Rubén Amorim admits that the departure of Manchester United’s sporting director “is not the best situation”

“Of course it is a bad situation because we are talking about a human being, a professional, who supports us as a team.

“But I think the most important thing is that your vision is really clear and that vision doesn’t change if just one person leaves.”

After winning two of his first three games in charge, Amorim has suffered successive defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
