Man United getting eliminated from the EFL cup by Grimsby Town, a club from League Two (so 3 tiers below the Premier League) is all over the news in the UK.
Of course, the EFL is not Amorim's priority, but I don't think they intended to give up the game. Definitely not when the team's performance is questionable and people start expressing doubts about whether Amorim knows what he's doing and whether he's the right man for the job.
To be fair to Man United, they did dominate the game in terms of shots on goal and ball possession, but they struggled to find the way to the net and it backfired on them. Onana's mistake with the 2nd goal for Grimsby didn't help either.
If they don't earn 3 points against Burnley (at home) this Saturday, I think the club owners might lose their patience and could start looking for Amorim's replacement. But it's not like they have any suitable candidates available anyway.

yeah it is cruel to be kicked out by League Two Grimsby. A startling Onana error & 2 late goal before they crashed out in penalties were part of that 12-11 penalty shootout loss following a 2-2 draw. However in practice firing someone after a single subpar outcome is harsh, particularly when there is not a clear successor with the capacity to temporarily rebuild. Amorim acknowledges that everything went wrong & promises to make things right. Jumping ship now says more about panic than strategic planning but Burnley at home is a must win to calm the chaos.
