"He just needs time. Give him time and he will get it right."
There have been some low points in Ruben Amorim's Manchester United tenure, but a vote of confidence from the manager of League Two Grimsby Town after they have just knocked you out of the Carabao Cup has to be up there.
Perhaps the enduring image of the evening was the sight of the Portuguese "cowering" - as described by BBC Sport's chief football news reporter Simon Stone - in the dugout during the penalty shootout, unable to watch.
Amorim did not hold back in his assessment of his side's performance, saying: "I think this is a little bit the limit. I think something has to change. I think the team and the players spoke really loud today."
