Amorim Dismissed Concerns About His Manchester United Future After Defeat

Amorim Remains Unfazed by Manchester United’s Defeat

Despite the recent defeat suffered against Brentford, Rúben Amorim, Manchester United’s technical director, assures he is not worried about his continuity at the club. The Portuguese coach was looking to achieve consecutive victories for the first time since taking over, but Brentford prevailed with a 3-1 score at the Gtech Community Stadium, raising doubts about Amorim’s ability to lead the team.

I always feel comfortable with my job. I’m not worried. It’s not my decision. I will do my best every minute I’m here. I never worry about my job, I’m not that kind of person.

Amorim stated that he had prepared his players with a clear game plan to face Brentford, anticipating the strategy of the team led by Keith Andrews.

However, the plan fell apart in the first 20 minutes of the match, during which Brentford took a 2-0 lead and had opportunities to extend it. Faced with the question of why the team’s performance didn’t reflect what was seen in the week’s training sessions, Amorim suggested that the “pressure” of playing for United could be a determining factor. The technician added that his main focus is to win the next match and regain the team’s momentum.

I’m thinking about how to win the next game. I’m not trying to protect the players or myself. I’m just trying to win the next game, to create momentum again. That’s all. I try to be really objective in my analysis of the game.

Amorim concluded by saying that the team played Brentford’s game, instead of their own game, which made it difficult to get the win.
