Ruben Amorim huolissaan asemastaan Manchester Unitedissa – vertaa itseään Artetan alkuvuosiin Arsenalissa

Manchester United’s head coach Rúben Amorim has expressed concerns about his position at the club, drawing comparisons to Mikel Arteta’s early years at Arsenal. Amorim believes the pressures he faces are far greater than those Arteta experienced and doubts that United’s management will be as patient with him as Arsenal was with the Spanish coach.

Amorim’s Concerns About Job Security

Amorim highlighted that Arsenal and Manchester United are fundamentally different in terms of expectations and management style. While Arteta was given time to rebuild the squad and implement his philosophy, Amorim fears that he may not receive the same level of support at United.

The Demands of the Europa League

The Portuguese coach also pointed out the difficulties of competing in the Europa League alongside the Premier League. In his view, the Europa League presents a greater challenge than the Champions League—not in terms of opposition quality but due to its impact on player recovery. Thursday night fixtures force teams to recover quickly before weekend league matches, making it a grueling schedule.

Q&A Interview with Amorim

Why did you compare your concerns about your job at Manchester United to Arteta’s situation at Arsenal?

Amorim: I will not be given the same time as Arteta. Arsenal is, in my opinion, a completely different club. The way Arteta handled the club’s issues is an inspiration to everyone.

What do you think about the challenge of being in the Europa League?

Amorim: The Europa League is much harder than the Champions League, not in terms of matches, but in terms of recovery before weekend games in the Premier League. We have to cope with that.
