Amorim Vows to Stay as Man United Reel From Grimsby Cup Shock

His candid remarks followed a shock cup exit that deepened concern over United's winless start.

Overview

  • Rúben Amorim said he sometimes wants to quit and voiced frustration with his players, then stated he expects to remain Manchester United manager.
  • Pressed on his longer-term status, he declined to make guarantees beyond the international break but said he believes the role will not change.
  • Club sources briefed that the "sometimes I want to quit" line was tongue-in-cheek after emotions ran high following the cup defeat.
  • United lost to League Two Grimsby on penalties, are yet to win a Premier League match, and face Burnley before a break that precedes fixtures against City and Chelsea.
  • Amorim pointed to mindset issues, saying players dwell on the past, while pundit Troy Deeney urged him to consult Wayne Rooney to help guide striker Benjamin Sesko.
