Ruben Amorim tipped to quit Man Utd by body language expert as key detail spotted

A body language expert has claimed that Ruben Amorim's struggles at Manchester United will "get to a point where he will walk" after they were humiliatingly knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby.

United needed late goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire to force the tie to penalties, which they lost after misses from Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. Amorim was left fuming after the game and laid into his players, telling Sky Sports : "We were completely lost.

"They spoke really loud. I think that [the same issues] is a problem. When you lose and see something new, it is different. We have to say sorry to the fans. The support that they gave us with all of the defeats, I just have to say I'm really sorry.

"I think they [the players] gave the response on the pitch today so I don't have to talk about that. We have a game at the weekend and then we have two weeks and we will sort things out."

And Darren Stanton, who is also known as the human lie detector, analysed Amorim's body language in his post-match interviews and says the result left him "in a state of shock". Stanton told OLBG : "His comments about his own players speaking loudly for him was very interesting.

"He almost seems in a state of shock. He is a deeply disappointed man and I dont think he fully understands what was going on in that match. We see evidence of pure frustration plus anger and disappointment.

"He spent most of his post-match interviews with his head dipped down. That's also a sign of shame. We see the anger in how his eyes come together, pulled down and the furrow lines in his forehead.

"When he says the team has been getting better and improving I feel that he's suggesting his players have thrown it against Grimsby. You feel he's not far off claiming his plans are being sabotaged, like his team is throwing him under a bus, even though it means they're losing these games."

Stanton believes Amorim will "do his darndest to try and resolve the situation", but warns that he is "not going to allow himself to continually be thrown under the bus".

He added: "I think he's going to try and address whatever issues are going on in the locker room with the team but it could come to a point where he looks at it and goes, you know what, this just isn't working for me.

"I've tried my best. You're not prepared to play ball. You're not prepared to play my way and work with me and my ideas. He has nowhere else to go otherwise but I think, from what we've seen of Ruben so far, that he is going to do his darndest to try and resolve the situation and get to the bottom of what's going on at United, both with the individual players and the collective.

"But I also don't think he's a man that's gonna suck it up forever. He's just got his professional integrity as well. All football managers have egos. I don't think he's going to roll over and allow himself and his career to be tarnished, and he wants to work at the highest levels after this job too.

"If he walks it won't look good on him so he'll try and turn it around to the best of his ability but he's not going to allow himself to continually be thrown under the bus. It will get to a point where he will walk, I believe."
