Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, has ruled out resigning from his position despite the team's underwhelming start to the season. In a recent press conference, Amorim expressed his determination to turn things around, emphasizing that results are paramount to his continued tenure at Old Trafford. United's recent performances have been disappointing, including a shock League Cup exit to Grimsby Town and a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season, which meant they failed to qualify for European football.

Amorim acknowledged the pressure mounting on him, citing criticism from notable pundits like Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Nevertheless, he remains resolute, stating that losing games is what bothers him most, not losing his job. The manager emphasized the importance of small details in the game, suggesting that the team's struggles aren't solely due to the system but rather the execution of their strategy.

With Sunderland up next for Manchester United at Old Trafford, Amorim will be keenly focused on securing a win to boost the team's morale and league standings. Currently, Manchester United is leading Sunderland 2-0 in their match, which is ongoing.

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United is under scrutiny after a tough start to the season, with the team sitting 14th in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Liverpool. Amorim's side has managed just seven points from six matches, with nine wins, 17 defeats, and seven draws in his 33 league games in charge. When asked about his future, Amorim was clear: “No, that is a decision of the board. I cannot do that (resign).” This statement comes as Amorim looks to turn things around against high-flying promoted side Sunderland at home.

“Sometimes I have that feeling and losing is hard, not to create the momentum. It's so frustrating when you create the momentum, go to the next game, something happens. That feeling sometimes hurts me a lot. Also the players and especially the staff here.

“But that is not my decision and I think it would be really hard to leave if I don't do everything to follow my career here.

“It's a dream to be here and I want to continue here and I want to fight for this. But the problem is now what makes me suffer is to lose games, not to lose my job. You fear to lose your job when you have to pay the bills and I don't have that feeling.”

Both parties know results must improve but #MUFC bosses still fully support Portuguese for now & squad largely back head coach.

Ruben Amorim acknowledged that he's well aware of the precarious nature of his job as Manchester United manager, stating he's not “naive” about the pressures that come with managing a club of United's massive stature. This awareness comes as the team faces intense scrutiny following a disappointing start to the season.

“We understand that we need results to continue the project. We will reach a point that is impossible for everyone because this is a very big club with a lot of sponsors, with two owners. So it's hard, the balance is really hard,” he added.
