Rúben Amorim isn’t shying away from the weight of expectations as Manchester United prepare to take on Tottenham this Sunday.

With both teams struggling in the bottom half of the table, the pressure is mounting on both managers.

However, Amorim insists that leading United comes with a heavier burden compared to Ange Postecoglou’s role at Spurs.

Respect for Postecoglou but a Bigger Challenge for Amorim

Despite the competition, Amorim has nothing but admiration for Postecoglou.

“I’m a huge fan of Ange Postecoglou,” he admitted.

“I understand why people draw comparisons between us.

We both stick to our football philosophies no matter what.

But with all due respect, I’m at a bigger club with bigger pressure.”

While acknowledging the challenges Postecoglou faces, Amorim believes the demands at United far outweigh those at Spurs.

“He’s a great coach and a great guy who wants to play football the right way.

But in this profession, you have to embrace the pressure, especially when results don’t go your way.”

The Battle to Stay Afloat

Although United sit 12 points above the relegation zone, Amorim refuses to let his players become complacent.

He’s well aware that in football, fortunes can change in an instant.

“There’s no way to feel comfortable looking at the table right now,” he warned.

“We are Manchester United. We have to win the next game, improve our performances, and do better.

There’s no such thing as a comfortable position at this club.”

What’s Next?

As United and Spurs prepare for Sunday’s showdown, both managers will be hoping to prove their resilience.

While Postecoglou remains committed to his attacking philosophy, Amorim is determined to handle the pressure that comes with managing one of football’s biggest clubs.

One thing is certain—neither side can afford to slip up.
