- Amorim still enjoys backing of ยูไนเต็ด ownership
- Beaten by กริมสบี้ ใน คาราบาวคัพ
- Man Utd face เบิร์นลีย์ on Saturday
Grimsby Town were off to a dream start against giants United on Wednesday as they took a two-goal lead within the half-hour mark. They dominated the game for nearly an hour but the Red Devils staged a comeback courtesy of late goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire. The ลีกทู side, however, emerged triumphant in the end as they clinched the shootout 12-11 and progressed to the next round of the competition.
The Devils are yet to register a win in the 2025-26 campaign after three matches and their dismal start to the new season has fuelled speculation regarding Amorim’s long-term future at Old Trafford. However, บีบีซี สปอร์ต reports that the Portuguese coach continues to enjoy the trust of the club ownership, who remain firm in their stance that the journey with the 40-year-old is a long-term one and they want to avoid making short-term decisions.
United have already spent £200 million ($270m) on attacking reinforcements this summer with Matheus Cunha, Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko joining Amorim’s squad. Yet, the team has looked worryingly toothless in attack in their first three matches of the season.
Amorim’s side will try to shrug off their Carabao Cup nightmare as soon as possible and register their maiden win this Saturday when they host Burnley in the พรีเมียร์ลีก.
