Bryan Mbeumo and Maguire then managed to equalize 2-2 in the 75th and 89th minutes for MU, to take the match to a penalty shootout. However, here, the "Red Devils" lost 11-12, in which Bryan Mbeumo was the one who missed the decisive 11m kick.

This is the first time in the 65-year history of the League Cup that such a big shock has been witnessed, when the mighty MU club lost to a fourth-tier team like Grimsby Town. Regardless, this is a match in which coach Amorim used many of his best players.

Manchester United Crisis - Is Coach Amorim the Problem?

After receiving the bitter shock of defeat, coach Amorim criticized his players for playing without enthusiasm. There is a feeling that the Portuguese coach is gradually losing control in the dressing room, according to the British newspaper, The Sun.

So far, Coach Amorim has only had a winning percentage of 37% when leading MU. In the Premier League, in 29 matches leading MU, Coach Amorim has only won 28 points, less than the number of matches. Specifically, there are only 7 wins, 15 losses and 7 draws. Last season, MU ranked 15th, this season after 2 matches they are ranked 16th with only 1 point.

After the shock of being eliminated early in the League Cup, this weekend MU will have a home match against Premier League newcomer Burnley at 9pm on August 30. Burnley just had 2 consecutive wins against Sunderland 2-0 and Derby County 2-1 (League Cup).

Meanwhile, MU fans have shown that they have run out of patience with coach Amorim. They demand that this coach resign immediately, because there is no solution to revive the team. In fact, he is pushing the team deeper into crisis.

In the 2025-2026 season, MU spent more than 200 million pounds (about 7,129 billion VND) to buy 3 stars including strikers Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but so far they have not been able to help the team escape the deadlock.
