If the board and fans feel that I'm not the right person (for the job), I'll leave tomorrow without any demands for compensation, says the Portuguese.

The statement comes after the 0-1 loss to Premier League rival Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday.

But I won't resign. I'm confident in what I do. And as you can see, I won't change anything in how I do things, he continues.

Amorim left the coaching job at Sporting Lisbon in November and took over Manchester United after the club fired Erik ten Hag.

Under Amorim, there have only been six wins in the Premier League, and the big club will get its worst league position since the team was relegated from the top division in 1974.

For the first time since the 2014-2015 season, there will be no European football at Old Trafford.

It's tough for a club like this not to be in the Champions League, says Rúben Amorim.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will play in the Champions League next season - despite a mediocre league season with a 17th place ahead of Sunday's last round.

Thanks to the final win in the Europa League, the London club gets a spot in the finest club football tournament in the fall. The big hero in Bilbao was Brennan Johnson, who scored the final's only goal just before the break.
