Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admits his job hangs in the balance after a disastrous start to the season, with Gareth Southgate eyed as potential replacement.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has openly acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his position at the club following one of the most turbulent starts to a season in the team's history.
The Portuguese tactician faced intense scrutiny after Wednesday's shocking 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town, a result described by fans as "humiliating." Amorim admitted his post-match comments about potentially quitting were driven by raw emotion, stating: "Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years."
With United winless in their first three competitive matches this season, Amorim revealed he'll hold critical discussions with football director Jason Wilcox during the upcoming international break. When pressed about whether he'd remain in charge for next week's Manchester derby against City, the 38-year-old responded: "I don't know what's going to happen."
"I'm the manager of Manchester United and I think that is not going to change. But I won't promise anything about the future."
Bookmakers have slashed odds on Amorim's departure, with former England manager Gareth Southgate now the favorite to replace him. The situation has been compounded by fan protests demanding Amorim's dismissal, particularly after his controversial use of a tactics board during the Grimsby defeat.
Amid the managerial uncertainty, United face player unrest:
Amorim remained defiant about his methods, warning critics: "Every time we have a defeat like that, I'm going to be like this - prepare yourselves." However, with crucial matches against Burnley, Manchester City, and Chelsea looming, the pressure continues to intensify at Old Trafford.
