Manchester United have no games out in Europe that are going to “steal” the focus from building up a game that the Premier League competitors (and English cup opponents) should not be able to stop. 15th place last season, 8th place the season before. The 2025/26 season will be worked on to perform in the world’s toughest league. This is Ruben Amorim’s main challenge. After Wednesday’s cup defeat to League Two club Grimsby Town, it was a Portuguese who directed a good deal of anger at his own players.
Ruben Amorim launched a fierce attack on the Manchester United players after an embarrassing performance in the Carabao Cup, after the Red Devils boss has promised to fix the growing problems. On Wednesday night, Grimsby beat United 12-11 in a penalty shootout. The game had already developed into chaos before the penalty shootout, where United had to save themselves from being down by two goals against opponents who cost only a fraction of United’s squad value.

-I know that the best team won. The only team that was on the field. The best players lost. Any team can win against a group of players. I think the team and the players spoke very loudly today. That was it. We lost, the best team won. It’s not just the space [Manchester United gave Grimsby], but the way we started the game without intensity. All the ideas about the pressure, we were completely lost. It’s hard to explain,” Amorim grumbled to Sky Sports.
