Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will not change his approach at the club, but hopes he to get enough time for his system to become successful.
The Portuguese has come under pressure at the club, with the players finding it difficult to adapt to his 3-4-2-1 formation.
He has overseen only eight wins from 31 league matches since taking over last November, while his side have tallied the fewest points in the league since his arrival.
Last season, the team finished 15th in the league standings, which was their lowest-ever finish sinxe the 1979/80 season, when they were relegated into the lower division.
Amorim, met with club officials including co-owner Sir Jim Radcliffe earlier this week, but has revealed he will not be tempted to change his approach to games.
“No, no, no, No one. Not even the Pope will change..”, the former Sporting Lisbon manager revealed.
“This is my job. This is my responsibility. This is my life. So, I will not change that.”
The Red Devils have won only one of their first four league matches this season, with defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City.
They also suffered a shock elimination to League Two outfit Grimsby Town in the Carabao second round, leading to doubts over Amorim’s capacity to lead the club.
“If I’m a player and I have a coach that, with a lot of pressure and [people] all around the world, are saying ‘you need to change the system’, says ‘I’m going to change’, they will look at me in a different way.
“Everything is important when you think about the impact that a decision is going to have on the team”, he continued.
“I’m doing things my way. I hope to have the time to change but it will be an evolution.”
Manchester United host Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday evening, with Ruben Amorim’s men eyeing a win to ease the growing pressure on the team.
