Ruben Amorim declares fight for jobs at Manchester United amid dismal season
- Manchester United is currently 13th in the Premier League, having suffered multiple losses this season.
- Ruben Amorim has focused on improving the existing squad without making new signings in January.
- The team is under pressure to perform as both the coach and players are fighting for their jobs until the summer.
In England, Manchester United's situation has worsened since Ruben Amorim took charge as head coach in November, following the sacking of Erik ten Hag. At present, United finds itself in a precarious position, sitting 13th in the Premier League after their latest defeat to Crystal Palace, having endured five losses in their last six matches at home. This challenging performance has resulted in Amorim feeling the pressure as he strives to turn around the club's fortunes. Furthermore, the coaching staff is aware of the difficult task at hand, with the club opting against significant transfers during the January window despite losses including key players Marcus Rashford and Antony on loan. Amorim is keen not to repeat past mistakes in the transfer market, emphasizing the need to improve current players and achieve results this season, before considering further changes in the summer. He has faced challenges convincing players like Rashford on training protocols, leading to the young forward's departure to Aston Villa, a situation Amorim refuses to discuss further. Instead, he remains concentrated on the current players, indicating a readiness to take risks to build a better team; this approach aligns with Amorim's philosophy of seeking different profiles and improving the team for future success.
