‘Every coach is in danger’: Amorim wary of job risk if United’s poor form rolls on Ruben Amorim has said he is aware his job will be at risk if he fails to reverse Manchester United’s alarming slide and acknowledged supporters are “tired” of the team’s shortcomings.
Defeat at Wolves on Boxing Day dropped them to 14th, eight points above the relegation zone and 11 off fourth-placed Arsenal, leading Amorim to dismiss United’s chances of qualifying for European football.
The coach said he is not immune from danger because United paid €10m (£8.3m) to release him from his contract at Sporting in November and knows he must win to prevent scrutiny from building.
“The manager of Manchester United can never, no matter what, be comfortable, and I know the business that I’m in,” Amorim said.
United have lost five of their past seven matches in all competitions, including four of their past five in the Premier League.
