Manchester United news: Head coach Ruben Amorim has admitted the emotional strain of his role after United’s poor start to the season, with speculation growing about his future ahead of the Premier League clash with Burnley.

Manchester United’s Worst Start Under Amorim

Manchester United remain without a win in their opening three matches of the season and suffered a shock Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town, piling pressure on Amorim in his first full campaign as Man Utd manager.

After the defeat, Amorim gave a brutally honest assessment, saying his players “spoke really loud” and warning “something has to change.” Those comments fueled speculation about a possible resignation.

On Friday, he clarified his remarks but admitted that emotions often get the better of him:

“Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to stay here 20 years. Sometimes I love my players, sometimes I don’t. I’m not going to change who I am. That passion is why I’m here.”

Amorim Future Talks With Man Utd Board?

Reports suggested Amorim could meet with Manchester United’s hierarchy during the September international break to review his future. However, the 39-year-old dismissed talk of crisis, insisting his attention is solely on Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Burnley at Old Trafford.

“I always speak with the board,” he said. “Right now, my focus is Burnley. I take things day by day, that won’t change.”

Kobbie Mainoo Transfer Update

Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has told the club he is seeking a loan move for regular minutes, but Amorim made it clear the teenager remains vital to his plans.

“I want Kobbie to stay. He has to fight for his place here. Everyone gets chances at Manchester United, but competition is part of playing for this club.”

Rasmus Højlund Linked With Napoli Loan

Striker Rasmus Højlund is also the subject of transfer rumours, with Napoli reportedly in talks over an initial loan deal. Amorim refused to go into details but admitted discussions are ongoing.

“Until it’s official, I can’t say much,” he commented.

Manchester United vs Burnley: A Must-Win Match

With tension mounting and United desperate to record their first win of the season, Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Burnley feels pivotal. A victory could ease the scrutiny around Amorim, but another setback would intensify doubts over his long-term future as Manchester United head coach.
