Ruben Amorim has made a bold statement, saying he will leave Manchester United if the club’s board or fans no longer support him. The new head coach believes in full backing and insists he won’t stay where he’s not wanted.
Amorim Ready to Walk Away After Europa League Loss
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has said he will not ask for any money if the club decides to let him go. After the team’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, Amorim admitted that he might not be the right person for the job.
Amorim still has two years left on his contract, which he signed when he became manager in November. Usually, a manager who is sacked before the end of their contract receives a payout. But Marques said he would walk away for free if the club no longer wants him.
A Tough Start to Life at Old Trafford
Since joining Manchester United, Amorim’s time in charge has been full of struggles. In six months, he has managed only six wins in the Premier League. The recent loss to Spurs added to the disappointment, and fans are beginning to lose hope.
After the match, Marques asked the supporters to keep believing in him.
“I have nothing to show to the fans, so in this moment it is a little bit of faith,” he said.
He added that while he won’t quit, he would leave immediately if the club’s board or fans thought he should go.
“If the board and fans feel I am not the right guy, I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation. But I will not quit,” said Marques .
Despite the pressure, Amorim said he still believes in his coaching style.
“I am really confident in my job. And as you see, I will not change anything in the way I do things.”
United Outplayed But Still Lose to Spurs
In the final, Manchester United lost 1-0 to Spurs after Brennan Johnson scored just before half-time. The goal was a scrappy one, but it was enough for Tottenham to win the trophy and leave United without any silverware.
Amorim’s team had more chances and more shots on goal—16 in total—but failed to score. Rasmus Højlund came close with a header, but Micky van de Ven cleared it off the line. In the final minutes, Luke Shaw’s shot was saved by Tottenham’s goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Even though they lost, Amorim believed his players gave everything.
“It was clear we were the better team, then we managed not to score again. The guys tried everything to win the game,” he said.
What Happens Next for Amorim and United?
The future of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United is now very uncertain. He is under huge pressure from fans and the club’s management. Many supporters are frustrated with the team’s performances and lack of results since his arrival.
However, Amorim remains calm and hopeful that things will improve if he gets more time. He said it’s not the right moment to talk about what comes next and that the pain of the loss must be dealt with first.
“I am not going to talk about the future. Tonight we need to deal with the pain of losing this match,” Amorim said.
As Manchester United now faces a summer full of questions—about transfers, the squad, and possibly the manager—everyone is waiting to see what the club decides. Will they keep faith in Amorim and give him more time? Or will they start looking for someone new to lead the team?
One thing is clear: the fans want better results, and the club must act fast to avoid more disappointment in the next season.
