'Something has to change' - Amorim addresses Man Utd's collapse at Grimsby

Manchester United added another historic embarrassment to their recent record after the Red Devils were knocked out by League Two side Grimsby Town in the second round of the League Cup.

The Red Devils started the match horribly and found themselves 2-0 down at half-time. The Red Devils managed to reduce the deficit through Mbeumo, and Harry Maguire restored parity in the dying moments with a header. However, the Mancunian side were eliminated on penalties after Mbeumo was denied by the woodwork from 12 yards. 

Ruben Amorim said in a press conference that "something has to change" at the club to avoid such embarrassments and thus change the dynamic of a historic club that is a far cry from the team that terrorised English sides several years ago. 

“I think this is a little bit the limit,” he said. “Something has to change. In this moment, we need to focus on the weekend and then we have time to think.

“Everything [was wrong]. 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. I felt my players spoke really loud today about what they want.”

I think it’s easy for you [to know],” the head coach said. “Let’s focus on the next game and then we have the stop for the international games. We will think things through. I think football was really fair today. The best team won," he concluded.
