Ruben Amorim admits that be will be sacked by Man Utd board if he doesn’t do this as he reveals what the board want him to do to save his job.

Ruben Amorim’s tenure as Manchester United manager has already entered turbulent waters just weeks after his appointment. Stepping into the role in early November to succeed Erik ten Hag, Amorim’s time at Old Trafford has been marred by inconsistent performances and growing scrutiny over his future. Despite being just 39, the Portuguese tactician finds himself navigating immense pressure following a challenging start.

Manchester United’s Boxing Day loss to Wolves, a 2-1 defeat, marked Amorim’s fifth loss in his first ten games. Reflecting on his precarious position, he admitted the harsh realities of managing one of football’s most high-profile clubs. Amorim acknowledged the unrelenting nature of the job, stating that no Manchester United manager can ever afford to feel secure, regardless of circumstances. While embracing the challenges, he also recognized the growing impatience surrounding the team’s struggles, particularly given their historically high expectations.

Amorim highlighted the need for time and patience as his philosophy takes shape, though he confessed the transition has been far from smooth. A lack of adequate training sessions due to a packed schedule, coupled with the weight of early defeats, has made implementing his ideas difficult. The players’ confidence has visibly waned, making it even harder to foster belief in his approach. He admitted to underestimating the scale of the challenge but reaffirmed his determination to improve results.

Currently sitting in 14th place in the Premier League, United are alarmingly 11 points away from the top four and just eight points above the relegation zone. With Newcastle United next on the fixture list for a New Year’s Eve clash at Old Trafford, the pressure to secure a positive result is immense. Amorim remains defiant, choosing to focus on what he can control—improving the team’s performances—rather than speculating about his job security.

For Amorim, the road ahead is steep. Turning things around will require immediate results, greater cohesion within the squad, and trust from the board. His candid approach to addressing the club’s current struggles reflects his willingness to shoulder responsibility. However, in a results-driven environment like Manchester United, time and patience are often in short supply. The coming weeks, particularly the showdown against Newcastle, could prove decisive in determining whether Amorim can weather the storm and solidify his place at Old Trafford.
