Ruben Amorim: Man Utd head coach admits he questioned his future at club during 'tough' first year

Ruben Amorim has revealed that there were moments during his first year as Manchester United head coach when he questioned whether he would still be at the club after 12 months. The Portuguese manager admits that it was tough to deal with some of the losses, particularly in the Europa League final and early in the season.

Amorim says that there were times when he wondered if he had made the right decision by joining United, but he is now feeling more confident about his future at the club. He attributes this change of heart to the team's improvement over the past few weeks, particularly in their recent wins against Chelsea and Liverpool.

Despite the positive signs, Amorim remains cautious and warns that football can be unpredictable. He believes that his players are starting to trust him more, and that this will become more apparent as they win games and build momentum. The manager also points out that United are not a team where you can guarantee success, but rather one that needs to maintain focus and attention to detail.

Amorim's response to comments made by Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has also been revealed. While Dyche suggested that he could have won more games with a 4-4-2 formation, Amorim disagrees, saying that his own system may take time to pay off but will ultimately prove better. He praises Dyche as a smart and experienced manager who understands the game, but believes that coaching is different from just talking about it.

Amorim's comments come as United look to strengthen their challenge for a top-four finish in the Premier League. With five wins in their last seven games, they are in a better place than Amorim admits, but he knows that one bad result can derail their progress. He is confident that his team will continue to work hard and believe in themselves, which will ultimately lead to success.
 
๐Ÿค” so i think ruben amorim makes some valid points about football being unpredictable... i mean, you can't just rely on formations or tactics alone, you need your players to trust each other and the coach ๐Ÿ™Œ. personally, i think his 3-5-2 system has been decent lately, especially against those big teams like chelsea & liverpool ๐Ÿ‘Š. but yeah, it's great that he's still got some doubts about his future at man united... can't be easy being a manager, having to deal with all the pressure and expectations ๐Ÿคฏ. and btw, sean dyche is always good for a laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚, but i agree with amorim on this one, coaching isn't just about talking shop, it's about executing and getting results ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
omg i dont blame him for having doubts about staying at united its not an easy job lol but its awesome to see him feeling more confident now ๐Ÿคฉ especially with the recent wins against chelsea & liverpool that was a big turnaround im curious to see how he adapts his strategy with a 4-3-3 formation or if he'll stick with it ๐Ÿค” does anyone think united can make it to top four now?
 
๐Ÿค” I feel like Ruben Amorim's story is super relatable, you know? We've all been there where we doubt ourselves or our decisions at some point. But the key is to stay positive and focus on the progress you're making. ๐Ÿ“ˆ For me, it's all about breaking down big tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. It helps to stay organized and avoid feeling overwhelmed ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. And I'm a huge fan of morning routines - getting a head start on the day can do wonders for your mental clarity and productivity ๐Ÿ’ก
 
lol what a rollercoaster ride of emotions from Ruben Amorim ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜‚ i mean who wouldn't question their life choices after losing in the Europa League final? but for real tho, 12 months is a long time to be questioning your decisions ๐Ÿ˜… i'm glad he's feeling more confident now, but also let's not get ahead of ourselves here, United's still got a long way to go ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ช

so i guess what i'm saying is that coaching is like baking a cake, it takes time and practice to get the ingredients just right... or in this case, to figure out how to win some games ๐Ÿ˜‚ Dyche might have his 4-4-2, but Amorim's got this ๐Ÿ”ฅ (or so he hopes)
 
I'm still not convinced about this forum, btw ๐Ÿค”. It's like they're trying to make the biggest stars out of every single player. I mean, Ruben Amorim questioning his future at United after one year? That's just realistic. We've all been in that situation before and we didn't become world-class managers overnight.

And don't even get me started on how these coaches are always being quoted in the news ๐Ÿ“ฐ. It's like they're reading off a script or something. I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm more of an expert on football than these guys themselves ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Anyway, back to United... if Amorim thinks his 4-3-3 system is the way forward, I say let him give it a go ๐Ÿคž. At least he's not afraid to take risks and try something new. That takes guts, you know? ๐Ÿ’ช
 
๐Ÿค” The thing about Ruben Amorim's comments is that they're kinda revealing a lot about the team's mentality at the moment. I mean, for him to admit that he questioned his decision to join Manchester United after just 12 months is already saying something about the expectations around the club and how high the bar is being set.

But what really caught my eye was when he talks about the players starting to trust him more. That's a big deal because it means that the foundation of his coaching philosophy โ€“ whatever it may be โ€“ is finally starting to take hold. And I think he's right, too, in saying that this will become more apparent as they start winning games and building momentum.

It's also interesting to see how he responds to Sean Dyche's comments about formations. Amorim isn't afraid to defend his own approach, but at the same time, he shows respect for someone like Dyche who has a wealth of experience in the game. It just goes to show that you can disagree with people without losing your cool.

