Over £600m played some part at fourth-tier Grimsby. And it still required Harry Maguire’s large head to take things to a penalty shootout.
Remember, this is a fourth division side Manchester United were playing. From 12 yards, £600m worth of footballers should be able to strike a ball in a straighter line than their opponents.
Instead, Benjamin Sesko stepped up 10th, one before goalkeeper Andre Onana, to take a penalty against, I remind you, a fourth-tier side. Amid the litany of humiliating moments, that is quite frankly the most astonishing.
“The way we started the game, we were not even here,” Amorim said after watching his side concede twice in the first 30 minutes. “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 would like to say very smart things and very important things. I have nothing to say. Nothing to say. That is the biggest problem also. To see the same mistakes and nothing to say in this moment. I’m really sorry for our fans. It’s too much sometimes.”
And to think, United fans were buoyed by “beating” Arsenal on xG on the opening day, all while guffawing at struggling debutant Viktor Gyokeres, who has since scored double the amount of goals as United mustered in their opening two league matches.
Starting Sesko for the first time against a team like Grimsby seemed like the perfect moment for the Slovenian to find his goalscoring touch on English soil. But other than a near-post effort in the first half, the big-money arrival flattered to deceive.
Even if he had a knock and was not perhaps fully fit come the penalty shootout, as some United staff suggested, he should, given he looks leaner than most prizewinning racehorses, have had enough energy for two strides and a swing of his right foot.
We just shouldn’t have had to wait so long for it. Enough goes wrong at Manchester United, they don’t need embarrassments like this to intensify the scrutiny. Whoever sanctioned their frontline striker to take the 10th penalty deserves to be put under the microscope.
Even if that is the manager.
