"I came here to be the manager of Manchester United, not to be the coach of Manchester United. That is clear. I know that my name is not [Thomas] Tuchel, it's not [Jose] Mourinho, it's not [Antonio] Conte, but I'm the manager of Manchester United, and it's going to be like this for 18 months or when the board decides to change. I'm not going to quit. I will do my job until another guy is here to replace me."
"If people cannot handle the Gary Nevilles and the criticisms of everything, we need to change the club. I just want to say that I came here to be the manager of Manchester United, not just the coach. Every department - the scouting department, the sport director - needs to do their job for 18 months, then we move on."
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds United at Elland Road as Matheus Cunha cancelled Brenden Aaronson's opener. The Red Devils have registered seven draws this season, six occurring in their last 11 matches (W3 L2). Amorim, named head coach last season, denied behind-the-scenes friction following questions about earlier comments on style of play and transfer budgets. He criticised selective information and insisted he was appointed as the manager, not merely the coach, and pledged to remain in charge for 18 months or until the board acts. He refused to quit and called for all departments to perform their roles. United had 15 shots but only two on target.
