'The manager of Manchester United can never be comfortable' - Ruben Amorim admits he is in danger of being SACKED after less than two months in Old Trafford dugout

Amorim's men were handed another defeat this week, losing 2-0 to struggling Wolves. The Red Devils' form has not seen the expected upturn following the departure of Erik ten Hag and the arrival of the former Sporting coach. And while Amorim will likely be given time to sort out the mess at Old Trafford, he admitted that he must deliver results at a club the size of Manchester United.

Speaking ahead of United's game against Newcastle on Monday, Amorim said: "The manager of Manchester United can never, no matter what, be comfortable. They paid the buy-out clause to get me. I know that if you don't win, every manager is in danger and I like that because that is the job. You can argue that I have been here one month and I’ve had only a few training sessions but we are not winning. That is the reality and I'm quite comfortable with that.

"We have to fight against everything because our supporters are always there, but they are tired of this moment. It’s part of football to have these difficult moments. I already knew that it was going to be tough. 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. We have to survive to have time and then to improve the team."

Man Utd have delivered just two Premier League wins in Amorim's reign so far. They sit firmly in the bottom half of the table and are showing no signs of improving. However, it will take time for players to adapt to his new system and for the head coach to get a good idea of what his best starting XI is.

Reports suggest there is not much money for Amorim to play with in the January transfer market. Therefore, the Portuguese boss must grit his teeth and continue the process of building a new project brick by brick, even if the results are not coming just yet.
