“I am not worried about me, I’m worried about the club, the team, the players,” Amorim said. “I hate to lose, that feeling is the worst. The rest I am not thinking about.” Amorim said he just wants “to help my players.”
United lost 1-0 to Tottenham on Sunday to leave the 20-time champion 15th in the Premier League. It was the ninth defeat for Amorim since he took over as United manager in November.
“I have a lot of problems, my job is so hard, but I am here to continue my job to the next week with my beliefs, I will try to do and try to win again,” Amorim said after James Maddison’s goal consigned United to defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Amorim, who won two Portuguese league titles with Sporting Lisbon, has endured a torrid start to his United career, with his team just three places above the relegation zone.
The last time United lost 12 of its first 25 games in a league season was in the 1973-74 campaign when it was relegated from the top flight.
“I understand my situation, my job,” Amorim said. “I just want to win games.”
