"Sometimes I hate my players" "Sometimes I want to quit" - doesn't strike me as a coach with a plan and an end goal he's working well towards.

What on earth is this Amorim presser?? Embarrassing. But hilarious at the same time. I want him to stay just for the comedic value.

Manchester United v Burnley (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on whether he felt like he wanted to quit after the Grimsby game: "I felt that after the game. I don't feel that now. So it's a little bit like that. I think that is the hardest part of the defeat.
"Sometimes it's not the result, it's the way we lost that game or draw that game. That is the thing that is hard to accept. Because we can do better. In this moment, we cover positions, fight for the ball, running, all these small things, sometimes we drop a little bit the level. The good thing is that we now have the next game to put that level up."

More from Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on how he speaks to the media: "So I'm trying to accept that and I'm going to be who I am. That's why I have the passion that I have. In that moment I was really upset and really disappointed because I felt that we had a very good pre-season, we were playing better, we were being consistent in the way we played.
"We played badly 30 minutes against Fulham. And then that kind of performance [v Grimsby], I was really disappointed with everything. But now it's a new game and I'm focused on the next one."

Wolves v Everton (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Wolves boss Vitor Pereira spoke to the media about Jorgen Strand Larsen's future amidst Newcastle United links:
"It is important that we know every person has ambition in life, but at this moment, Jorgen is our player, is working hard because he has a good personality and is a team player. He is dealing with a small injury problem, and I hope we can play tomorrow with him. He is our player and an important player for us, and everything we cannot control, we cannot lose our energy. At this moment, it is important to think about the game."
Pereira confirmed there are no new injury concerns but revealed doubts over Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is managing a minor knock.

Manchester United v Burnley (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim: "Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years. Some times I love to be with my players, sometimes I don't want to be with them. So, again, I need to improve on that. It's going to be hard. But now I'm good with the next one."

Manchester United v Burnley (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on his comments about his players after the Grimsby: "I know that when I speak these things. Guys, to be really honest with you guys, every time that we have or have in the future one defeat like that, I'm going to be like that. I'm going to say that sometimes I hate my players, sometimes I love my players, sometimes I want to defend my players. This is my way of doing things and I'm going to be like that. And I felt that in that moment I was so frustrated and annoyed. And I know, again, that you have a lot of experienced people talking about the way I should perform with the media, to be more constant, to be more calm. I'm not going to be like that."

Manchester United v Burnley (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on futures of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo: "Until it's official, I cannot say much. I want Kobbie to stay. 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."

Blues must 'find different solutions' without Palmerpublished at 13:19 British Summer Time
Chelsea v Fulham (Sat, 12:30 BST)
More from Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on the injuries to Palmer, Lavia and Badiashille:
"Cole we need to see day by day. Romeo and Benoit - I don't think they will be back after the international break but they will be closer."
"Two years ago, he [Lavia] didn't play any games. Last year, he played some games. The target is to give him more games this season. I don't know [when he will be back]."
On Palmer being left out of Thomas Tuchel's England squad today: "I spoke with Thomas a few times. It's Thomas' decision. He's not available tomorrow so it is quite normal that he has shown he has some problems."
On coping without Palmer: "When Cole is not in the game, we need to find different solutions. Hopefully tomorrow we can do the same."

BBC Sport Manchester United reporterI suspect Ruben Amorim is looking forward to this lunchtime's press briefing like he looks forward to a visit to the dentist.
Usually so articulate, Amorim needs to explain what he meant when he said his players made it perfectly clear what they thought with their performance at Grimsby on Monday.
He also said once tomorrow's game against Burnley is out of the way, United need to discuss a way forward.
Beyond that, there is Alejandro Garnacho's pending move to Chelsea, Rasmus Hojlund's close to completion move to Napoli and Kobbie Mainoo being blocked from a loan exit.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on the incoming Alejandro Garnacho: "I know he is around here.
"It's quite clear his position is a winger and I see him as a winger."
On potential other incomings: "You can expect anything with the transfer window open - anything can happen in and out.
"I joined the club one year ago saying I was in love with the squad and it has got better. The feeling is the same."

'We need to focus on the weekend and then we have time to think'published at 12:59 British Summer Time
Man Utd v Burnley (Sat, 15:00 BST)
Image source, ReutersThe spotlight was firmly fixed on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim following Wednesday's penalty shootout defeat at Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
League Two Grimsby beat United 12-11 on penalties following a shootout during which Amorim remained rooted to his seat in the dugout at Blundell Park.
His unusual behaviour and subsequent cryptic response to the defeat raised renewed questions about his leadership and tenure at Old Trafford.
"I think this is a little bit the limit - I think something has to change," Amorim said after the defeat.
"I think the team and the players spoke really loud today, so that's it."
And he added: "The way we start the game without any intensity, we were completely lost.
"In this moment, we need to focus on the weekend and then we have time to think."
