Ruben Amorim insisted he was living \u201cday by day\u201d as Manchester United<\/a> manager as pressure ramps up on his position following the team’s embarrassing mid-week exit in the English League Cup at the hands of fourth-tier Grimsby Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amorim criticised his players immediately after Wednesday’s game, saying their performance \u201cspoke for me really loud\u201d before suggesting he\u2019d discuss his future during the two-week international break that comes after Sunday’s AEST Premier League home match against Burnley.<\/p>\n

Two days later, Amorim said he was \u201cso frustrated, annoyed\u201d at the time and warned that he would continue to make emotionally fuelled outbursts after any bad performance by United.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to say sometimes I hate my players, sometimes I love my players, sometimes I want to defend my players,\u201d Amorim said Friday in a news conference he conducted largely with a smile. \u201cThis is my way of doing things and I\u2019m going to be like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amorim acknowledged that he would bring more scrutiny on his position each time he speaks as openly as he did after the Grimsby game, where United fell 2-0 down after 30 minutes, scored two late goals to scramble a 2-2 draw in regulation, then lost a penalty shootout 12-11.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years, sometimes I love to be with my players, sometimes I don’t want to be with them,\u201d he said. \u201cI need to improve on that. It’s going to be hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amorim has been outspoken through his turbulent 10-month tenure, notably in January when he said of his team: “We are being the worst, maybe, in the history of Manchester United.\u201d<\/p>\n

United went on to finish in 15th place in Premier League last season for its worst top-flight campaign in 51 years.<\/p>\n

Under Amorim, United \u2014 which has a record-tying 20 English league titles \u2014 has collected 28 points from his 29 Premier League games in charge, including just one point from two matches this season: a 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal and 1-1 draw at Fulham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim insisted he was living \u201cday by day\u201d as Manchester United manager as pressure ramps up on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-107365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
