Ruben Amorim says he has no regrets about Man United job but timing not ideal

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim said he has no regrets about taking the club’s job but feels the timing is not ideal. The Portuguese took over the coaching baton from former coach Erik Ten Hag in November.

But Amorim has managed only six wins in the Premier League after joining the Old Trafford-based club.

United is languishing at 14th place in the League standings with 39 points after 34 matches and they are all set to end the season with the lowest finish since 1990.

“No regrets,” said Amorim, when asked about his view on taking the United job. “Not in this moment. If you ask me four months ago, with all the problems, maybe you feel that feeling I should be stronger in saying I will start at the beginning of the season.

“But today, I had the feeling it is something that is going to help us in the future.

“We are suffering a lot here. There is a lot of frustration and a lot of suffering but I feel, in this moment, maybe because we are near the end, this is the most important time, maybe, in the next few years.

“We are going to use all the information to prepare better the next few years, so no regrets. I think this [club] is one of the best. This is the top [that] a coach can achieve, so no I have no regrets at all.”

The 40-year-old said they are in a rebuilding phase and they must look to come up with a collective effort.

“We lack a lot of things in the team,” he said. “You never saw this with Manchester United but you saw with a lot of big teams. You saw with Milan in the past, with a lot of problems. Big teams, when you get inside with one context, it is really hard.

“I understand in January, you were talking about Rashford and Antony, we lost these players and didn’t bring new ones. It was a risk. But there are things here that are more important than scoring 10 more goals this season.

“We are trying to do something that is more important. We can hurt the squad now but in the future it will help the club. I think we are in that path.”
