"I didn't have the time to settle down, to understand that my job is not just the pitch, it's outside the pitch, [it] is to push for everyone. I felt like, last year, I was really emotional all the time, because I was struggling with the results. I'm always saying that this is going to take time, but I'm the guy that has the bigger responsibility to take care of everything and to control the emotions a little bit better."
"Amorim took over last November following Erik ten Hag's exit, but the Portuguese oversaw a dismal domestic campaign for United, one which saw them finish in the bottom half of the Premier League for the first time as they ended the year 15th. United did reach the final of the Europa League, but suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, denying them Champions League football for this season. Amorim came in for consistent criticism for his stubbornness in refusing to change his system, while he was regularly downbeat in interviews and press conferences."
Ruben Amorim took charge at Manchester United last November after Erik ten Hag's exit and oversaw a poor domestic campaign that left the club 15th in the Premier League. United reached the Europa League final but lost 1-0 to Tottenham, missing Champions League qualification. Amorim faced criticism for refusing to change his system and for a downbeat demeanour in media appearances. United have improved since an early-season low, losing only two of their last nine matches and sitting seventh, but they have dropped points in several games. Amorim said he felt overwhelmed and stressed the need to manage responsibilities and control emotions.
