Matthijs de Ligt reveals Man United dressing room’s stance on under-fire boss Ruben Amorim ahead of crunch talks.

Support for Manchester United’s Manager

According to The Sun: Manchester United star Matthijs de Ligt assures that the players fully support their manager Ruben Amorim, who is facing the threat of dismissal.

A shocking penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby in the Carabao Cup has once again put Amorim's future in question after a poor start to the new season.

An emotional Amorim described the situation as a 'turning point' and stated that he intends to discuss his future with the management during the two-week international break following the match against Burnley.

However, after the team's 3-2 victory over the Clarets, De Ligt emphasized that the players are responsible for the first-ever defeat to fourth-tier opponents.

“Yes, of course. As players, you are responsible for the results.

“It’s always about the manager, but we also looked each other in the eye after Grimsby and said: ‘Guys, this performance is unacceptable’.”

“So we still stand behind him, and he supports us, so we keep going in the same spirit. I think today’s result only highlighted that feeling even more.”

“It would be very wrong to say that this is the manager's fault. It is mainly us, and we know it.”

The dramatic victory over the Clarets was the first for Amorim of the season after four matches.

The former Sporting coach claimed that 'something needs to change' after the disappointment in the Cup, which occurred at Blundell Park.

Scott Parker's team took the lead twice in the match but allowed Burnley to equalize on both occasions. Before the end of the game, VAR detected a foul by Jaidon Anthony on Amad Diallo.

Captain Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 97th minute, just six days after missing a similar kick against Fulham.

“I couldn’t do it as one who takes penalties. I’m very happy that Bruno took the responsibility and scored. It was very important for us.”

“The only thing that was important today was the win. Everyone saw how it was done. We know we could have done it better, but winning was the most crucial thing.”
