After suffering a defeat in the second round of the Carabao Cup to Grimsby Town, a team from League Two, Manchester United reached a new and extremely low point in their season.
After scoring two goals in the first half, the home team startled United.
With the help of Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire, the Red Devils were able to get back into the game after the break, thanks to the substitutions that were made.
Following Mbeumo’s missed opportunity in the sudden death, the visitors were unable to alter the outcome of the game, which resulted in a loss of 12-11 in penalties.
As the rain continued to pour down at Blundell Park, United head coach Ruben Amorim appeared to be looking both drenched and disheartened.
In light of the most recent humiliation, he made a veiled reference to the possibility of quitting his job.
ITV Sports reported that he made the following statement: “I believe the players spoke really loudly about what they want today.” Something needs to be changed, and you are not going to repeat the process of changing 22 players.
It is challenging to confront everything. We will go on to the next game, and then we will have some time to make a decision.
Following the performance of his team in the first half, Amorim was both startled and irritated with his team’s performance.
This competition was not about skill; rather, it was about mentality, hunger, and devotion to passion.
In every single one of these three categories, United failed miserably.
To this day, the Portuguese manager has not been able to earn consecutive victories in the Premier League.
After his arrival, United nevertheless managed to finish 15th in the league during the previous season.
Supporters have continued to supporting him and the players, despite the fact that they have displayed a streak of poor performances.
It is possible that the defeat that occurred yesterday will be too much for any United manager to bear.
At Old Trafford, the standards are set so high that they are impossible to achieve, and losses such as this one require accountability.
It would be unfair to place all of the blame on Amorim. When it comes to the 3-4-2-1 shape, the manager’s obstinacy is not the only factor worth considering.
A significant number of these players have struggled under a variety of managers and in a number of different systems.
All of the hope that existed prior to the start of the season has been wiped out, and United are now in crisis mode.
When the next international break comes around, the Red Devils might have a new manager in place.
