MANCHESTER, England :Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim insists he has no plans to walk away from the team, saying his heated comments after Sunday’s 2-0 loss to West Ham United came out of a sense of responsibility for their poor performance.
United are staggering to their worst top-flight season since they were relegated in 1974, with Sunday being their 17th defeat from 36 games and ninth loss at Old Trafford, what was once a fortress, and Amorim had said he may have to leave if their poor form continues.
“Since I arrived here, I was talking about the standards, and I cannot see the team having these results, especially in the Premier League, and say nothing, and not take the responsibility,” Amorim said during Wednesday’s media day ahead of next week’s Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.
“I have a clear idea what to do. I understand the problems of the team, so I’m far from quitting. What I’m saying is that we need to perform, and we had this season, in the future we need to perform, or else they will change us. That is a normal thing.”
