"You are always fighting. That can be exhausting..." - Manchester United head coach discusses pressure at club

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has discussed the pressure he and his team members face at the club. The Portuguese tactician took over the hot seat at Old Trafford in the middle of the season but has struggled to turn their fortunes around.

Speaking with Sky Sports before his side's clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, the Portuguese tactician acknowledged how difficult things are at the club. He said:

"It's ups and downs. It's a fight every day, with everything - with a lot of media! - then you have to cope with a lot of games. Then when you are in this club - in any club - but in this club, if you cannot push for a lot of wins in a row, you are always fighting. That can be exhausting not just for me, for everybody in the club, and for the players."

"We need to keep fighting and focus just on the small things, and for me the small thing is the next game."

Manchester United are currently 14th in the Premier League table while Spurs are 15th. Both teams will be hoping to turn their fortunes around soon, starting with a win on Sunday.
