If Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim sounded on the brink of resignation after their shock League Cup loss to fourth-tier Grimsby Town on Wednesday, he clarified his comments on Friday saying emotions got the better of him.
“Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years,” Amorim told reporters ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash against Burnley. “Sometimes I love to be with my players, sometimes I don’t want to be with them.””I think this is a little bit the limit. I think something has to change,” he said after the game. “I think the team and the players spoke really loud today.”
Asked if he wanted to quit, Amorim said: “I felt that after the game. I don’t feel that now. So it’s a little bit like that.
“Sometimes it’s not the result, it’s the way we lost that game. That is the thing that is hard to accept. Because we can do better,” he added. “In this moment, we cover positions, fight for the ball, running, all these small things, sometimes we drop a little bit the level. The good thing is that we now have the next game to put that level up.”
