Manchester United’s hopes of European glory were dashed at the final hurdle as they suffered a narrow defeat to Spurs in a tense final clash.

“If the board believes I am not the right person, I will leave without compensation. But I will not walk away based on one result.”
Amorim made it clear that he remains committed to the project at Old Trafford and is prepared to fight for long-term success — provided he retains the backing of club leadership.
