400 million lineups have made another shame in team history! The coaching staff has done nothing, Amorin s coaching has shown signs of collapse
11:33pm, 30 August 2025【Football】
"get out of class out early!" "Can we play you every week?" "That's what the Premier League team is?" - In the first half alone, Grimsby Town fans shouted these three sarcastic words to Manchester United.
You should know that Grimsby is the English League Two team - the fourth-level English Football League. He was still in the National League (Fifth level) a few years ago.
This Manchester United team is not the same as when they were against Portwal in 1994 and Milton Keynes in 2014. It is composed of unknown newcomers or untested rookies. Today's Manchester United lineup costs £401.61 million, but its half-time performance is worse than when it lost to Milton Keynes in 2014.
Although Manchester United equalized the score for a while, they failed to complete the reversal. A marathon penalty shootout ended with Grimsby's 12-11 victory, with Brian Mbemo's shot hitting the crossbar, bringing the farce to an end.
's goal instantly triggered a large-scale rush for fans. Bruno Fernandez quickly stepped forward to escort Mbemo away, Harry Maguire signaled his teammates to return to the player's passage, and Manchester United security personnel also took action immediately.
Throughout the game, Ruben Amorin's body language was like a coach sentenced to "death punishment". At one point, he even had an argument with assistant coach Carlos Fernandez. Looking back at last month's pre-season trip to Chicago, Amorin was dark and relaxed at that time, but now it looks like a dream.
In the second half, Amorin was soaked by the pouring rain. When he rushed into the field to pick up the ball in the 84th minute, a Grimsby fan shouted: "Hey, Amorin, your team is too bad!" Not long after, Maguire's goal shut up the fan, but it was just a brief breath. Although the loss of the penalty shootout slightly diluted the humiliation, this game will still be listed as one of the most shocking cup losses in Manchester United's history, tied with the loss of Bournemouth in 1984, York City in 1995, Southend in 2006, Leeds United in 2010, and Milton Keynes in 2014. After the final whistle, Andre Onana walked into the player channel, goalkeeper Jorge Vital followed closely behind. He then returned to the court, and Fernandez reminded him to remain calm during the penalty shootout. But not long after, Fernandez himself became anxious - he urged Altai Baindir to remind Onana to hand the ball to the next free thrower. In the penalty shootout, Onana saved Clark Odul's shot brilliantly, but then made frequent mistakes. Matteus Cunia had the chance to make the final decision, but was out of line at a critical moment - both new players signed by Manchester United this summer lost penalty kicks.
The performance of Manchester United players seems to be "looking for their own way out". Amorin is certainly responsible for the chaotic dispatch of goalkeeper position, but Onana's performance in Grimsby's two goals is incompetent: his defense is weak in the first goal, and his second goal is easily broken through.
The previous Premier League opening match arranged for Baindir to start, which undoubtedly hit Onana's confidence, but this must not be an excuse for him to act like an amateur player when facing the League Two teams. Amorin did not recognize Tom Heaton's ability before, but now it seems that Heaton is the safest choice for the goalkeeper position this season.
In this club where "everything can go wrong", a former Manchester United youth training player almost became the winner of the opponent - Taylor Warren trained with his friend Marcus Rashford this summer to prepare for his transfer to Barcelona. Now that he saw his old teammates shining against his parent team, Rashford might understand this joy.
The youth training defender Taylor Frederickson in Manchester United's starting lineup is like a child in a pile of strong men. He has become the target of opponents' attacks many times, but he is sadly without teammates stepping forward to protect him. Maguire was captaining for the first time at the start of the game since he was stripped of the captain's armband in July 2023. He handed the armband back to Fernandez in the second half and scored a corner kick from Mason Mount to prosper the game.
But this is not a "save moment". On the contrary, the shortcomings of players, coaches and their teams are exposed to the fullest. Patrick Doorgu only "long passes and rushes" in fierce confrontation. When the heavy rainstorm in the second half drenched Manchester United jerseys in a crimson red, he was replaced - perhaps a "shark" will soon smell the smell of blood (meaning that the team's crisis has caused more doubts).
Dorgu was obviously over-promoted and played too much, just because he was the only senior left winger in the team, so he started every game. You know, the 20-year-old player only joined Manchester United from Lecce in January this year.
Many people have lost confidence in Manchester United's Manuel Ugat, and Ugat himself seems to want to "show it off" - a few seconds before Charles Fernham scored the ball into a blind spot for Grimsby's first record, he was lying on the ground and asking for a free kick. After the game, Frederickson, Ugat and Dorgu could only change their clothes in the noisy main stand auditorium. During the half-time break, Fernandez, Mbemo and Mattes de Ligt made their appearance as substitutes. Diogo Dalot changed to play as the left winger, and in the sevens in the frontcourt in the second half, there were five No. 10 players and a forward. Mbemo scored a goal for Manchester United, but he became one of the rare "zero celebration goals" in the team's history.
As early as 0-0, when Amad lost the ball, Amorin squatted down to the ground with a dejected look; he was already in a very bad mood before Grimsby rewrites the score and shocks the North Sea coast.
Grimsby has probably never "defeated" a team so easily, and it may be more appropriate to describe Manchester United as a "coward". The fierce tackle caused some Manchester United players to completely "quit the game" - in the early stages of the game, Amad was robbed by a fair tackle. Instead of getting up, he lies down and asks for a foul. Obviously, he has no intention of fighting..
Just two minutes into the opening game, Amorin lost control and clapped his hands and shouted at Dorgu. He loves commanding more than usual and keeps accusing Benjamin Sesco of being dissatisfied with the latter's position as far as he does without the ball.
Cesco cooperated with his new teammates, which is no wonder, after all, he failed to start in the first two games against Arsenal and Fulham. Manchester United seems to have no idea "how to play when there is a center in the starting lineup", which is more telling: Sesco is the last non-goalkeeper free thrower to appear. Before the calendar turned to September, away fans were already guessing "When will Amorin be dismissed?" Manchester United's visiting stands were silent at 0-0, and they were even silent when they were behind 1-0, and they were completely numb from 2-0. As the half approached, the fans finally hummed "We’llneverdie" ("We Never Fall"), but the song was as desolate as sorrow and joy.
1200 Manchester United fans squeezed into a stand with the bleachers saying "WinnerWinnerChickenDinner" and "CopesReadymix Ltd" on a billboard. Compared to the "shame battle" of 0-4 defeat to Milton Keynes in the second round of the 2014 League Cup, Grimsby's Brendel Park Stadium is more "original", while the similarities between the two games are clear at a glance.
Louis Van Gaal sent a group of new players, but after the defeat, he still calmly signed the autograph on the sidelines. Amorin does not have such "confidence", and now Manchester United's performance is worse than the team under Van Gaal, who was "slaughtered" 11 years ago.
Manchester United's expensive substitute was mocked by the British League Two fans: "Who are you?" De Ligt and Joshua Zilkize could not even find a seat, and were asked by the picky fourth official to move back. The Brendel Park Stadium, which can accommodate 8,647 spectators, is full.
Amorin today has almost been forced to the edge of the cliff.
