An emotional Ruben Amorim speaks to Sky Sports after Manchester United’s shock cup exit

“In the end, it doesn’t matter if you recover or not. I know that the best team won. The only team that was on the pitch. The best players lost. Any team can win against group of players. I think that the team and the players spoke really loud today. That’s it. We lost, the best team won.

“I think it is really clear what [the players] spoke. Let’s move on from this day. I think it was really clear today what happened.

“It’s not just the space, but the way we started the game without any intensity. All of the ideas about the pressure, we were completely lost. It is hard to explain. I think that is a problem – when you lose but see something new, it is different. When you see something like today, it’s hard to talk about that. I just want to say I am really sorry for the fans. Today, I have nothing to say. I am sorry.

“I think the players gave the response on the pitch today. I don’t need to talk about that. We have a game on the weekend and then we have two weeks, and we will sort things out.

“When you play against a fourth division team, it is not the goalkeeper. It is everything. It is. the environment, it is the way you face the competition. Everyone is going to pay attention to everything., every detail. We showed that performance today, so my players spoke really loud.”
