Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim Admits His Job Is Already Under Threat

 

Ruben Amorim, appointed as Manchester United manager in early November, has openly admitted that his future at Old Trafford is uncertain following a rocky start to his tenure. The 39-year-old replaced Erik ten Hag, who was in charge for over two years, but a string of poor results has placed him under immediate pressure.

 

A Tough Start

 

Amorim has endured a challenging introduction to life in Manchester, losing five of his first ten matches in charge. After United’s latest setback—a 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Boxing Day—the Portuguese coach acknowledged that his position might already be in jeopardy.

 

Speaking candidly about his situation, Amorim said:

 

> “I know the business that I’m in. The manager of Manchester United can never, no matter what, be comfortable.

 

> “If we don’t win, whether they pay the buyout or not, every manager is in danger. I like that because that is the job, so I understand the question.”

 

Amorim, who has repeatedly called for patience, admitted he did not anticipate such a difficult start but remains committed to turning things around.

### Adapting to the Challenge

 

Amorim stressed that time is needed for his philosophy to take root, emphasizing the need for players to adapt to his style of play. However, he acknowledged that the number of early defeats has made this transition more challenging.

 

> “You can argue that I’ve been here one month and had just four training sessions, but we are not winning. That is the reality, and I’m quite comfortable with that,” he said.

 

> “It’s part of football to have these difficult moments. I already knew it was going to be tough. You expect to win more games, to have players with more confidence to sell the idea, to work, and to improve things. At this moment, it’s really hard.”

### The Road Ahead

 

Manchester United currently sit 14th in the Premier League, 11 points off the top four and just eight points above the relegation zone. Despite the poor form, Amorim remains focused on the task at hand.

 

> “There’s no point talking or thinking about my job. I’m here and have to focus on what I can do to improve the team,” he added.

 

The pressure will only intensify as United prepare to face Newcastle United at Old Trafford on New Year’s Eve. A win could provide much-needed momentum, but another loss would further complicate Amorim’s already precarious position.

For now, the manager remains defiant, embracing the pressure and the challenge of managing one of football’s biggest clubs during a turbulent period. Whether he is given the time to implement his vision, however, remains to be seen.
