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