Ruben Amorim recently opened up about the pressure he’s facing at Manchester United, and he didn’t hold back when comparing it to the challenges Ange Postecoglou is dealing with at Tottenham.

As United prepares for their match against Spurs on Sunday, Amorim made it clear that while he sympathizes with Postecoglou, he believes his own situation is more demanding.

Struggling Teams, High Stakes

Both Manchester United and Tottenham find themselves underperforming, sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

United is currently in 13th, just ahead of Spurs, and both clubs are desperate to avoid slipping further into the relegation zone.

With that kind of pressure, both coaches have faced their fair share of criticism for sticking to their principles despite not seeing the immediate results they hoped for.

Amorim’s Take on Postecoglou and the Pressure at United

Amorim expressed his admiration for Postecoglou, saying he’s a big fan of the Spurs boss and understands the struggles they share.

However, he also pointed out that the expectations are higher at a club like Manchester United.

“I’m a huge fan of Ange Postecoglou,” Amorim explained.

“We face similar problems, but with all due respect, I’m at a bigger club with bigger pressure.

It’s important to stick to our principles, but that comes with the weight of the expectations.”

Despite the pressures, Amorim respects Postecoglou’s desire to play attractive, attacking football, acknowledging that it’s a noble pursuit in their line of work.

But, as Amorim put it, the reality of this job means you have to manage the pressure when results don’t come.

The Threat of Relegation is Real

While United is 12 points clear of the relegation zone, Amorim isn’t taking any chances.

He believes the club can’t afford to get comfortable and must stay focused on the immediate task of winning.

“The table makes it impossible to feel comfortable right now,” he said.

“We need to win and improve our performance.

At Manchester United, there’s no such thing as a comfortable situation. We have to keep pushing and performing better.”

As both teams gear up for a crucial match this weekend, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both managers and their squads.

The pressure is mounting, and the next few weeks could be pivotal in determining their respective fates this season.
