I’m fighting to keep my job – Man Utd manager, Amorim

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has admitted that he’s “fighting for his job” in the second half of the season.

Amorim has also accepted that United has taken “a risk” with their approach in the January transfer window.

The former Sporting boss has lost seven of his 13 Premier League matches since taking over in November.

This has included five league defeats at Old Trafford.

However, there has been no indication that this bad run has put any pressure on his position.

But the 40-year-old has insisted that the team’s form means that everyone is under threat.

“We are fighting for our jobs until the summer,” Amorim told a news conference on Friday.

“I know when I choose this profession that you have the risk of results and I knew when I came here, I look at the schedule, I look at the team, and I understood my decision of changing everything in the middle of the season without new signings it is a danger for a coach.

“But since day one, with good results or bad results, I have a clear idea of what I want to do and I take these risks because in the end I think it’s going to pay off.

“I’m not naive, I said that many times, this is a sport of results and we are in a difficult situation.”
