Ruben Amorim maintains he has no regrets about taking charge of Manchester United, even as the club endures one of its worst seasons in modern history.
The Portuguese coach, who replaced Erik ten Hag in November, admitted he initially wanted to finish the campaign with Sporting Lisbon before moving to Old Trafford.
But despite United languishing in 15th place and heading for a record-low Premier League points total, Amorim believes the suffering will build a stronger future.
“We are suffering a lot here, but this will help us,” he said ahead of Sunday’s trip to Bournemouth. “No regrets. This is the top of what a coach can achieve.”
United, already staring at their lowest finish since relegation in 1974, remain alive in the Europa League with a semi-final first leg against Athletic Bilbao looming on Thursday.
Amorim, desperate to revive a beleaguered side, praised fans for standing by him and insisted the club’s January decision to loan Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa was a necessary risk for long-term growth.
