Ruben Amorim admits he doesn’t know if he will remain as manager of Manchester United – but says he has no plans to quit.

The under-fire Red Devils boss hinted he was ready to chuck in the towel following Wednesday’s humiliating defeat against Grimsby Town Carabao Cup.

He will hold showdown talks with the hierarchy during the international break next week.

Significantly, former England manager Gareth Southgate is one of the favorites to join as the manager if he is removed finally.

Asked if he will be in charge after today’s crunch home clash with Burnley, Amorim said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen, that is my idea.

After the Burnley clash at Old Trafford, Amorim’s United face a Manchester derby with City at the Etihad on September 14 followed by Chelsea.

At his Carrington press conference yesterday, he conceded there were times he thought about quitting.

Amorim was  asked to explain  comments he made after his flops crashed out to  minnows Grimsby in midweek.

He stated  his players had ‘spoken loudly’ about what they wanted to happen.

Amorim, whose side are winless after three games in all competitions this season, said he will  hold more talks  with director of football Jason Wilcox over the disappointing start to the season.
