Ruben Amorim Reveals Reason for Missing Man Utd's Penalty Defeat

The Premier League team lost 12-11 to Grimsby, a League Two team, in a Carabao Cup shootout.

Ruben Amorim, the head coach, did not watch Manchester United's penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town as he felt it was not important at that point in the game. Despite a 2-0 deficit to Grimsby, his team made a second-half comeback leading to penalties. Matheus Cunha missed the decisive penalty, resulting in a 12-11 loss.

Amorim stated that the penalty shootout was not a priority and emphasized the importance of the game itself. He mentioned the need for time to reflect on the team's performance and hinted at changes to come during the international break.

The coach defended Andre Onana, the goalkeeper, despite his errors during the match. Amorim acknowledged the team's poor performance and expressed regret to the fans. The focus now shifts to the upcoming game against Burnley in the Premier League.
