Overview
- Manchester United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by fourth-tier Grimsby Town after a 2-2 draw and a 12-11 marathon shootout, with both goals conceded stemming from errors and André Onana singled out.
- Ruben Amorim apologized and said “something has to change,” later acknowledging he has at times wanted to quit, even as he prepares the team for the next league match.
- United are winless in three this season despite heavy summer spending, and new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo missed crucial penalties in the defeat.
- Pundits and fans intensified calls for change, questioning Amorim’s tactics and his ability to get more from an expensively assembled squad.
- Reporting in the UK indicates no immediate move from the club to remove him, with attention on Burnley and late-window decisions, including efforts to address the goalkeeping position.
