Ruben Amorim said that his concern was more of Manchester United’s position than his job security after he supervised an eighth defeat of his 14 Premier League Play responsible in Tottenham on Sunday.
United is closer to the relegation zone than the top sixth afterwards James Maddison scored the only goal of the game in the 13th minute and left the visitors 12 points over the lower three in 15th place.
“(Tottenham) are so open and stretch the team,” Amorim told Sky Sports. “(The criticisms of United) You see and discuss every week, I also see.
“I have a lot of problems; My job is so difficult here. But I stay with my beliefs. In the end they achieved, we didn’t do it. That was the big difference in the game. We had a lot of chances, but in the end they achieved one and we didn’t. “

Tottenham against Man United
Amorim was visibly horrified when Alejandro Garnacho lifted the best chance of United over the crossbar shortly after Tottenham’s goal.
The Portuguese said that an ankle injury from Amad Diallo, which he expected to end the attacker’s season, hindered his tactical plan, but added that he was satisfied with United’s threat.
“The first step is to create situations,” he considered. “We had games in which we are around the box and have not created any situations.
“But in this game, not good with two teams, a goal would always make the difference. We worked on our principles, but every day they lose players who change their approach to the game.
“I couldn’t play with Joshua (Zirkzee) like with Amad. Sometimes they want Bruno (Fernandes) to reach the ball under construction because he is really good at changing the game. But then you also want to press Bruno and it’s really difficult. “
“I have a lot of problems, my job is so difficult!” 🗣
