Man United were early behind 0-2, with goalkeeper Onana partly at fault for both goals conceded. They then equalized 2-2 but lost 11-12 in the penalty shootout. This was a very shocking result for fans. In all competitions, Man United have not won any matches since the season, despite spending a lot of money in the transfer market.
After the match, coach Amorim hinted that the poor attitude of the Man United players was still a problem for the team. I just want to apologize to the fans, I have nothing to say about the teams performance, he said.
According to the Portuguese strategist, what the Man United players showed on the field clearly showed the problems of the team. He also emphasized that the result was fair, because the better team won.
Amorim also did not blame Onana for this defeat. With all the respect, when you play against a fourth-tier team, it is not the goalkeeper, it is everything, the way we face the opponent. We started the game without any intensity. We are completely disoriented by all the ideas of pressure.
This weekend, Man United will meet Burnley at home in the Premier League. Now, we will focus on the next match. We still have a lot of debt to the fans. After this match, Man United will have 2 weeks off. We will solve everything for now.
