Ruben Amorim finds it strange that his job at Manchester United is safe, even if she loses the Europa League -final, while Ange Postecoglou is in danger of being fired, even if Tottenham Hotspur wins.
United Face Spurs in the San Mames Stadium of Bilbao on Wednesday in the final of Europe's Secondary Club competition, despite the fact that both teams have endured terrible domestic seasons and occupy the two places above the degradation zone in the Premier League.
Asked why he was not under the same edition as Postecoglou in his press conference before the competition, he replied: “I don't know”, as quoted by the Guardian.
“People, especially the board, understand that we have many problems that are really difficult in the context. I don't know how to explain it [why] The fans like me at the moment. It's hard to explain. I will try to prove myself to the fans, to the board, but I have no explanation for you. “
Amorim acknowledged that, despite a bad season away from European competition, he was not worried about his work. Currently, 16th, United is on course for their lowest Premier League finish and the worst in the top flight since they finished 21st and were relegated in 1973-74.

“It's a good thing for me. I never worry about that. That is a part of the coach. And the most important thing, I know what I do. I explained everything before we start, I explain about the storm [that would come]”He said.
“I explain all the problems that we have on the board. I explained that I will not change my idea. So they can't say one thing that I said to get the job and then I change my mind. It was the opposite. The board can understand that, the fans can understand that.”
But with the final of the Europa League approaching, he would not be attracted to how long it would take to change the domestic fortunes of United.
“It's hard to talk about that because we have to be enthusiastic [about the final] And confident, but we already know the problems, “he said.
“Tomorrow will be important for us and for our fans, because winning can help us to have that power to do every task we have to do. Tomorrow will be enormous for us and our fans.”
