Ruben Amorim made clear under what circumstances he would walk away from his position at United - but one ex-Premier League star doesn't believe him(Image: Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty Images)

Ruben Amorim has claimed he will walk away from Manchester United if the "board and the fans feel I'm not the right guy".

But one ex-Premier League star has made clear he doesn't believe the Red Devils head coach.

Even more pressure has been piled on Amorim and the rest of the squad following their 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday.



The Red Devils were favourites in Bilbao, but a scrappy Brennan Johnson goal on the stroke of half time sealed the deal for Spurs.

It handed Tottenham their first piece of silverware in 17 years, while for United, the loss means they will finish this season trophyless and without any European glory since 2017.

Post-match, Amorim told the media that he would walk away from the job at Old Trafford if the club's hierarchy and supporters show they believe he isn't in a place to take the team any further – but he still feels he is the man for the job.

The 40-year-old said: "But I will not quit again.

The ex-Germany international, who had stints at Anfield as well as with Manchester City and Newcastle United, is adamant that the Red Devils will have to sack Amorim and pay up his wages if they really want a change in leadership next season.

Speaking to BettingLounge.co.uk, Hamann said: "Walking out on Manchester United would mean Ruben Amorim forfeits three years of wages and I don’t think we will see a manager do that.

"If they want to get rid of them, they're probably going to sack him."

Hamann also observed that the position the United players find themselves in is a tough one, and that the boss may be running out of messages of belief for a side that is winless in its last eight games.

He added: "The thing is you go there, you've got ideas, and things have to work pretty quick because then people believe you, people follow you.

"Now, if you get beat every week, sometimes you run out of things to say because you can't say to the lads: 'Listen lads, was a one-off, we're on the right path.' And you get beat again, what are you gonna say?

"If it happens five or six times, sometimes you just run out of things to say.

I think that's the stage where it is now."

Since Amorim joined in November 2024, United have been dumped out of three separate cup competitions, dropped from 13th to 16th place in the Premier League, and been defeated in the Europa League final by fellow domestic strugglers Spurs.

While their results in recent times in Europe have shown hope, including 3-0 and 4-1 wins over Athletic Club, fans are growing restless with the lack of success and real signs of progress around a club that was once so dominant in English football.

Club captain Bruno Fernandes has backed Amorim to bring United back on top of the perch, as he said: "We just agreed that he's the right man.

And we all agree that he's the right man."
