Amorim says Man Utd ‘need results to continue project’

Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, admits that it is “normal” for him to be criticized for his poor record and that it is “normal” for him to do so.

Wayne Rooney, United’s top goalscorer, claimed on his BBC podcast that his old club’s “soul has vanished.”

Amorim has yet to win two games in a row in his charge, winning only 18 of his 49 games, including nine out of 33 in the Premier League.

Even though Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s support for Amorim is unwavering, speculation about his future will grow after Saturday’s defeat to newly promoted Sunderland as a whole as he prepares for another two-week international break.

When asked about Rooney’s comments, the Portuguese responded, “It is normal.” You can’t escape the outcomes, they say.

According to sources close to Ratcliffe, the backing for Amorim is in line with private conversations that have taken place internally over the past few weeks, including after the defeat at Brentford.

Although the promises are accurate, dealing with the effects of the persistent negativity is challenging, and Amorim accepts that Ratcliffe will eventually lose her patience.

He said, “Nobody here is naive.” We are aware that the project must continue with results.

Because this is a very large club with many sponsors and two owners, “we will reach a point where everyone can struggle.”

It’s a dream to be here, of course. The issue is now, but I want to stay here and fight for it.

Some fans of Old Trafford believe Amorim might just resign in place of him, rather than be fired.

He raised the subject in the wake of last year’s Europa League final defeat, and he admits to having low thoughts about it, but he says it won’t happen.

” No, “he said”. The board will decide that. That is not my style.

“Sometimes I do feel that way,” she says, “and losing is difficult.” When you create momentum, advance to the next game, and something happens, it’s so frustrating. Sometimes I experience severe pain from that feeling.

Meanwhile, Amorim has approved the club’s plan to play money-spinning mid-season friendlies.

At the end of last season, United organized matches in Malaysia and Hong Kong, which generated about £10 million.

Once it became clear that they would not play any European games this year, the club was always going to try to fill the void.

Due to their Europa League defeat to Tottenham last May, they lost to them, who also lost to them, who earned between £80 million and £100 million in revenue. In addition, the shock second-round exit at League Two Grimsby cut off that revenue stream.

Similar positions exist for fellow European heavyweights AC Milan, RB Leipzig, and Europa League champions Sevilla.

Although no games or dates have been decided yet, United has a good chance of combining at least one game with some warm weather training in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Dubai at the end of November, December, or January.

In a testimonial match for former Saudi Arabian international Sami Al-Jaber, United traveled to Saudi Arabia in January 2008, where they lost 3-2 to Al Hilal.

Given the club’s financial situation, Amorim is aware that he is not able to contest any decision to hold friendlies.

He said, “We have to do it.”

We were aware of the need to make up for [our] many things, including our fans and the budget, when we missed Europe.

United’s supporters remained in Amorim after last year’s poor performance, when they finished 15th in the table — their worst performance since the 1973-74 relegation campaign — and were defeated in the Europa League final with the hope that the season would be significantly better.

Amorim promised fans that the situation would improve because he had more time to focus on his players without the distractions of midweek in European football.

The first six games have not come to fruit, as United have already lost three games and are currently 14th in the standings.

When asked what assurances he could offer supporters regarding the state of the situation, Amorim said, “It’s the time to show.
