Glum Man Utd flops return to training after most embarrassing night of their careers as under-fire Amorim arrives at 7AM

According to The Sun: Manchester United players returned to training in a gloomy mood after the most embarrassing defeat of their careers.

The Red Devils lost in a penalty shootout to League Two club Grimsby – the first team to knock them out at this stage of the tournament.

United went 0-2 down in the first 30 minutes, where Andre Onana put in his worst performance in goal, but after the break the team pulled themselves together and equalized thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire.

However, it did not help as the club lost in the penalty shootout 11-12, with newcomers Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo missing their shots.

The following morning, as the players arrived at the Carrington training center, the atmosphere was tense due to the previous day's defeat to a club that is 58 places lower in English football.

Coach Ruben Amorim, whose chances of keeping his job have diminished, arrived at the base at 7:00 AM.

All players showed up at the updated base, reconstructed at a cost of £50 million, by 11:00 AM, many arriving in luxury cars such as Range Rover, Jaguar, Porsche, and Aston Martin.

Fans expressed their displeasure on social media, indicating that the club has reached a new low point.

Team captain Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot have already experienced tough moments in 2023 when the team suffered a crushing 0-7 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Casemiro and Luke Shaw also remained with the squad after that unfortunate match, but did not participate in the game against Grimsby: Casemiro did not take the field, and Shaw was not included in the matchday squad.

It is worth noting that Shaw remained at the club in 2014 when MU suffered a devastating defeat in the second round of the Carabao Cup – 0-4 against MK Dons, although he too did not participate in the match due to a thigh injury.

Amorim clearly expressed his opinion on the team's performance against Grimsby, noting that his charges “spoke” through their actions about what they wanted.

“I think the best team won, only one team was on the pitch,”

“The best players lose because one team can win against any group of players, and I think the team and the players clearly expressed themselves today, so it happened. We lost, the best team won...”
