At that time giggling Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes Born by saying, “He is!”

Amorim replied: “He wants my job! He will be a whole, very good coach. But he has to work on his way of thinking, dealing with people!”

And although they may not have a future career such as the Portuguese Morecambe and Wise, it was clear that the manager and captain of United are in a much more relaxed mood than them Europa League Last opponents.

In reality it is only because of the conciseness of Amorim Old Trafford Reign – only six months – that he is not under similar pressure.

The Premier League form of United has been just as bad as that of Tottenham and this showpiece competition has become something of a freak show -or a Clown show if you want to paraphrase some opponents of Postecoglou.

But the mood music from the United Camp was one of relaxed trust – despite the fact that they have only taken two points of their last eight league games.

Amorim was determined that United did not need the extra income flows that come from the Champions League Qualification, which victory would bring the San Mames in Estadio.

Fernandes insisted that, regardless of the result against Spurs, “every player wants to play for Manchester United. The name of this club speaks for himself”.

These were Ballsy stuff from a skipper who had led the worst united team in half a century. A team already beat three times this season because of the worst Spurs team in half a century.

It felt like an intentional squeak, the way in which Real Madrid players speak so often for major European competitions – evoke the weight of their club’s history.

And it all sounded pretty impressive – as long as you defeated the fact that United has not defeated Premier League club outside the bottom three since January.

Amorim was asked whether defeat – and the absence of European football – would mean more staff fired because Ineos Chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe Swingleing started to make cutbacks to the club’s budget.

But the United Manager said: “It’s not the case. We do things we have to do. I came from a club [Sporting Lisbon] Where to survive and maintain players, you must be in the Champions League. This is not the case here. “

And when he answered that question about less pressure than Big Ange, Amorim said that United’s hierarchy was insight into the deeper problems he had to deal with.

Including the fact that a series of its predecessors has led the best part of a billion pound on under -performing players.

Amorim said: “You have coaches who lose a number of games and are fired, but I think people see what I am doing. The board understands that we have many problems, the context is difficult.

“I will try to prove myself to the fans, to the board, but I have no explanation for you. I know what I do.

“I explained everything in the beginning – the storm, all the problems – on the board. I was so clear, I said I wouldn’t change my idea.

“I think the board can understand that, the fans can understand that. But we will achieve a moment when we have to win, whatever happens.”

This is such a death-or-glory match for both team losses and their season will have been a disaster, victory and they are in the Champions League.

So there was an element of Amorim and Fernandes who tried to talk.

Amorim admitted that winning a trophy would not solve all the other problems that the club is confronted with – “We have bigger things to deal with the club again. But winning this competition is still huge”.

Fernandes’ claim that “every player wants to play for United” does not sound as true as it once before. How long can a club consistently be bad and still be considered a desirable place to play?

How long can a club be outside the Champions League and still be considered “solid”? If United loses a fourth consecutive game against Spurs, we may be a step closer to discovering.

But Fernandes knows that the profile of the club has not been reduced, despite 12 years without a Premier League title.

He said: “Every game where you have the chance to win a trophy is very big, but every game in this club is huge. One week you can be a hero, the next the villain.

“This game will not change the past. But it can influence the future.

“It would give us many things – a place in the Champions League, a lot of income for the club, get more players who want to come to the club.

“But every player wants to play for United. The name of this club speaks for itself. We want to be at the top of everything, not just Europa League.

“This is a big chance. Our goal at the start of the season was to be in Bilbao and we will do everything we can to win it.”
