An injury-hit United lost 1-0 at Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday (16.02.25) to continue their miserable season and the coach is stunned by the scale of the task that he faces at Old Trafford.

Amorim told Sky Sports: "I have a lot of problems. My job is so hard but I’m here to continue my job to the next week with my beliefs. I will try to do it, I will try to win again.

"In this moment it is more than the idea or system. In this moment it is like survive and to think the small things, improve the small things for the next game, to not even look at the table or the schedule or nothing.

"Of course I have to because we have a lot of games and we have three competitions with a small squad at the moment.

"That part is my part but the players, everyone in Carrington, just focus on the next game, the next training and that is our goal.

"Just focus on the next game and let’s do everything to win some games to finish the season and then think in the big picture.

"In this moment it is to try to keep the players healthy, recover some players and to focus on what we have to in the next game. That is our goal."

United had to name eight teenagers on the bench amid an injury crisis and Amorim is at a loss to explain why so many fitness problems have happened at the same time for his side.

The Portuguese coach said: "I think it is everything together.

"Amad (Diallo) was alone. He was doing a tackle. The feet were sticking in the grass and some players felt during training sickness so it is everything.

"Sometimes in moments, everything goes wrong but we have to face the challenge and focus on the next game. That’s all."
