RUBEN AMORIM claimed he would walk away from Manchester United with no pay-off if the board and fans decide it is time for him to go.
But the Portuguese has no intention of quitting despite losing the Europa League final and plummeting to 16th in the Premier League.
While he admits Red Devils fans need to take a leap of faith with him to believe things can be better next season.
Amorim, 40, said: “In this moment I am not going to be here defending myself. It’s not my style, I cannot do it. It is really hard for me.
“So I have nothing to show to the fans and say ‘I’m going to improve because of this, I have these problems…’ I will not do nothing.
“In this moment it is a little bit of faith. Let’s see.
“I’m always open, if the board and the fans feel that I am not the right guy, I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation.
“But I will not quit. I am really confident in my job. As you can see, I will not change nothing in how I do things.”
United were seven points off a Champions League spot when Amorim took over in November but now are a remarkable 27 points off fifth spot.
They also blew the chance to qualify for Europe’s elite club competition via the Europa League after failing to score yet again in a 1-0 defeat to Spurs in Bilbao.
It meant United missed out on a £100million windfall.
But Amorim said United had a transfer plan anyway if they missed out on the Champions League and claimed the club must use the free midweeks next season to improve domestically.
He added: “We have two plans for the market.
“We need to understand that it is tough for a club like ours not to be the in the Champions League.
“But we have to use the other side.
“If we have more time to think and to work during the week and to be better in the Premier League, that will be our focus.”
