Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has clarified his emotional comments made after the team's shocking defeat to Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup, where he suggested feelings of wanting to quit and dissatisfaction with his players. Following the loss, Amorim described his team as "completely lost" and acknowledged that significant changes were necessary. However, he now attributes those remarks to heightened emotions in the aftermath of the match.

In a press conference, Amorim reflected on his outbursts, stating, "Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years." He emphasized his need to express his feelings openly, saying that he understands the criticism his comments may invite but is unwilling to change his passionate approach. He expressed that he will continue to react emotionally, especially after disappointing performances.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his position, United's management has shown support for Amorim. He noted that he would soon speak with the club's hierarchy to discuss the team's direction. Although he cannot guarantee his future in charge, he affirmed his commitment to the club and acknowledged the need to improve their performance following a rocky start to the season.

Amorim's comments have sparked debate about his managerial style, particularly regarding how he handles media interactions. He maintains that his emotional responses are part of who he is and that he will not compromise his authenticity for the sake of maintaining a certain public image. As the team prepares to face Burnley in their next match, Amorim must navigate the challenges of both his squad's morale and his own future at Manchester United.
