Man Utd chiefs back Amorim despite Grimsby defeat

Despite last night’s shocking Carabao Cup defeat at League Two Grimsby, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is understood to still have the backing of the club’s owners.

Following the penalty shootout loss at Blundell Park, before his team had to come back from two goals down after being outplayed for an hour, Amorim has left questions over his tenure with his own statements.

However, sources who are aware of the situation are steadfast that this uncertainty does not exist from the top down.

They claim that the club wants to avoid making quick decisions based on a few subpar outcomes and that it was always believed the journey under Amorim would be long.

While negotiations are likely to end with Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund joining Chelsea, Real Betis, and Napoli, respectively, continue, United has backed Amorim by spending £200 million on attacking players this summer.

For the first time in a loss to fourth-tier opposition, United lost at Grimsby. Afterward, Amorim avoided the media and addressed his depressing assessment to MUTV, which he had obtained from the station.

He said, “Let’s concentrate on the next game, and then we have time to think about things.”

We need to work on a task, prepare a task, and then reflect on the situation.

The Portuguese manager chose not to clarify his remarks, which some thought were the 40-year-old considering his future even inside Old Trafford.

This has happened before, not once. He reportedly offered to quit last season, but it has never been confirmed. Amorim described his desire to do a good job and emotional reaction as “an ego thing” in the summer.

When he speaks to the media on Friday afternoon before his team’s Premier League game against Burnley at Old Trafford the following day, he is likely to be asked about his remarks.

United’s first derby of the season takes place at Etihad Stadium right after the international break. On October 19th, Chelsea travel to Old Trafford the following week, while Old Trafford will host its current rivals.

He will also be asked to elaborate on his claim that his players “spoke really loud today what they want” (Stokes). What the former Sporting coach was saying is unklar even within the dressing room, which initially appeared so supportive of Amorim during a pre-season notable for the camp’s unity.

Few players who started the game last night, such as goalkeeper Andre Onana and midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who played the full 90 minutes, and who made a convincing case for selection against Burnley.

In addition to raising eyebrows, United’s $ 73.7 million forward Benjamin Sesko was the last outfielder to suffer a penalty during the marathon shootout, which included 13 shots for each team.
