Ruben Amorim described as “embarrassing” a few days ago as the coach of Manchester United talk about the threat of relegation, but after Monday’s miserable 2-0 defeat in the Premier League against Newcastle United, he admitted it was the reality his side were facing. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Joelinton headed in early goals to hand the Amorim side their fifth defeat in their last six league games. They entered the new year in 14th place in the table, closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League positions.
“I think (relegation) is a possibility and we have to be clear with our fans. We have to change something, but this season will be very hard for everyone. It can make us stronger and we have to fight,” said Amorim . “It’s also my fault right now, because I think the team didn’t improve, it lost a bit. So it’s a bit embarrassing to be the United manager and lose so many games. But we have to face those difficult moments in everyone’s life.”
Amorim has had anything but a dream start to his United career, suffering five defeats in his first eight league games, the worst record for a Manchester United manager in 103 years. Asked about his stubbornness in the 3-4-3 system, he defended himself: “Of course, I didn’t choose the players specifically for that position, but I already know that. I have to sell my idea, if I have to It will change all the time It is worse but I understand that they have a lot of difficulties, because they have been playing in one way for two years and now they have to play in another way it is very difficult for them and you can feel it during my idea.
