RUBEN AMORIM claimed he would walk away from Manchester United with no pay-off if the board and fans decide his time is up.
But the Portuguese has no intention of quitting despite losing the Europa League final and plummeting to 16th in the Prem.
Amorim, 40, pleaded with Red Devils fans following the 1-0 defeat final by Spurs in Bilbao, saying they need to take a leap of faith with him to believe things can be better next season.
He 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 TWENTY SEVEN 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 the Basque Country.

It meant United missed out on a £100million windfall.
But Amorim said the Red Devils 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.
AMAD DIALLO'S fizzing first-half display was little consolation for Manchester United in a dismal 1-0 Europa League final loss to Tottenham.
Rasmus Hojlund's plight up front continued in one of the worst European showpieces for many years - as both sides showed why they will finish in the Premier League lower reaches.
Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity - on 42 minutes.
Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr's inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.
The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.
But United's chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.
The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.

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.”
