Amorim “not worried” about his job security
United suffered a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, dropping to 15th in the table.
Amorim has now lost eight of his 14 league games since replacing Erik ten Hag.
However, the Portuguese said he is more concerned about being in the bottom half of the table than about potentially losing his job.
“I am not worried, I understand our fans what the media think about it,” he told BBC.
“I hate to lose, that feeling is the worst.”
“The rest I am not thinking about. I am here to help my players. I understand my situation, my job, I am confident in my work and I just want to win games.
“The place in the table is my worry, I am not worried about me.”
“The hardest competition in the world”
Aside from Tottenham, United is also dealing with a string of player injuries.
Amad Diallo suffered an ankle injury in training, ruling him out for most of the season.
Amorim’s lack of options was clear on Sunday, with Victor Lindelof as the only recognized first-team player among a group of untested teenagers.
Amorim called up only Chido Obi-Martin, bringing him on in the closing moments of the game and explaining he was acting cautiously.
“It is the hardest competition in the world. I am trying to be careful with them,” he said. “I felt the team was pushing for the goal and I felt I don’t want to change. But they will play.”
“You try to read the game, understand what you see in training. The team were pushing for the goal and I didn’t feel the need to change.”
