"No, that is a decision of the board. I cannot do that. Sometimes I have that feeling and losing is hard, not to create the momentum. It's so frustrating when you create the momentum, go to the next game, something happens. That feeling sometimes hurts me a lot. Also the players and especially the staff here. But that is not my decision and I think it would be really hard to leave if I don't do everything to follow my career here."
"Nobody here is naive, Amorim said. We understand that we need results to continue the project. We will reach a point that is impossible for everyone because this is a very big club with a lot of sponsors, with two owners. So it's hard, the balance is really hard. What I want is to see my team winning or losing playing the same way and we are not doing that."
Ruben Amorim refuses to walk away from Manchester United and accepts that any decision on his future lies with the board. He has accumulated 34 points from 33 Premier League games and the club sit 14th after finishing 15th last season. United have won two of seven matches this campaign and exited the Carabao Cup at Grimsby. The Brentford defeat prolonged Amorim's search for consecutive league wins since his arrival 11 months ago. He defends his persistent use of a 3-4-3 system, cites frustration over lost momentum, and acknowledges pressure from results, staff welfare and commercial expectations.
