Fans criticize Ruben Amorim for not watching any of Man United's shootout penalties against Grimsby.

Manchester United fans criticized Ruben Amorim for not watching his team's penalty shootout as they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. The team lost to Grimsby Town in a match where they struggled and eventually went to penalties.

Despite a strong lineup that included new signings Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United fell behind 2-0 due to mistakes by Andre Onana. They managed to equalize and force a penalty shootout, which ended in a historic 12-11 victory for Grimsby after Bryan Mbuemo missed the decisive penalty.

Amorim's decision to not watch the penalties drew criticism from fans and pundits, with many calling it "pathetic" and questioning his suitability for a club of United's stature. The manager's post-match interview acknowledged the team's poor performance and admitted that the better team won.

With this loss, Manchester United's chances for a trophy this season now rely solely on the FA Cup and the Premier League, as they missed out on European football last season. The team will face Burnley in their next Premier League match at Old Trafford.
