These days, the creativity at Manchester
United is finding ways of sinking to new
lows. Beaten for the first time by a
fourth tier club in the League Cup. And
a defining image of the night Grimby
knocked them out, their manager, Ruben
Amarim, on the bench befuddled using
magnetic players on a tactics board
trying to figure just what to do with
his team. There was a comeback from two
down before losing on penalties. I think
the the team and the players spoke
really loud today. Uh so uh that's it
and uh we lost the best team won.
>> So less than 10 months into the job
growing doubts about Amarim after their
lowest ever Premier League finish this
season beginning with a defeat and a
draw.
>> Manager needs to go. Harry Mcguire needs
to go. Players all need to go. We all
want to give away the wages and give
them to the fans because we're all
devastated. Stuff like that shouldn't be
happening. I think it's absolute
shambles. Like it's Manchester United,
you know.
>> I can see them personally myself in the
next couple of months if they don't
start out winning any games, they will
be relegated.
>> But Grimby are basking and masterminding
one of the biggest cup upsets ever.
>> It's huge. Um not just for Grimby, but
for lower league football. Um you know,
it's a fantastic showcase of, you know,
what what we're doing. Um it shows what
the club's building at Grimby. Um the
manager David Artell is is fantastic and
we've got some brilliant owners too.
>> A club that spent nothing in the summer
beating the Giants who added 200 million
pounds worth of new players still unable
to lift United out of their doom cycle.
Just like the five other permanent
managers they've churned through in the
12 years since Sir Ferguson's
retirement.
Disarray and despondency replacing the
dominance. How much more misery can the
ownership of the Glazes and Sir Jim
Rackliffe take before deciding another
managerial change is needed? And how
much more can the fans take in this fall
from grace? Rob Harris, Sky News.
