Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has expressed his confidence in remaining at the helm of the club despite recent comments that sparked speculation about his future. Amorim's remarks came after his team's disappointing defeat to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, where he acknowledged that "something has to change."

In his first press conference since the loss, Amorim revealed that his emotions can get the better of him, admitting that he "sometimes wants to quit - and sometimes wants to stay at Man Utd for the next 20 years." When questioned about his future at the club, Amorim stated, "I don't know what is going to happen, that is my idea. I am not going to promise you nothing. I am the manager of Manchester United and I think that is not going to change."

Despite a rocky start to the season, with United currently 16th in the Premier League and already out of the Carabao Cup, Amorim remains confident that he is the right person to lead the team back to success. "Yes, it depends on the day! I am confident as I saw them play really well in tough matches and I see it in training, training is so much better. I was shocked [at Grimsby]," he said.

Amorim also hinted at the possibility of changing his team's formation, deviating from his preferred 3-4-3 setup. "If I feel the best to change, I played all my life in 4-4-2, 4-3-3 - I never played one minute in 3-4-3 - my idea is we play one system, then adapt. I'm just trying to coach my players with the idea I have - this is the fun part."

The United head coach emphasized that the issues his team is facing are not solely related to the formation, highlighting other problems that need to be addressed. "We need to focus on a lot of things. The players are always thinking in the past, it is in our minds. We need to focus on the next game. We dropped a level and we need to respond."

United's next match against Burnley on Saturday will be a crucial test for Amorim and his team, as they seek to secure their first win of the Premier League campaign.
