Ruben Amorim admits that he is in a hurry to win trophies at Manchester United. However, with club officials, he found it necessary time to achieve success at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese manager has struggled to turn Manchester United around since taking over from Erik ten Hag in November 2024.

The club is 13th in the Premier League, with two wins in the last five games and was knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham earlier this month.

The Europa League emerged as the club's only chance to win trophies and secure tickets to European tournaments next season.

They qualified for the Europa League quarter-finals after winning 5-2 on aggregate against Real.

Despite the increasing pressure on the 40-year-old, co-owner of Manchester United, Sir Jim Radcliffe, said he hoped the man would be in control for a long time.

Amory also talks about his strong relationship with Ratcliffe and the entire hierarchy, saying they all have the same goals.

"They know who I am. I was very clear when we had interviews and conversations. I was very clear about what type of person I was, so now it's easy to have a relationship like this."

"Then, they knew we needed time, but I was always in a hurry. I don't know if it's because of my age or not, I don't know."

"However, I'm always in a hurry. So, I think they like it because I want to win. They want to win. We're similar in that aspect. We're in a hurry. We want to win."

"It's a special club. Everyone knows that if we turn things around, it's a special feeling we have for each other. We are very confident in what we do," Amorim said in an interview with Sky Sports.

The players also felt confidence in this project, especially Rasmus Hojlund.

Strikers who are less than optimal this season have scored just seven goals in all competitions -- the last in December 2024 -- before scoring a goal in Manchester United's 3-0 win over Leicester City on March 17, 2025.

However, Amorim spoke of the value given the Danish international to the team by highlighting the role Hojlund played when he controlled the ball.

"People can't see it, but I saw it and Rasmus did a lot of good."

"However, he was at a moment when as a striker you need to score. Sometimes when he has chances or balls, he has difficulty because of his lack of confidence."

"It's just that, the work he did in the match helped us, for example, reach the stage of this tournament (Erupa League and England)," said Amorim again.

There are nine Premier League games left in the future and Manchester United will face Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals in April 2025.
