'I don't know if I'll be here' - Ruben Amorim makes surprise admission as he backs Man Utd to return to former glories

Premier League

Leicester

Manchester United

<p>Amorim's comments came in the aftermath of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-victor-lindelof-bruno-fernandes-matthijs-de-ligt/blt2d4f1ee1f216f20a" target="_blank">United’s FA Cup exit</a> as they suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Fulham in the fifth round. The result added to an already difficult season for United, who, despite still being in contention for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruben-amorim-clear-path-success-unpopular-ineos-decisions-sir-jim-ratcliffe-man-utd-redundancies/bltede477e894e44439" target="_blank">Europa League success,</a> are enduring a dismal domestic campaign as the Red Devils currently sit 14th in the Premier League, a far cry from their past glories.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <em>Sky Sports,</em> Amorim said: "I don’t know if I’m going to be here, but the way we are thinking, we are going to return, and we are going to win in the future. But then it’s the risk. We are doing a lot of things, we are not winning games, and when you don’t win games sometimes you have to change people, and we know that.”</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Despite signing a contract that runs until 2027, with an option for an additional year, Amorim knows that time is not always a luxury in football. The club has placed its trust in him to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-tells-naive-ruben-amorim-lower-expectations-after-man-utd-boss-goal-win-premier-league/blt97eb22ff6b03b40b" target="_blank">lead a major rebuild, </a>but with United’s current form, patience among fans and the board may begin to wear thin.</p><p>“As a club, I think we are doing a lot of things that are hard to do,” Amorim said. “A lot of people in the staff are paying that price, but we are doing the things that we should do to win in the future.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While Amorim remains committed to transforming United, his path forward is filled with challenges. They must bury the ghosts of the FA Cup defeat as quickly as possible and refocus before they face Real Sociedad in a Europa League last-16 first leg clash on Thursday.</p><p>Following that, United will return to Premier League action against title contenders Arsenal, a match that will further test their resilience. A positive result against Mikel Arteta’s high-flying Gunners could help restore some confidence within the squad, while another setback would only intensify the scrutiny on Amorim.</p>
