It’s been a challenging start to the season for the Red Devils, who have taken just one point from their opening two league games.

To make matters worse, they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the second round stage in midweek with a penalty shootout defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town.

Reports suggest Amorim will hold talks with the club’s hierarchy during the upcoming international break to discuss his future.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s game against Burnley, Amorim admitted his emotions sometimes get the better of him.

"Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years,” he said.

"Sometimes I love to be with my players. Sometimes I don't want to be with my players. I need to improve on that. It is going to be hard."

After United’s cup humbling at Blundell Park, said the performance of his players "spoke really loud".

Explaining those comments, Amorim added: "I know that when I speak these things, to be really honest, every time that we have a defeat like that, I will be like that.

"I am trying to accept that and I am going to be who I am, that's why I have the passion I have. In that moment I was disappointed. We had a good pre-season and were playing better.

"That kind of performance, I was really disappointed with everything. But now it is a new game."
