Manchester United suffered a shock Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby, losing 12-11 on penalties after Harry Maguire's late equaliser forced a shootout and summer signing Bryan Mbeumo hit the crossbar with the decisive kick. Ruben Amorim did not watch the shootout and said, "I felt my players spoke really loud today what they want." United finished 15th last season and spent roughly £200 million on attacking recruits during the summer amid hopes a full preseason would spark improvement. Early results included a home loss to Arsenal, a draw at Fulham and this cup exit. Wayne Rooney warned Amorim's comments indicate something broken at the club.
I felt my players spoke really loud today what they want.
It can happen. We lost to Crawley years back in the Cup. But the difference is, everyone looking at that game, they know it's a one-off. So the issue now is we're seeing very similar performances, similar results and even though it's only three games into the season, it's getting to a point now where you're like... what is going on?
The biggest concern is the manager saying that, his words after the game were damning on the players and obviously being in a position where I've been in that dressing room, if your manager comes out with those words, there's something broken.
