Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes cracked a joke about his manager, Ruben Amorim, being under pressure ahead of the Europa League final on Wednesday night. The Red Devils are set to face Tottenham in Bilbao, with the chance for one side to bow out of their respectively poor campaigns on a positive note.
Spurs’ disappointing campaign has prompted Ange Postecoglou to come under increased pressure in north London, with suggestions that the Aussie boss could be sacked regardless of whether Tottenham end their trophy drought.
Speaking on Tuesday, Amorim was asked about how he feels that his opposite number is under fire despite United being equally as poor. The reporter said: “Ange Postecoglou has just been in here answering questions about whether he might still be in his job whatever the result tomorrow.
“Are you surprised, grateful that you don’t seem to be under the same kind of pressure despite the fact that your team has a similar record?”
But before Amorim even had a chance to respond, Fernandes then interjected to quip that his manager is under pressure in the Old Trafford dugout, saying: “He is. Who told you he's not? He is.”
