RUBEN AMORIM admits he doesn't know if he will remain as manager of Manchester United.
The under-fire Red Devils boss hinted he was ready to chuck in the towel following Wednesday’s humiliating Carabao Cup loss at League Two Grimsby.
But Amorim claimed his emotions got the better of him after one of the worst results in the club’s history.
He will hold showdown talks with the hierarchy during the international break next week.
Former England manager Gareth Southgate is one of the favourites to replace Amorim if he gets the sack.
Asked if he will be in charge after today’s crunch home clash with Burnley, Amorim said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen, that is my idea.
“I am not going to promise you anything about what is going to be the future.
“I’m the manager of Manchester United and I think that is not going to change.”
After the Burnley clash at Old Trafford, Amorim’s United face a Manchester derby with City at the Etihad on September 14 followed by Chelsea.
At his Carrington press conference yesterday, he conceded there were times he thought about quitting.

Amorim was asked to explain comments he made after his flops crashed out to minnows Grimsby in midweek.
He stated his players had ‘spoken loudly’ about what they wanted to happen.
The Portuguese manager - who was blasted for his use of a tactics board during Man Utd's defeat to Grimsby - added: “Sometimes I hate my players, sometimes I love my players, sometimes I want to defend my players.
“Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years.”
But the former Sporting Lisbon boss vowed he will not change his style.
He said: “To be honest with you, every time we have one defeat like that I’m going to be like that, prepare yourselves."
Amorim, whose side are winless after three games in all competitions this season, said he will hold more talks with director of football Jason Wilcox over the disappointing start to the season.
He added: “I have all these conversations with him.”
And asked who talks him out of it when he considers quitting, he said: “Myself. I just need ten minutes with myself alone. I don’t need anyone.
“When you say I want to quit, it’s that, ‘f***, I want to quit, I don’t love my players, I sometimes hate my kids’. I’m going to be like that, it’s not going to change. I’m going to suffer.
“We just need to win some games and then things will be easier to do.”
Man Utd have agreed a fee of £40m with Chelsea for the sale of Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, while Rasmus Hojlund is reportedly close to sealing his own exit.
But United have rejected a request from 20-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo to leave the club on loan after he was an unused substitute in their first two Premier League games.
"I want Kobbie to stay," Amorim said.
"He needs to fight for his place, and we need Kobbie. So that is not going to change. The rest I don't know how it's going to finish.
"I understand that the players that are not playing in this moment are disappointed. But everyone will have the same opportunity to play. You have to fight during the week."

united has world-class players this business of couches coming in and chopping of good players has to stop. look at all the players in the Boom squad they offer a strong bench and have proper EPL xperience. Ten Hag did it fighting players it got him the sack. so will this guy follow suit. couches need to understand players and mould them into what they want, not just discarding them more losses for united

Deeeinryz; am with you on all you said, am a hardcore united fan and everything my club is going through breaks my heart but I understand. It’s time we stop living in the past and face the reality, before Amorim has been other world class coaches. All we fucking needs to do is to let this guy mould his team, it will take time that’s for sure, Liverpool today is a beast, you won’t say the same about them 7-10 years ago in the league so let’s a be calm. Moreover it’s just 3 match from many more to play, united fan are really making me sick and if anyone wants a new challenge they should fucking leave!!!
I agree with you because if Amorim came with his sporting squad we wouldn't be like this sell all PTSD affected players start a fresh 💯

Just leave Amorim for me you haven't done anything wrong it's Manchester united that did you wrong selling players and not buying is the board's fault, creating chances but not scoring are players fault, goal keepers mistakes are not your own, bad subs means incompetent squad depth, bomb squad it's due to their arrogance and all these are blamed on you because you want them to fight to succeed but they see you as an enemy because you don't let them enjoy their huge salaries and play the way they want. Just go no matter which coach comes it will still be like this to revive man UTD change the board, sell players and kick out all fans and start a fresh what a pathetic club 🤧

You must be sucking his d**k for defending him so hard like this. How many players have they sold if not loan and the ones that run their contracts out and were not renew. You want the board to sign complete eleven players for him buh he can't win us a trophy against the worst Spurs team that never won any thing for decades now. Don't you know there's FFP and where we finish last season was very bad.

Yes he says he wants to get back to a winning team but when in his time at Man United were we ever a winning team. To get back to a winning team he must change his format beliefs but he isn't willing to change. If his system continues to let him and the team down and the Fans of course then we will be at deadlock with his beliefs so I see no alternative so he must go. I dont see any other alternative and I hate the amount of managers we have had and i am confused that he doesn't see where the problem lies.

You people try to understand this, Manchester United is not a small team, the board for it is controlled by many people with different opinions and different thoughts, we will just keep on blaming coaches for nothing, errors starts from the board, Do you remember once that sir Alex fergason was not allowed to enter the dressing room for the same man united, we have been zero champions for so, it is not just us, other teams stayed for years and years without trophies but they just keep on pushing.
