Manchester United's early exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town has left manager Ruben Amorim searching for answers. The Red Devils suffered a humiliating defeat, losing on penalties after a 2-2 draw. This result piles more pressure on Amorim, whose side has yet to win a game this season.
The match saw Grimsby take a 2-0 lead, before Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire leveled the score for Manchester United. However, United were unable to find a winner and ultimately succumbed to a penalty shootout loss.
Amorim expressed his frustration after the match, stating that "something has to change". However, he also gave a cryptic response, suggesting that the solution isn't simply replacing a large number of players. When asked about Manchester United's goalkeeper situation, Amorim defended Andre Onana, stating that the issues are far larger than just the goalkeeper.
The defeat to Grimsby marks a new low for Amorim's tenure at Manchester United. The team's performance has been lackluster, and the manager is under increasing pressure to turn things around. While Amorim acknowledges the need for change, the exact path forward remains unclear.
