""Nobody here is naive," Amorim told a news conference on Friday. "We understand that we need results to continue the project. "We will reach a point that is impossible for everyone because this is a very big club with a lot of sponsors, with two owners. So it's hard, the balance is really hard.""
""I'm the manager of the club, a big club," he said. "And it's the media that is going to dictate what I'm going to do? It cannot be. It's not possible to sustain that.""
Ruben Amorim faces intense scrutiny as Manchester United manager after winning nine of 33 Premier League matches since his appointment ten months ago. Amorim acknowledges that co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and commercial and ownership pressures make continued faith difficult if results do not improve. United last lost to a newly promoted team at Old Trafford in November 2021. Four of Amorim's nine league wins have come against promoted sides. Sunderland have started the season strongly with 11 points from six games, presenting a significant challenge. Amorim refuses to abandon his 3-4-3 system despite calls to change formation.
