Amorim Refuses To Resign As United Face Pressure

Ruben Amorim says he will not resign and insists the decision lies with Manchester United’s board, while acknowledging that positive results are essential as pressure mounts after a poor start to the season. United were eliminated from the League Cup by Grimsby, have no European football after finishing 15th last season, and currently sit 14th in the Premier League with seven points from six matches. Amorim’s overall league record at the club stands at nine wins, 17 defeats and seven draws in 33 games, and he said losing matches 'hurts' him but that the project requires results to continue. Key players Amad Diallo and Tyrell Malacia have returned to first-team training ahead of the upcoming match against Sunderland, offering reinforcements. With fewer fixtures, Amorim confirmed the club will schedule mid-season friendlies to raise revenue and backed extra overseas games — increasing the likelihood of a meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr — while managerial speculation continues, with names such as Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner linked as potential successors.
