Ruben Amorim remains unswayed by Manchester United's disappointing performance statistics, including a recent defeat to Crystal Palace, marking the seventh loss in 13 games since his appointment. Despite the team's struggles, currently placed 13th in the Premier League with a -6 goal difference, Amorim feels assured of backing from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. He discussed the difficulties in adjusting mid-season and affirmed he had communicated potential risks to the board prior to accepting the position. He also commented on Marcus Rashford's loan to Aston Villa, asserting that coaching styles greatly influence player performance.
I explained all the risks. Everything that has happened I explained to the board before taking over, and they said the same thing: We need to start now.
It's a little bit harder for me to cope with that [poorer results] than the board, because the board already knows what might happen under him.
What I say is I couldn't put Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it.
I just wish the best to Rashford and Unai Emery, and they can connect because he's a very good player.
