
Amorim did, however, stress that his long-term project to turn United around needs time – but could not determine how long that would take.
