Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim did not hold back his frustration after his side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, the Portuguese coach admitted that his job at Old Trafford is proving to be more challenging than expected.
“My job is hard here,” Amorim confessed. “We are trying to implement changes, but results like this make it difficult. The players are giving their best, but we need more quality in key moments.”
United fell behind early in the game when James Maddison pounced on a defensive lapse in the 13th minute to put Spurs ahead. Despite some second-half chances, including a close effort from Alejandro Garnacho, United struggled to break down a well-organized Tottenham defense.

This latest defeat continues United’s inconsistent run under Amorim, who has been under increasing pressure since taking over the managerial role. With the team now languishing in 15th place, questions are being raised about whether the Portuguese tactician has the resources needed to turn things around.
As United fans grow impatient, Amorim will need to find solutions quickly to salvage the season. Their next fixture will be crucial in determining whether the manager can steer the Red Devils back on course or if the struggles at Old Trafford will only deepen.
