“I’m not sure if I’ll still be here” – Ruben Amorim makes unexpected statement while expressing confidence in Man Utd’s return to their former glory.

Ruben Amorim delivers unexpected “I don’t know if I’ll be here” remark amid Manchester United’s struggle to revive former glory.

 

What Happened?

Amorim’s statement followed United’s FA Cup fifth-round elimination, where they suffered a crushing penalty shootout defeat to Fulham. The loss compounded an already challenging season for the Red Devils, who are enduring a disappointing domestic campaign. Despite remaining in the Europa League, United currently sit 14th in the Premier League — far removed from their illustrious past.

 

What Amorim Said

Speaking to Sky Sports, Amorim admitted: “I don’t know if I’ll still be here, but with our current mindset, the team will bounce back and win in the future. However, that comes with risks. We’re making a lot of changes, but without victories, change is inevitable, and we understand that.”

 

The Bigger Picture

Although Amorim signed a contract running until 2027 with an optional extension, he acknowledges that football often lacks patience. The club entrusted him to oversee a major rebuild, but United’s poor form could test the faith of both the board and supporters.

 

“As a club, we’re implementing difficult changes,” Amorim added. “Many staff members are facing the consequences, but we’re laying the foundations to secure future success.”

 

What’s Next for Amorim & Manchester United?

Amorim remains dedicated to turning the team’s fortunes around, but obstacles lie ahead. United must quickly move past the FA Cup disappointment and prepare for their Europa League last-16 first-leg clash against Real Sociedad on Thursday.

 

Following that, they face a tough Premier League encounter against Arsenal. A positive result against the title contenders could reignite confidence, but another setback would heighten pressure on Amorim’s leadership.
