RISKY BUSINESS

Sticking to my principles is tough but I believe we can become better for it

- DAVID MCDONNELL

RUBEN AMORIM says he is more worried about losing games than being sacked by Man United.

The Old Trafford boss is under pressure after seven defeats in 13 Premier League games have left his struggling side down in the bottom half of the table.

But Amorim, who takes his side to fellow strugglers Tottenham today, said losing games is more of an issue for him than the prospect of losing his new big job in football.

The Portuguese coach, 40, has refused to compromise on his system and approach, despite it not yielding results and leaving him at risk of getting the boot.

"I accept that," said Amorim. "It's a choice you make when you're a coach, but I truly believe in the way I do things.

"I know at this kind of club, with this kind of pressure, you're always at risk.

"I'm aware of that, but it's not my biggest concern.

"Losing games is the hardest part of my job, not being sacked. I just want to win games."
