Ruben Amorim on the crisis at Manchester United: Players have spoken very loudly.

According to The Sun: Wayne Rooney is confident that Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim is on the 'brink of a cliff' following a shocking elimination from the League Cup by Grimsby.

Amorim is expected to meet with the club's management during the international break next week, as United suffered a 12-11 penalty shootout defeat to the fourth-tier team at Blundell Park.

This 'fall' of a team that was able to equalize after conceding two goals in the final 15 minutes led to a historic exit from a fourth-tier representative.

After the match, the Portuguese coach's comments that his team 'speaks loudly' made Rooney believe that the former club is 'broken.'

“The biggest problem is that the coach's words after the game were critical of the players. If your coach says such words, then something is wrong.”

Rooney also emphasized that even though there have only been three matches at the start of the season, the situation looks worrying.

After three games, United has not won any, and the pressure on the coach will increase if the team does not win against newly promoted Burnley on Saturday.

Rooney noted that it will be difficult for the club's management, as it is hard to find willing candidates for the vacant position.

“The problem is, who would want to take on such a role? It’s madness. You have one of the biggest clubs in the world, and people are probably sitting there thinking... not right now.”

He also added that Ruben Amorim, who finished his playing career only eight years ago, is facing difficulties in adapting to managing such a large club.

Rooney believes that the burden of mentorship at Manchester United is unique, and when the team does not win, it only adds to the stress.

“That is pressure he has never faced before.”

After the game, Amorim apologized to United fans, saying: “The players are talking about what they want. I deeply apologize to our fans. We will focus on the next game.”

He also added: “Something has to change, and it cannot be 22 new players. It’s a tough situation, but we move forward.”

Thus, the situation surrounding Manchester United remains complicated, with an uncertain future for coach Ruben Amorim. Success in the next match against Burnley could be a key moment for improving the team's atmosphere and trust in the coaching staff. Fans and experts are closely watching the developments, investigating whether the team can return to the path of success after a heavy defeat.
