Ruben Amorim issues response to Man Utd sack fears after Europa League final loss

Ruben Amorim has again maintained he will leave "without hesitation" if the hierarchy do not think he's the right man for the job. The 40-year-old is having to digest another blow after

The Portuguese manager hasn't even been in charge for a year but he's struggled to make a positive impact and has said on several occasions he would leave his role if others felt he couldn't deliver. His team have endured a horrendous season, but had hope in Europe.

That is now over after losing to . Brennan Johnson scored the winner for Tottenham, who can now boast about beating the Manchester outfit for times this season. Amorim's selection will come in for scrutiny with struggling to impact the game despite starting ahead of Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine turned out to be among the team's brightest sparks when he emerged from the bench.

Amorim's style and philosophy have not helped the team and the former Sporting Lisbon man has refused to shown any pragmatism or changes his ways and knows that may prove costly - which is fine with him.

Already there are doubts around Amorim, who has been unable to enjoy any new manager bounce since arriving in Manchester. He rocked up in November but has struggled for results with their European exploits covering for horrendous domestic form.

After losing to recently Amorim shouldered all the blame for their failings as he said: He said: "It's not the players' fault. It's my fault, I'm responsible. If we cannot change that really fast, we should give our place to different persons".
