There is said to be \u2018growing tension\u2019 between Ruben Amorim and Manchester United\u2019s Director of Football, Jason Wilcox.<\/p>\n

According to Ben Jacobs, the INEOS chief wants Amorim to be more \u2018tactically adaptable\u2019 amid continued turbulent and inconsistent form, with United most recently dropping points to newly-promoted Leeds United earlier this afternoon.<\/p>\n

From Amorim\u2019s point of view, he is \u2018disappointed\u2019 over the owners\u2019 lack of ambition now that the January window has opened. No major incomings are expected at Old Trafford this month, and he is navigating a depleted squad amid AFCON and injury absences.<\/p>\n

Jacobs adds that the Red Devils boss was promised last year that his options would be reinforced mid-season, hence his fresh frustrations that nothing appears to be in the pipeline before the February 2 deadline.<\/p>\n

After United took just one point from today\u2019s Roses derby, Amorim issued some strong words in his post-match press conference at Elland Road, telling reporters: \u201cI am not going to quit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to do my job until another guy is coming here to replace me. I am going to be the manager of this team, not just the coach. That is going to finish in 18 months, and then everyone is going to move on. I came here to be the manager.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spoils being shared in Yorkshire meant that United once again squandered their opportunity to move fourth-placed in the table before Liverpool, Chelsea and Sunderland were in action at 3pm.<\/p>\n

Now 14 months into his Premier League tenure, Amorim has overseen 15 wins, 13 draws and a whopping 19 losses in the 47 games he\u2019s managed.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is said to be \u2018growing tension\u2019 between Ruben Amorim and Manchester United\u2019s Director of Football, Jason Wilcox.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[188515,4,450,464,188516,451,20048,12765,3450,3788,3,115695,7794,452,453,21206],"class_list":["post-387978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-ben-jacobs","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-chelsea","tag-director-of-football","tag-headlines","tag-leeds","tag-leeds-united","tag-liverpool","tag-manchester-united","tag-news","tag-red-devils","tag-ruben-amorim","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-united"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
