Manchester United were beaten to a penalty by Grimsbytown in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night in the latest setback for Reuben Amorim
Reuben Amorim admits he wants to “stop” Manchester United and admits that he “hate my players” when the oppressive boss is open to his emotional character.
However, the United boss vowed to remain unchanged following his passionate post-game comments following United’s EFL Cup humiliation at Grimsby.
Amorim said his players “talked about what they wanted” shortly after United’s penalty shootout defeat against two league opponents.
The United boss hinted that his players hadn’t bought his ideas, but today Amorim returned to those statements and said that his heart would continue to control his head.
“Guys, if you’re really honest with you, every time we’re defeated that way or every time we have that kind of thing in the future, I’ll be like that,” Amorim said.

“I sometimes say I hate my players, sometimes I say I love my players, sometimes I want to protect my players. I don’t think I can.
“This is how I do it, and I do that, and at that moment I felt very annoyed and annoyed.
“And again, you know there are a lot of experienced people talking about how I should play in the media.
“So I’m trying to accept it and I’m going to be myself. So I have the passion I have. At that moment I was really upset and really disappointed.
“With such a performance I was really disappointed with everything. But now it’s a new game and focuses on the next game. I’m just focusing on this game and I need to live today. I understand that.
“If you’re one-sided, if you have this kind of behavior, you need to understand that you have something good for that type of behavior, that you have the other side of the coin.
“So I understand that. And once more, sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years, sometimes I want to be with the players, sometimes I don’t want to be with them. So once more, I need to improve it.
Amorim claimed he wanted Cobby Mine to stay after United and the British midfielders asked him to leave loan due to lack of playing time.
“I want you to stay at Cobbie,” Amorim said. “He needs to fight for his place and we need Kobe, so that won’t change.
“I don’t know how the rest of the game (Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho, Tyrrell Malacia) will end, and I understand that players who are not playing at this time are disappointed.
“But everyone will have the same opportunity. You have to fight that week.”
