Coach Amorim has been asked to resign immediately by MU fans, after he again blamed the players for the shocking loss to fourth-tier team Grimsby Town in the English League Cup on August 28.

MU was incredibly led by the opponent

Grimsby Town shocked everyone when they took the lead against MU, who played with a team that included expensive stars like Sesko and Matheus Cunha, with a score of 2-0 after only 30 minutes of play.

Bryan Mbeumo and Maguire then equalized 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-division team like Grimsby Town. Regardless, this is the match that coach Amorim used many of his best players.

After the shock of the bitter defeat, coach Amorim criticized his players for their lack of enthusiasm. There is a feeling that the Portuguese coach is gradually losing control in the dressing room, according to the British newspaper, The Sun.

Up to now, 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 striker Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but so far they have not been able to help the team escape the deadlock.
