JAKARTA - Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that he is struggling for his job in the second half of the season while accepting that the club has taken risks with their approach in the January 2025 transfer window.

Amorim has lost seven times to 13 Premier League games since taking over as Manchester United coach in November 2024.

There is no indication that the start - which includes five league defeats at Old Trafford - has put pressure on his position.

However, the 40-year-old said the team's performance meant that everyone was threatened.

"We are struggling for our work until summer. I know when I choose this profession, you will face the risk of results."

"I knew when I came here I saw the schedule, I saw the team, and I understood my decision to change everything in the middle of a season without new players, it was dangerous for a coach."

"However, from day one, with good or bad results, I have a clear idea of what I want to do."

"I took this risk because in the end I thought it would come to fruition."

"I'm not naive, I've said it many times. It's a sports result and we're in a difficult situation," Amorim told a news conference ahead of the FA Cup match against Leicester City on Friday, February 7, 2025.

There are concerns among supporters that Manchester United will face a difficult period between now and summer due to a lack of club transfer business during the January 2025 transfer window.

Defending players Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven have arrived, but the option of a Amorious striker has eased following the departure of Antony and Marcus Rashford.

Tim sudah berjuang untuk mencetak gol dan Amorim menerima pendekatan hati-hati pada Januari 2025 sebagai risiko.

"That's my decision. We took some risks, but that's the way we want to go forward."

"We want to win some games, we can improve our team. We will have time to train because I always complain about the time to train."

"So now we have time to train and the team will improve. The players, I want certain types of players with different profiles. We will change soon," said the Portuguese coach.

Meanwhile, the amorious prematch press conference was the first since the transfer of Rashford's loan to Aston Villa was confirmed.

The Manchester United coach has been answering questions about Rashford for more than a month and joked that he is pleased to leave the responsibility to Villa boss, Unai Emery.

"Fortunately about Marcus, he is now in Birmingham with Unai. So, you can ask these questions to other coaches. We only focus on our players," Amorim said.
