Since the start of this season, Manchester United's highest achievement has been a draw against Fulham. In the Premier League, Manchester United finished 16th. And in the EFL Cup, they even lost to a small club, Grimsby Town F.C., a top-four finisher in Football League 2.
This is truly embarrassing.
They even drew in the EFL Cup, but ultimately lost on penalties. And it was a 12-11 goals. This is truly, truly bizarre.
Now that Manchester United is out of the Champions League and will focus on the English Premier League, they certainly should have aimed for the best possible result in the Cup as well. Losing to a fourth-division team right at the start is a huge blow to Amorim’s reputation. It shows that the team is currently not competitive, this is a weak opponent they should have beaten comfortably, yet they barely managed a draw, and then lost in a long penalty shootout. I don’t even know what to say, it seems the team’s spirit is very low right now, and it looks like Amorim is unable to fix it.
Manchester United were out of the Champions League competition last season but still they could not finish the season at a good level in the points table as expected by the fans. The fans have been enduring such poor performances of Manchester United for several seasons, but still Manchester United fans accept these things and expect that their team will perform well at some point.
Last season, Manchester United had a chance to win the European League title but they were defeated by Tottenham in the final match. It was a really difficult result for Manchester United. The current situation of the Manchester United team does not seem to suggest that Manchester United will be able to stay in a good position in the English Premier League this season.
Manchester United has already played a total of three matches in the Premier League where they have not been able to win any match so far, meaning that they have already moved a lot towards themselves in the points table at the beginning.
