Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim reiterated his commitment towards the club, highlighting that he understands the problems of his team. Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag in the middle of the current season but failed to rejuvenate the club this season.
The team that Amorim inherited has completely failed to adjust to his desired style of play, which requires three-man defence. Amorim enjoyed a lot of success with his tactics during his tenure at Sporting CP, establishing them at the top.
However, United have faced a steep downfall this season as their expensive players have struggled with consistency and team cohesion. The Red Devils are currently 16th in the Premier League table, only one point away from 17th-placed rival, Tottenham Hotspur.

Both United and Spurs will face each other in the Europa League final, a chance to end the season strongly. Furthermore, the potential Europa League triumph would give the club the opportunity to play in the next season’s Champions League.
Speaking to the media (via BBC), Amorim clarified his comments after the West Ham defeat and reiterated his commitment to United. He said:
“I’m far from quitting. I have a clear idea of what to do and I understand the problems of the team. Since I arrived here, I’m always talking about standards. I cannot see the team having these results, especially in the Premier League, and not say anything or take the responsibility. What I’m saying is that we need to perform or else they [the club’s hierarchy] will change us. That is normal.”
There is a strong argument against Amorim that he failed to adjust according to the team he inherited this season. Many football followers believe that a manager should act according to the players he possesses at the time.
However, many fans on the other spectrum defended Amorim for sticking with his playing philosophy and the reason why United appointed him in the first place. Nevertheless, United have suffered a big embarrassment this season, losing 16 games in the Premier League from 35 matches.
