AFCON 2025
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he won’t change his philosophy and will continue to play that way.
Amorim says the club hierarchy can “change the man” if they start to lose faith in his method.
Phil Foden’s opener and Erling Haaland’s brace handed Manchester United their second loss in the league this season leaving Amorim with eight wins in 31 Premier League matches since he took over in November 2024.
When asked if the poor run of results will prompt a change in his philosophy after the 3-0 loss on Sunday, Amorim said he has no intention of altering his approach.
“I am not going to change my philosophy. I will play my way until I want to change. Guys, I understand [the questions] and I accept it is not a record you should have at Man United. But there are a lot of things that you have no idea about what happen in the last months.”
“I understand everything. It is normal [if fans are losing faith], but I don’t accept that we are not doing better. We are doing better and the results don’t show that, the record says everything, I understand.
“My message is I will do everything. I will give everything. It is not my decision, the rest. I will do my best. I am suffering more than [the fans].”
Despite the loss, Amorim believes his team is improving and his players are “giving the maximum” on the pitch. However, he admits the team needs to do better.
“We play against a coach that won six Premier League titles and we are building things, trying to fight against these teams,” Amorim said. “But I am not going to defend myself, it’s always the same question, trying to protect myself. We need to do better.”
Manchester United welcome Chelsea next while Manchester City travel to North London to take on Arsenal.
