'To go to the games and know that we weren't going to be competitive-that was hardest part'

AMORIM FEARED UNITED MATCHES LAST SEASON

- From David McDonnell in Atlanta

MANCHESTER UNITED head coach Ruben Amorim has revealed he dreaded going to games last season — because he knew his side were not good enough to compete.

The Portuguese took over from Erik ten Hag in November and won just seven of his 27 Premier League games, as the Red Devils finished the season in 15th place.

It led Amorim to question whether he was good enough for United, and he even offered to quit with no compensation if the club felt that was right.

But they stood by him and he has carried on the task of reviving the fallen giants.

“To tell you the truth it was not how I returned to my house after the games,” said Amorim during a break from United’s US tour.

“It was how I left to go to the games because I felt that sometimes we would struggle.
