Ruben Amorim has been discussing his future as Manchester United head coach in Friday's press conference ahead of the home match against Burnley on Saturday.
Amorim's side are winless in their opening two matches of the Premier League season, and bowed out of the EFL Cup at the hands of League Two Grimsby Town on Wednesday night.
"To be really honest with you guys, every time that we have or have in the future one defeat like that [Grimsby], I'm going to be like that," said Amorim.
"I'm going to say that sometimes I hate my players, sometimes I love my players, sometimes I want to defend my players.
"This is my way of doing things and I'm going to be like that. And I felt that in that moment I was so frustrated and annoyed. And I know, again, that you have a lot of experienced people talking about the way I should perform with the media, to be more constant, to be more calm. I'm not going to be like that.
"Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years. Sometimes I love to be with my players, sometimes I don't want to be with them. So, again, I need to improve on that. It's going to be hard. But now I'm good with the next one."
Amorim said that he felt like quitting in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday night's shock EFL Cup exit, but insisted that he is now focused on Man Utd's next match against Burnley on Saturday.
"I felt that after the game. I don't feel that now," said Amorim. "So it's a little bit like that. I think that is the hardest part of the defeat.
"Sometimes it's not the result, it's the way we lost that game or draw that game. That is the thing that is hard to accept. Because we can do better. In this moment, we cover positions, fight for the ball, running, all these small things, sometimes we drop a little bit the level. The good thing is that we now have the next game to put that level up."
Chance to bounce back against Burnley
Saturday's match with Burnley offers Amorim and his players a chance to kickstart their season against Scott Parker's promoted side.
While Amorim is expected to make wholesale changes to his starting XI - he made eight for the tie at Grimsby - he has urged Kobbie Mainoo, who featured in midweek and been linked with a move away, to "fight for his place".
"I want Kobbie to stay. He needs to fight for his place, and we need Kobbie," said the head coach. "So that is not going to change.
"The rest I don't know how it's going to finish. I understand that the players that are not playing in this moment are disappointed. But everyone will have the same opportunity to play. You have to fight during the week."
