On Saturday, it will be a blast at Old Trafford. Opponents Burnley have so far not had what it takes to make a “break”, but for Manchester United and Ruben Amorim, this is the match that can give a chain reaction of noise after perhaps the most horrible defeat in club history. Against League Two club Grimsby Town. Ruben Amorim led the Red Devils to a historically weak 15th place in the Premier League last season, now the Portuguese is using the Burnley game to show the supporters he understands the extent of the cup loss.
Ruben Amorim has apologized for the Grimsby loss this week, but makes another apology to disgruntled Manchester United fans in an incredibly short 95-word program note before the Burnley clash. The Portuguese uses this platform to ask for support to be united. But for many at Old Trafford, his words will ring hollow after another night of humiliation for a club that is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Anyway, here is Ruben Amorim’s “speech” to the Supoorts:
“Good afternoon and welcome back to Old Trafford. Today, as we welcome Scott Parker and his Burnley team, we have to give an answer after Wednesday’s cup match. I can only say to our supporters that I am sorry. The best team that night won the game, and what we showed, everyone has to do better. Today we have to show intensity from the start. We have to go out on the pitch and show how good we are at playing, because the only way we can fix this is by winning games.”
