Ruben Amorim and his men had everything going for them starting from a dominating possession to over three times more shots taken from Spurs. Even so, they couldn&rsquo;t top the match in their favour.<\/p><p>After a deflected goal by Brennan Johnson, Spurs defended with resilience and lifted the trophy. Following the heartbreak, the Red Devils coach Amorim has responded to growing calls for his sacking. The 1-0 loss capped off a torrid season for the Red Devils. They now sit in 16th place in the Premier League and remain trophyless for another year.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; R&uacute;ben Amorim: &ldquo;I will not quit.

In such a situation, the club&rsquo;s fanbase is demanding answers, the pressure on Amorim is at an all-time high. Whether the board stands by him or opts for change remains to be seen. If they choose to stay with him, Amorim will then have a mountainous task of turning everything around next season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
