Ruben Amorim asked if he regrets taking Man Utd job as squad get frustrated

insists he harbours no regrets about taking the Manchester United job despite the club's position in the table. The Portuguese tactician insists he's reached the pinnacle of his career even as the Red Devils risk their lowest league finish in half a century. And he is convinced that enduring recent hardships will pay dividends once he fully stamps his authority on the team.

Amorim said: "No regrets, not in this moment. If you had asked me four months ago, with all the problems, maybe I would have felt stronger about starting at the beginning of the season. But today, I have a feeling that this is something that is going to help us in the future. We are suffering a lot here. There's a lot of frustration because of the suffering.

"But I feel that, in this moment, maybe because it's near the end (of the season), that this is the most important time for the next few years.

"We are going to use all the information to prepare better for the next few years. So no regrets. I think this is the top of what a coach can achieve, so I have no regrets at all."

With only six victories out of 22 Premier League matches under his belt, Amorim takes United to Bournemouth to face off with the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium.

Despite previously labelling his squad as potentially the worst in United's history, Amorim believes they can turn their fortunes around by clinching the Europa League title and securing a Champions League spot. The Red Devils are set to take on Athletic Bilbao in Spain in a semi-final first leg this Thursday.

Amorim, who staunchly sticks to his three-at-the-back strategy despite the struggles of his players, acknowledges the unwavering support from United fans but is aware that patience will wear thin without positive results next term.

The United boss added: "I think the fans are special. I know the people understand what we are trying to do. But I also know that this moment, without results and sometimes without performances, the support of the fans will finish next season.

"Maybe I am the worst coach and we are the worst team because we had the worst results in the history of Manchester United. That is a fact. But I think we are improving, the way we play.

"So I have no regrets on joining Manchester. I have a lot of regrets in the week after we have lost a game. I have a lot of regrets in small things."

"I am always doubting what we did in the past while trying to improve but if you look at these last six months I should have a lot of regrets about us being better in certain moments.

"I have nothing to say. I don't like to defend myself - and I cannot defend myself with these results. They say I have one idea how to play. People say I have one system but in that I can see ways that can adapt into different systems.

"I know it's tough. I know it's different. But I have nothing to say to the critics because if you look at the results they are right. I will let the results in the future speak for me."
