The enduring image of Ruben Amorim's 14-month tenure at Manchester United may well be the one of him cowering in the dugout at Grimsby. As with many aspects of his personality, once Amorim is on a set course, he will not change. His first interaction with the media on Friday included a thinly disguised admission there were splits behind the scenes. After the game, he launched his final broadside in his last answer, which included the statement he "would not quit". As the fallout continues, BBC Sport goes inside Amorim's reign as Manchester United head coach - not manager - and tries to explain how we got here.
