Rúben Amorim Insists He’ll Stay At Man Utd Despite Mounting Pressure

‎Ruben Amorim remains determined to continue as Manchester United manager after the upcoming international break, despite growing pressure on the beleaguered boss.

‎Stunned by United’s humiliating League Cup second round loss at fourth-tier Grimsby on Wednesday, Amorim said “something has to change” at the club and he would “think things through” during next week’s international break.

‎Amorim’s outburst sparked questions about his future at Old Trafford, as United opened this season winless in their first two Premier League matches.

‎The Portuguese coach was already fighting to reshape perceptions of his tenure, which only began in November.

‎This comes after United’s worst league finish since 1973-74 last season.

‎But ahead of Saturday’s visit from Burnley, Amorim explained his comments were made in the heat of the moment on a hugely frustrating night.

‎When asked if he would still be in the job when United visit Manchester City on September 14, Amorim said, “I don’t know what is going to happen. That is my idea, but I’m not going to promise you anything about what is going to be in the future.

‎”But I’m the manager of Manchester United, and I think that is not going to change.”

‎Amorim responded to a question about his confidence in his ability to take United forward by simply saying: “Yes.”

‎With a laugh, he added, “It depends on the day. But I’m confident because I saw these players play really well in tough matches. And I see it in training. That training is so much better.

‎”I was not surprised, I was shocked in the last game, shocked. This game was not our team’s way of doing things. So I’m always confident in the way I manage the team.”
