Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has blasted his players for suffering a Carabao Cup humiliation by losing to EFL League Two club Grimsby Town. He recently said the best team won on the night as MUFC crashed out of the tournament.
Speaking to the press, Amorim criticized the team, hinting at a poor attitude still being an issue within his squad.
According to him, he is very sorry to Manchester United fans across the globe for the dire performance they watched on their TV screen, and it is clear that something has to change in the coming weeks.
He stated that the defeat is the height of humiliation for the club because the team’s performance was nothing to write home about.
“The way we started the game, we were not even here. When everything is so important in our club, everything that happened, it’s a problem in our club, we should do so much better.
I just have to say sorry to our fans, but I felt my players spoke really loud today what they want.
I think now I know that the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. And I think my team and the players spoke really loud today.
I think this is a little bit the limit. I think something has to change. In this moment, we need to focus on the weekend and then we have time to think.
In the penalties, the feeling is the same. I think football was really fair today. The best team won,” he said.
Emphasising that he’ll need more time to improve the team, Amorim noted that it’ll be impossible to change everything in one summer.
He concluded by saying that Onana was not the reason MUFC lost the game, stressing that the entire team’s underperformance is to blame.
“You cannot change everything in one summer. But you need to win games. You need to not show this kind of performance.
That is more than a result. That is the biggest problem in the team. I think it was really clear today.
When you play against a fourth division team, it’s not the goalkeeper [that costs you the win], it’s everything.
It’s the environment, it’s the way we face the competition. We know that we are in a moment when people will pay attention to everything.
It’s going to be massive every detail and we show that performance today. So my players spoke for me really loud,” he added.
