Manchester United manager, Rubén Amorim, expressed his disappointment after his team’s surprising defeat against Grimsby Town, a League Two club, in the Carabao Cup.

Amorim Criticizes Manchester United’s Performance

Despite coming back from a 2-0 deficit to tie 2-2 at Blundell Park, Manchester United suffered a painful penalty shootout defeat, with a final score of 12-11. Summer signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha missed their penalties, and goalkeeper André Onana could only save one Grimsby shot.This defeat marked the first time United has lost a Carabao Cup match against a fourth-division team and their elimination in the second round for the first time since 2014.

The way we started the match, we weren’t even present.

Amorim held nothing back and harshly criticized his players, suggesting attitude problems within the team.”The way we started the match, we weren’t even present,” Amorim commented. “When everything is so important in our club, everything that happened is a problem in our club, we should do much better.””I just have to apologize to our fans, but I felt my players spoke very clearly today about what they want.””I think I know now that the best team won, the only team that was on the court. And I think my team and the players spoke very clearly today.”

“I think this is a bit of a limit. I think something has to change. Right now, we need to focus on the weekend and then we’ll have time to think.””In penalties, the feeling is the same. I think football was really fair today. The best team won.”The Manchester United has invested more than 200 million pounds in new signings since the end of last season, but the team continues to show difficulties in improving. Amorim insists that more time is needed to change United’s situation.”You can’t change everything in a summer,” he stated. “But you need to win games. You need to not show this kind of performance.””That’s more than a result. That’s the team’s biggest problem. I think that was very clear today.””When you play against a fourth division team, it’s not the goalkeeper [that costs you the victory], it’s everything.””It’s the atmosphere, it’s the way we approach the competition. We know that we are in a moment where people will pay attention to everything.””Every detail will be huge and today we showed that performance. So my players spoke for me very loudly.”
