Man United Manager Amorim Apologises After League Cup Shock Defeat to Grimsby

Manchester United suffered a humiliating exit from the Carabao Cup after being defeated by fourth-tier Grimsby Town in a penalty shootout following a 2-2 draw. Head coach Ruben Amorim openly apologized to fans and harshly criticized his players, stating that "everything" was wrong with the team's performance and suggesting the players' lack of desire was evident. Despite United's late comeback with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire, the team lost 12-11 on penalties, marking their first-ever defeat to a fourth-tier side in the competition. Amorim described the defeat as a new low for the club and indicated that the team's problems run deeper than just the result, emphasizing the need for change and reflection during the upcoming international break. The loss further diminishes United's chances of winning a trophy this season and highlights ongoing struggles following a disappointing 15th place league finish last season. Amorim's remarks reflect frustration with the players' attitude and performance, as he vowed to focus on the next game and reassess the situation.
