Manchester United’s realistic chance of winning a trophy this season further diminished after the fourth-division side Grimsby Town rendered them a humiliating defeat on penalties in Cleethorpes. The Red Devils are yet to win in the Premier League and their only title hope rests with FA Cup.
Manchester United suffered a humiliating loss at the hands of the fourth division side Grimsby Town as they got knocked out of the Carabao Cup. The United haven’t been at their best in the ongoing season, having lost one and drawn the other in the two games they have played so far in the Premier League and their hopes of winning a title further went down a few notches after Grimsby prevailed in a marathon penalty shootout 12-11, following a 2-2 finish at the full time.
“Everything. The way we started the game, we were not even here. When everything is so important in our club, everything that happened. It’s a problem in our club; we should do so much better. I just have to say sorry to our fans. “I felt my players spoke really loudly today about what they want. I think it’s easy for you (how to interpret it). Let’s focus on the next game, and then we have a stop for the international games. We will think things through.” “Doesn’t matter (that we lost on penalties). In the penalties, the feeling is the same. I think football was really fair today. The best team won.”
