Manchester United fans have been reacting on social media after watching Ruben Amorim's post-match interview.
On Wednesday night, United's dismal start to the 25/26 season continued as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the second round.
Up against League Two side Grimsby Town, Amorim's men fell to a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren.
In the second half, United produced a spirited comeback with Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scoring to make it 2-2, taking the tie to penalties.

Mbeumo missed a crucial spot kick as Grimsby came away 12-11 winners, sealing their place in the third round.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, a dejected Amorim said: "In the end, it doesn't matter if we recover or not, it's the signs the team gave during the game, the beginning of the game.
"I think the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. The best players lose because one team can win against any group of players, and I think the team and the players spoke really loud today, so that's it. We lost, the best team won."
He continued: "I think it's really clear what they spoke, so let's move on from this day and I think it was clear for everybody what happened today.

"The way we start the game without any intensity, all the idea of the pressure, we were completely lost and that's why I think they spoke really loud."
Reacting on social media, one fan said: "What does Amorim mean by “the players spoke really loud with their performance”. Has he lost the dressing room? Does he think they’re throwing him under?"

Another tweeted: "Listening to that interview, Amorim has gone….Heads gone..Players won’t listen to him is what I’m hearing in his comments. He wants out…."
A third fan added: "Amad has lost all his confidence!! I don't know how Amorim managed to destroy it all!!"
Someone else wrote: "Amorim has had enough, alludes to the players not playing for him."
A fifth commented: "I have a feeling Amorim might resign."
