Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has clarified comments he made suggesting he could leave Old Trafford this summer.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has denied rumors that he plans to quit, despite comments after Sunday's loss to West Ham that suggested frustration with the team's performance.

Amorim had stated that if United couldn't improve, they should consider replacing him, sparking speculation about his future.

However, the 40-year-old clarified his stance during a UEFA briefing at Old Trafford ahead of the Europa League final against Tottenham.

"I'm far from quitting," he said. "I have a clear idea of what to do and I understand the problems of the team."

Amorim emphasized his commitment to improving the team's standards, saying,

"Since I arrived here, I'm always talking about standards. I cannot see the team having these results, especially in the Premier League, and not say anything or take the responsibility."

He added, "What I'm saying is that we need to perform or else they [the club's hierarchy] will change us. That is normal."

Despite guiding United to a European final, the team has struggled in the Premier League, sitting 16th and heading for their worst finish since the 1973-74 season. United have had a dismal league campaign, with most of their wins coming against teams that got relegated.