Overall, I think this is a positive sign for Manchester United. They're on the cusp of something special, and it's good to see Amorim and his team feeling confident and focused. ๐Ÿ†
 
I feel like Ruben's story is so relatable ๐Ÿคฏ especially when it comes to those tough moments in school where you're like "is this worth it?" For me, it was always the early morning classes that I dreaded ๐Ÿ˜ด but then my teachers started engaging us more and now they're actually pretty cool. It's funny how things change when you find the right system or support ๐Ÿค. As for the 4-4-2 vs his own system, I don't think coaches can just talk about it all day ๐Ÿ’ฌ we need to see what works on the pitch!
 
I'm telling you, Ruben's got it all wrong! I mean, have you seen the way United are playing lately? It's like they're on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ! But at the same time, I don't know if he's being realistic... I mean, five wins in seven games is awesome, but it could all go south in a split second. Like, one bad result and they'll be right back to square one ๐Ÿšซ.

And yeah, I agree with him on not needing to guarantee success, but can't we just take things one game at a time? It's not like we're playing for the title or anything... but seriously, if United keep this up, they might just surprise everyone and get that top-four spot ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. But what if it all falls apart? ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿค” I feel like Ruben Amorim's story is pretty relatable, you know? We've all been in situations where we doubt ourselves or our decisions, right? And it takes a lot of courage to admit when we're not feeling confident. Like, I remember during my first few months at my job, I was like "is this really what I'm meant to be doing?" But then I took some time to reflect and realized that I just needed to trust myself and my abilities.

It's cool that Amorim is now feeling more confident about his decision to take the Manchester United job. I think it's awesome that he's acknowledging the tough times, but also focusing on the positives like his team's recent wins. And yeah, football can be super unpredictable - you never know what's gonna happen from one game to the next! ๐Ÿ˜…
 
So Ruben Amorim thinks he's going to be alright at Man U after doubting himself? ๐Ÿค” I mean, come on, 12 months into the job and you're already questioning your decisions? That's just a sign of poor preparation, if you ask me. And what's with this 4-4-2 thing? Amorim is just sticking to his guns, refusing to listen to criticism from other managers like Sean Dyche. ๐Ÿ™„ I think that's where the problem lies - he needs to be more open to feedback and willing to adapt his strategy if it's not working.

And let's be real, five wins in seven games? That's not a challenge for a top-four spot, that's just a decent showing. Man U need to step up their game if they want to compete with the likes of City and Liverpool. Amorim's optimism is cute, but I'm not buying it yet ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
๐Ÿ˜Š I'm so glad Ruben Amorim has finally found some confidence in himself! ๐Ÿ™Œ I mean, who wouldn't doubt yourself when you're losing some big games? ๐Ÿ’” But seriously, his team's recent wins are a huge deal and it shows that all the hard work is paying off. ๐Ÿ‘ And honestly, I love how he's not being too cocky about their chances of success - one bad result can totally flip things around, right? ๐Ÿคฏ I also think it's cool how he's standing up to Sean Dyche, even if they have different opinions on formations. ๐Ÿ’ช Coaches are all about trusting your system and believing in your players! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
Wow, 12 months as Manchester United head coach was tough for Ruben Amorim, no kidding! ๐Ÿ˜… I mean, Europa League final loss and all those early season defeats... it's not like he expected a smooth ride or anything.

Interesting that he mentions his players starting to trust him more now. That makes sense, they need time to gel with each other and get used to the new system. 4-4-2 formation is a classic, but sometimes you gotta think outside the box, you know?

I love how Amorim's still not getting too cocky about it all. He knows football's unpredictable, and one bad result can flip everything on its head. But he's confident in his team, and that's what matters.

United's looking good right now, but they gotta keep pushing for those top-four spots. They can't afford to get complacent or anything...
 
I gotta say, Ruben Amorim's been through a lot as Man Utd boss, right? 12 months in and already doubting himself? That's gotta be tough, especially when you're dealing with some of those big losses ๐Ÿค•. But, I'm glad he's found his footing now - those recent wins against Chelsea and Liverpool must've given him some confidence boost ๐Ÿ’ช.

I think what impresses me most is that he's not getting ahead of himself or saying they'll automatically win all their games from now on. He knows the game can be unpredictable, and you gotta stay focused ๐Ÿ‘Š. Plus, I love how he's standing up for his own system and not being swayed by what others say ๐Ÿ™Œ.

It's also cool to see him giving props to Sean Dyche - that's good sportsmanship right there ๐Ÿ˜Š. And, honestly, I think United are in a better place than they're letting on - those last five wins have gotta be making them feel more optimistic about their season outlook ๐Ÿ“ˆ.

๐Ÿค• just got some bad news from man utd... Ruben Amorim was doubting his own future at the club last year ๐Ÿ˜ณ apparently he thought about leaving after 12 months ๐Ÿšซ who wouldn't want to bail on a struggling team? but now that they've started winning games, he's feeling more confident ๐Ÿ’ช just remember, in football, anything can happen... and sometimes teams just have bad days ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
