Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has said that he has no plans to quit the club next season.
He, however, revealed that he stands by his past comments about his team dropping below the established standard at the club.
Speaking during an interview with the press, Amorim revealed that it is simply impossible for him to see the team delivering very poor EPL performances without taking responsibility.
According to him, he has always talked about maintaining the standards of the club since he joined from Sporting CP, hence his outburst about the club replacing everyone overseeing the affairs of the team if results don’t improve.
Ruben maintained that he is very far from quitting his job as Manchester United manager, and instead, he is even more fired up than ever to correct the wrongs with his team.
“What I am saying is that since I arrived here, I am always talking about the standards and I cannot see the team having the results in the Premier League and not take responsibility. I am far from quitting.
What I am saying is we need to perform or else they will change us. That is a normal thing,” he said.
Confirming that he paid for his backroom staff and their families to go to Bilbao for the Europa League final, the Portuguese coach said that he was glad to help, and his players fully backed the move.
Amorim believes that it is only fair for him to respect the staff whose jobs are getting taken away from them for the club to survive, and he hopes the gesture will improve the general atmosphere in Bilbao.
“We have a lot of things, people leaving, a lot of changes in the staff, sometimes it is hard [to know] when to give, when to take, to respect the people we are taking their jobs to survive and rebuild.
It is complicated for the club to start giving to other members of staff so it is a really hard position.
That was explained so in that moment, my reaction was to help. It is not going to change my life. Then we talked to the players and they had the same reaction, everyone does, they want the staff and their families there in the final,” he added.
