In making his point to the media on Sunday, Ruben Amorim raised the names of three high-profile former Premier League bosses and suggested they would not be subjected to the interference he felt he had been experiencing at Manchester United.
“I know that my name is not [Thomas] Tuchel, it’s not [Antonio] Conte, it’s not [Jose] Mourinho, but I’m the manager of Manchester United.
“And it’s going to be like this for 18 months or when the board decides to change.
“I’m not going to quit. I will do my job until another guy is coming here to replace me.”
Amorim also floated the idea that United have become too sensitive to outside criticism, naming Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United player Gary Neville.
“If people cannot handle the Gary Nevilles and the criticisms of everything, we need to change the club,” he said.
