Fabrizio Romano: Ruben Amorim stance on quitting as Manchester United head coach

Ruben Amorim has no plans to quit as Manchester United head coach despite their poor start to the new Premier League season. The Portuguese manager is under huge pressure to turn things around at Old Trafford after losing four of the first seven matches of the new campaign, including an embarrassing exit to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.

A report this week claimed Amorim could quit his position at the club rather than be sacked, though the 40-year-old is desperate to turn United's fortunes around and be the man to bring them success. United are sticking by Amorim after he was backed with £216 million in the summer transfer window and want to see what he can do in a full season with the club.

It is still only early days in the season, but Amorim's position could become untenable if there is not a massive improvement in terms of both performances and results anytime soon. However, it is understood he does not currently have any plans to quit his role despite the huge scrutiny.

Romano reveals Amorim stance on quitting

Manchester United are back in action when they host Sunderland in the Premier League this weekend and will hope to secure three points against one of the surprise packages of the campaign. The fixtures don't get any easier after the October international break, with a home match against Brighton in the middle of trips to face Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.

Ruben Amorim could reach a point of no return if United do not show huge improvement across the next five matches, though Fabrizio Romano does not expect him to quit his position. Writing in the latest GIVEMESPORT newsletter, he revealed what he had heard about those rumours.

"I’m not aware of anything about that," Romano wrote. "He’s focused on doing his best for Manchester United. Then we have to wait for next games and see what happens."

United will have Casemiro and Amad Diallo available to face Sunderland on Saturday, while Tyrell Malacia also returned to first-team training earlier in the week. Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez have both been ruled out of the match due to injury.
