'I know I'm taking risks but it will pay off': Amorim says he is aware blame might shift onto him if results don't improve
Ruben Amorim stays defiant despite Man United's terrible season so far. The boss spoke to the media ahead of United's FA Cup clash with Leicester City this evening.
When asked if he is worried that the blame may start to shift onto him if results don't improve, he said: "Yeah, that is clear. It is also exciting!
"I know when I choose this profession that you have the risk of the results and I already knew when I came here, I look at the schedule, I look at the team and I understood that my decision of changing everything, taking these hard decisions in the middle of the season without new signings, it’s a danger for the coach.
"But since day one, with good results or bad results, I have a clear idea of what I want to do and I take these risks because, in the end, I think it’s going to pay off in the end.
"But I know, I’m not naïve, I already said that many times, that this is a sport of results and we are in a difficult situation."
