"When he turned up to watch his first game Ratcliffe was afforded a hero’s welcome. I understand why. Desperate United fans wanted to believe. Initially they did believe, but it’s all gone horribly wrong hasn’t it?" Keys .
"It's never been as bad as it is now. He’s reduced United to little more than bits and pieces. I’m afraid to say - a laughing stock. I genuinely want to see United back at the top table of English football, but they’re light years from re-joining the best.
"They’ve got a manager who clearly doesn’t want to be there - a cycling expert in charge of football matters and an owner flailing about without a clue what to do next - except sack more good people."
Amorim insisted he was committed to the project at Old Trafford following the dismal loss at Spurs. He claimed he has 'no worries' about his future despite his struggles in the dugout.
"You start with one idea. We were asking about a long week for so long. And we worked our principles but day after day, you lose players that change your approach to the game. And when you are changing all the time to get the players to react to the base, it's really hard," Amorim said.
“I think the best thing is to forget the past. Don’t focus on the schedule, don’t focus on the moment, don’t focus on the context. It’s just work during the week and prepare the game. Then is the next game and we will try to win the game.
"I am not worried. I understand our fans, what the people and media think about it. I want to finish the league strong, I’m not worried about me, I’m worried about the club, the team, the players. I hate to lose; that feeling is the worst.
"The rest I am not thinking about. I just want to help my players. I understand my situation, my job, I am confident on my work and I just want to win games. I am more concerned about the club and the team and the place in the table is my worry. I am not worried about me."
