Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim insists he’s “not concerned” about his job, despite a rough start that’s left fans and pundits scratching their heads.
He took over in November after United activated his break clause at Sporting CP, replacing Erik ten Hag.
So far? Four Premier League wins, eight losses in 14 games and yet Amorim stands firm.
“I Have No Concerns”
After a painful loss to Tottenham on Sunday, Amorim didn’t mince words:
“I have no concerns. I know my role, I believe in what I’m doing and I want to win matches.”
There was no deflection. No political post-match praise or blaming injuries. Just a man facing a mess, and facing up to it.
His words cut through the noise and they felt honest.
“Today stings… it’s a hard pain to feel so many losses.”
He knows. United fans know. Losing at a place like Old Trafford doesn’t just hurt—it burns. But Amorim says he isn’t afraid of it
Instead, he’s choosing "short-term suffering for long-term gain." Not many managers could make that call but at United, rebuilding isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity.
Amorim acknowledges the historical shadow and the weight of Sir Alex Ferguson that looms larger than older stadium walls.
“It shows how hard this job is… this club was built around one man. When he leaves, everything changes.”
You don’t coach United. You survive United even reforge it.
“Moyes is doing a better job than I am. That’s the truth.”
That’s brutal honesty in a world where cliches mask insecurity. But it also shows self-awareness and respect.
Loveable Bond or Misguided Loyalty?Amorim says he’s heard fans say he's doing a good job and he’s confused by it. A manager knows their form, their mistakes, their missteps. To hear the support especially at Old Trafford that matters:
“When fans say ‘you are doing a good job’, it’s strange… but really important.”
There’s a fragile connection there a bridge he may need to hold onto.
“We have more time to work… more time to prepare.”
True, but does that buy forgiveness or only add to the pressure to perform in 2025–26?
He pointed the finger at small details lost balls, missed finishes. United aren’t being outplayed they’re getting half chances and half answers.
“We’ve improved in certain areas… but we didn’t score.”
So what’s next? Tactical tweaks? Squad overhaul? Patience? Ownership backing?
Amorim knows this. The fans know this. And after a season full of raw honesty, the first signs of something more polished might have to show up in May.
But digging in, owning problems, comparing yourself honestly to Everton? That’s not cowardice, that’s courage.
Even at the lowest points, if you stand tall reflect, adjust, learn. you will begin to rebuild something that lasts.
And that’s what United need most now: not heroics, but a roadmap. One that starts with accountability, continues with consiste
ncy, and refuses to panic when the storm breaks.
