Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, acknowledged the precarious nature of his position after a disappointing start to his tenure.
Ruben Amorim has admitted his position at Manchester United is far from secure after a difficult start to life in England. The new head coach has failed to hit the ground running since his appointment in November, and things went from bad to worse as his side fell to a 3-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. This was United's third defeat in a row, with all three coming in the space of a week, meaning that they are now on their worst losing streak since the 2013-14 season.
With four of these defeats coming in the league, the 39-year-old has reached this figure in just his seventh league match in charge, faster than any United boss in Premier League history. Amorim breaks unwanted record as Manchester United boss sends warning that fans won't like And the Portuguese coach has admitted that he is fully aware of the cut-throat nature of management at the highest level. 'I know that if we don't win, regardless, if they pay the buyout or not, I know that every manager is in danger. I like that because that is the job, so I understand the question.' 'You can argue that I have been here one month and I’ve had four training (sessions), but we are not winning. That is the reality and I'm quite comfortable with that.' Defeat at Molineux saw the Red Devils booed by their supporters at the final whistle, with their side currently languishing in 14th position in the league table. And while Amorim said that he was aware of the challenges facing him when he stepped into the job, he confessed that he hadn't expected to find results so hard to come by. He continued: 'There’s no point talking about that or thinking about that . I’m here and have to focus on the job.' 'You expect to win more games, to have players with more confidence to sell the idea and to work and improve things. At this moment it's really hard'
