The United, which won the league for the last time in 2013 with Alex Ferguson, occupied the 14th position on the table and removed from the FA Cup yesterday Sunday after disappearing in Fulham in penalties.

I don’t know how long it will take. We have a goal and we will continue no matter what,” Amorim told ‘BBC’ after the loss of Sunday.

Rooney, who won the league five times with the United During his career as a player, said the United was far from fighting for the title. “I think it’s a bit naive to say that they expect to win the Premier League because from where they are today … They are far from that,” he said of the BBC’s ‘Match of the Day’ program. “Get on top of the table, I think that’s the next step for them.”

Do not put deadlines

Being naive is to think we will do it at this time or that we will be the best contender next time. I know that at this time everyone knows everything. I am an expert …” he said at the press meeting after the game.

“It may not be with me, but our goal, as a club, is to win the Premier League as we did in the past with all the great glory and legend of this club. We were at a difficult time and I wasn’t dumb. That’s why I’m here, at 40, training in Manchester United.”
