Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim insists he will not quit after a disastrous season ended with Europa League defeat to Tottenham but will walk away without compensation if the club no longer want him.

The 1-0 defeat in Bilbao ended any hopes of saving a campaign which sees United 16th in the table in what has been their worst Premier League season on a number of fronts.

He insists he is more confident than ever he is the right man for the job, but accepts the club hierarchy may have a different opinion after appointing him as successor to Erik ten Hag in November.

“Yes, I am confident I am still the guy, more than the beginning,” he told TNT Sports.

“I know the patience of the fans is going to be really short in the next season but I guarantee you I will not quit. I will not go away, I am really confident.

“I’m not worried about that. If they (the club) say ‘Ruben, it is better to change’ I will leave the next day with no compensation.

“I rely so much on my confidence I am not worried about that. The biggest pain is to lose the game and lose this final, not to give something to the fans and my players.

“I am really confident with myself and I will continue to do my job if the board wants me.”
