The club talks to another club, is talking to another club, and then you take the next step with the coach. "And whether I want to go or not, I'll say later. That's the decision we're talking about here. I won't say." Asked by Sky Sports News' Gary Cotterill if the decision now lies with him, Amorim said: "Yes, [the only thing left] is my decision. I will tell everything. We have to wait." Amorim was unable to give a definitive timeline over how long that would take.

Amorim did admit that if he was to leave, his players would be disappointed with him leaving halfway through a season. He said: "Without a doubt, without a doubt. But I don't interfere in the players' lives. Now I talk to the players, because I'm Sporting coach. I want to do well for the group. "I talked to the board about how we are going to manage the squad. But without a doubt my players will be, if I leave, they will be disappointed in me and sad with me. But it's part of life. "That happened with me already in Braga. When I came from Braga, from Braga's stability to here, that happened a little. "And they were a little disappointed, because they really believed that we were building something special. But then things happen that change people's lives. And so, it's a difficult situation. "I can't give you more than that. I understand that the players are even disappointed, sad. But I have to live with it. And the important thing is that we reach the end and know how to explain everything. "Whether people understand it or not, the important thing is to come forward and explain it. And that's what I'm going to do." 'Things got heated in press conference' Sky Sports News' Gary Cotterill in Lisbon: "A big part of the being the Manchester United manager is being used to the spotlight in good times and bad times - and he is clearly good at that, speaking perfect English. He took 15 questions in Portuguese, some of it got heated, but he gave those journalists the same answers he gave me which is we'll all have to wait before things become clear. He said it's his decision as the clubs have agreed a deal if he wants to go. "When I asked him whether or not he'd be in the dugout on Sunday at Old Trafford he said 'I'll be here' and I said 'are you sure' and he smiled, replying 'I don't know.' "So he was showing a little bit of humour there, giving quite a lot away. Manchester UnitedChelsea Manchester United
