Ruben Amorim has doubled down on his commitment to Manchester United, making it clear that his dream remains alive at Old Trafford. The Portuguese coach admitted that defeats hit him deeply but insisted he's not losing sleep over the fear of getting sacked as reported by Softfootball . For him, the focus stays on building performance, even if the critics circle. His words echo what he has said before. This is about fighting for the project, not clinging to a chair.
Six league games in, three defeats, including tough ones to Arsenal and City, and questions about his 3-4-3 formation haven't gone away. Some fans and pundits blame the shape, while Amorim maintains it's about execution, not chalkboards. That's not too different from how Oliver Glasner's pragmatic setup at Palace is seen. A stark contrast to Amorim's insistence on sticking with his philosophy as reported by Softfootball .
Saturday's clash with Sunderland carries even more weight because it's Amorim's 50th game in charge. History isn't on his side as none of the last five United managers won their 50th match. Another slip could push him closer to the edge, especially after last weekend's dreadful 3-1 loss at Brentford that left United marooned in the bottom half.
