After an awkward FA Cup exit with a loss to Fulham on penalties, Amorim was once again asked the big question. He had previously stated that the goal is the Premier League title in the long term, which Wayne Rooney thought was reasonably naïve considering that the club has around half as many points in the table as Liverpool after 27 games, last season United finished 31 points behind winners City. This time, Amorim gave an answer that left many stunned.
Now it has been shown in the past that Amorim has thrown out some formulations he later adjusted, but this was not to be misunderstood. Ruben Amorim understands it could be coming to an end at Old Trafford.
“I don’t know if I’m going to be here, but the way we think, we’re going to come back, and we’re going to win in the future. But then there is the risk. We do a lot of things, we don’t win games, and when you don’t win games you have to change people, and we know that,” Amorim told Sky Sports.
I don’t know if I’m here (when United go top of the Premier League).
A very honest answer, but not exactly what the supporters want to hear from the Manchester United coach who has been given the long-term assignment.
