Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim remains confident despite the team struggles, with seven losses in 13 Premier League games, leaving them 13th with a -6 goal difference. He insists he has the board’s support and does not fear being sacked. Amorim defended loaning out Marcus Rashford, stating their footballing views didn’t align, and wished him success at Aston Villa.
For the first time under Ruben Amorim, Manchester United has lost seven of their 13 Premier League games, sitting 13th in the table with a -6 goal difference. Despite their struggles, Amorim remains confident in his position, citing strong backing from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
United’s latest setback, a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, added to mounting pressure, but Amorim insists the board was aware of the risks when appointing him mid-season. He acknowledged the challenges of taking over during a turbulent period but emphasized that his focus was on improvement rather than job security.
A key talking point has been the departure of Marcus Rashford on loan to Aston Villa after Amorim benched him for six weeks. The Portuguese manager admitted that he and Rashford had differing football philosophies, leading to the decision. Rashford’s potential success under Unai Emery could be scrutinized, but Amorim stood by his choice.
Additionally, the manager took responsibility for loaning out Tyrell Malacia and Antony, further reshaping the squad. While results have been disappointing, Amorim maintains that his methods will eventually yield results, reaffirming his belief that he is the right man to lead Manchester United forward despite their ongoing slump.
