Ruben Amorim does not intend to stop but admits that he will be under pressure if Manchester United cannot qualify for the Champions League.
Three days after suggesting that he may have to withdraw if the terrible form of the Premier League of United is continuing next season, Amorim has clarified his comments by saying that he is more likely that he will be dismissed by the club.
The 40 -year -old reduced a more relaxed figure on Wednesday compared to his discouraged mood after Sunday’s defeat against West Ham in Old Trafford left United in 16th place in the table.
“What I say is that since I arrive here, I always talk about standards and I do not see the team having the results in the Premier League and not assuming responsibility,” he said.
“I am far from stopping. What I say is that we have to play, otherwise they will change us. This is a normal thing.
Although UNITED faces Chelsea to Stamford Bridge Friday evening by trying to avoid the season a place over the relegation area the season, they can always qualify automatically for the Champions League by winning the final of the Europa League next week against Tottenham in Bilbao.
Ruben Amorim insisted that he was not about to leave Manchester United despite his suggestion that he could leave
The united boss now said that he had “a clear idea of what to do” and “understands the problems” of the team
Amorim admits that United not being able to qualify for Europe for the second time in 35 years, and miss a jackpot of 100 million pounds sterling will leave it under pressure at the start of next season.
“Yes, for sure, if we do not win (the final of the Europa League). But I’m not concerned about this, “he added.
“It’s going to be really bad. I don’t want to use it as an excuse, but it will be really difficult. The patience of fans and you (the media), the patience of next season and the limit will have to be perfect. Personally, for me, I think the Champions League is more important for everything.
“We are supposed to be in the Champions League. The Europa League here is not enough. You have this feeling here. The Champions League is the best way to help us reach the summit in a few years.
However, after suggesting the weekend that his team is as far as “the moon” to juggle the Champions League and Premier League football, Amorim always thinks that this would benefit the development of United to have a season outside Europe.
“This is my feeling. We need more time with the team. We have to organize a lot of things in Carrington so as not to think of Game by Game by Game.
“We have proven this year that we have to be a better team. If we want to win European matches and then be really competitive in the Premier League, it will be difficult.
It appeared this week thatMorim paid 30 of his background staff to take their family to Bilbao after learning that they should buy their own tickets as part of cost reduction by Ineos co-owners who have already led to generalized redundancies.
Amorim is not sure if the injured defenders Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Diogo Dalot will be able to face Tottenham
He explained: “The situation is simple. You know that we have a lot, people who leave, many changes in staff.
“It is complicated for the club to start giving other staff members, so it’s a really difficult position.
“It was explained at that time, my reaction was to help. It will not change my life. Then we talk to the players and they have the same reaction. Everyone does it. They want the staff and their families there to the final.
Amorim is not sure if the defenders injured Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Diogo Dalot will be able to face Tottenham, and it is unlikely that he may risk one of them in Chelsea.
