Manchester United are in a turnoil under Ruben Amorim after a tough loss against Brentford in the Premier League this weekend. The Red Devils lost momentum right in the opening 30 minutes of the match,
conceding two goals before failing to make a comeback. However, Ruben Amorim isn't much concerned about his current job and the future with the club. The win over Chelsea a week earlier gave Manchester United a lot of hope, but they lost 3-1 at Brentford, which brought them firmly down in the bottom half of the Premier League.
This loss has also affected Manchester United's position in the points table as it is down in 14th in the Premier League, just four points above the drop zone. The club officials insist that no shortlist of replacements has been drawn up despite claims from several outside sources. They maintain that no one is currently being considered to take Amorim’s place, as per multiple reports. Sources state that minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to back Amorim and believes it is only fair to assess the Portuguese manager after a full season with what he considers the right squad.
I am never concerned about my job: Ruben Amorim about his future with United
In Ruben Amorim's 33 Premier League games in charge, Manchester United have earned just 34 points, but they haven't won two games in a row yet. Amorim considers his stay isn't the decision of his own, but he will do his best to stay. "I am never concerned about my job - I am not that kind of guy. It is not my decision. I will do the best I can every minute I am here," he told BBC Match of the Day. When asked if he can turn things around, he said, "It’s like ups and downs. When you win, you feel that everything, the momentum is there. When you lose, you go back to the same place, and you fight again for one win that can help you to create the momentum. Guys, I'm always doing my job. If I win, I'm in a different state of mind."
Manchester United officials have been in support of their manager, but such losses cast doubt on that stance and, with no midweek fixtures to shift focus, guarantee a thorough inquest. Former Wales midfielder Ashley Williams also responded to this loss and told BBC Final Score, "I don't want to say they change manager, but how long can this continue? It seems to be every week that we're talking about it."
