Ruben Amorim feels Man Utd pressure greater than at Tottenham
The two underperforming Premier League sides go toe-to-toe in north London on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim claims he is under greater pressure than Tottenham counterpart Ange Postecoglou because Manchester United are a “bigger club”.
Sunday sees the underperforming Premier League sides go toe-to-toe in north London, with the hosts entering the weekend in 14th place and two points behind the misfiring Red Devils in 13th.
It has been a league campaign to forget for both teams and pressure has built on Spurs boss Postecoglou, who has been criticised at times for sticking to his principles.
“I’m a huge fan of Ange Postecoglou,” the United boss said.
“Of course I am from a different culture. I’m Portuguese and you know all the Portuguese coaches they can adapt, and I adapt.
“The simple thing is that I use one system in the moment because I believe if you work on that system you can play in different systems at the same time.
“That is my idea but we are not winning games, and I understand the connection between me and Ange. We have the same problems.
“In my opinion, with all due respect, I’m in a bigger club with a bigger pressure, so I understand the connection, and I think it’s really important for the coach to follow his principles.”
“He’s a very good coach. He wants to play football in the right way and that is, for me, a good thing.
“We know that, again, when we choose this kind of profession there is a lot of good things, but then you have to feel that pressure when you don’t win.”
