Amorim's 'heavy burden'
- Published
I assume Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has a lot on his plate trying to get a winning team on the pitch just now.
But the weight of responsibility as the face of his football club means Amorim has to answer questions about any subject even loosely affecting Old Trafford.
Clearly, today, that includes up to 200 staff members losing their jobs, some of whom he will have daily interaction with.
Amorim can empathise. But he also understands his squad is ring-fenced from the cuts.
As he rightly pointed out, they are the engine of the club. Even reducing the standard of hotels United stay in is off limits because it could have a negative effect on performance.
That is a heavy burden.
