Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has admitted that his job is not safe if he does not fix the club’s EPL form.
This is coming after MUFC lost their 17th league game of the season with a 2-0 defeat against West Ham at Old Trafford.
Speaking after the game, Amorim said that he feels embarrassed to be the manager in charge as the team continues to lose games domestically, and it is sad that fans are now forced to accept the unacceptable results that should normally be frowned at.
According to him, the fact that it no longer feels like the end of the world when MUFC gets beaten at Old Trafford is a big problem for the club, because that only shows that Manchester United is losing its touch as a massive club.
“How is a manager of Manchester United supposed to feel in this position? Embarrassed and it’s hard to accept.
For me, the biggest concern is that feeling that it’s OK.
We cannot change our position so much so it’s OK. That is the biggest problem in our club in this moment because we are losing the feeling of we are a massive club and it’s the end of the world to lose a game at home.
I think that is the biggest concern in our club,” he said.
The Portuguese manager revealed that the lack of urgency he still sees on the pitch is a major concern for him, stressing that the club has to be brave with its signings in the summer.
Amorim believes that a change is clearly needed to take the club back to what it was under Sir Alex Ferguson, and it must happen in the next transfer window to help MUFC retain its status as a big club.
Ruben maintained that winning the UEL is the smallest problem for Manchester United right now, as there are bigger issues to address.
“I think it’s the feeling. I will not talk about culture, but it’s a feeling and it’s the most dangerous feeling we have in a big club.
I have that feeling, that lack of urgency in everything we do. It’s a big concern.
I don’t want to talk about players, I’m talking about myself.
I’m talking about the culture in the club and the culture in the team.
We need to be really strong in the summer and be brave. We will not have a next season like this if we start like this. If the feeling is still here we should give space to different persons.
I’m not concerned about the final, it’s by far the smallest problem in our club.
We need to change something that is deeper than this. We are showing in the end of the season that playing in the Premier League and Champions League for us is the moon. We need to know that and I’m not concerned about the final.
I don’t know what is best. If it’s playing Champions League or not. So let’s think about Chelsea to improve a lot of things,” he added.
