Amorim to Benfica? Manager on Man United: I want to give up | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim poured some cold water on things after the words he left following Man United’s defeat to Grimsby. After the setback against the fourth division English team, the Portuguese coach hinted that he would resign, even being linked to Benfica, but his latest statements seem to point in another direction.

"I felt that after the game [with Grimsby]. Now I don’t feel it anymore. I think that’s the hardest part of losing. Sometimes I want to quit, other times I want to stay here for 20 years. Sometimes I love being with my players, other times I don’t want to be with them," Amorim began by explaining in a press conference previewing Man United’s match against Burnley.

The Portuguese coach, a former Benfica player, then explained that he doesn’t intend to change his behavior: "I know that when I say these kinds of things, on a personal level, it’s to be honest. Every time we have a defeat like that in the future, I’ll react this way."

"I’ll say that sometimes I hate my players, but sometimes I also love my players and want to defend them. That’s my way of doing things. I felt all of that in that moment, when I was very frustrated and angry," added Ruben Amorim, revealing to the fans the reason behind his words after the humiliating defeat to Grimsby.

Amorim finished in the same tone: "I’m trying to accept things and I can guarantee that I will be who I am. That’s why I have this passion. At that moment, I was very upset and very disappointed. I felt we had a very good pre-season and were playing much better, and then... The good thing is that now we have the next game to raise that level."
