His post-match oratory in the immediacy of the Grimsby Town debacle felt almost cathartic, a moment of release; that’s it, I’m done, I hold up my hands, I’m beaten.
Amorim brushed it all aside. This was not some technical failing, this was not about tactics or formations. The issues troubling Amorim go deeper than data points and systems.
In his overwrought state he was alluding to a kind of anomie, a total breakdown of norms eating away at the fabric of the club, a profound malaise that appears too big for him to tackle alone.
"I think the players spoke really loudly about what they want today.""I just want to apologise to our fans.""Something has to change and you're not going to change 22 players again."Ruben Amorim speaks with @gabrielclarke05 after defeat to Grimsby#MUFC | #CarabaoCup pic.twitter.com/anXoVFHoMP
— ITV Football (@itvfootball) August 27, 2025Ultimate responsibility rests with Omar Berrada, the chief executive hired to re-energise and renew big brand United. Alongside his newly-appointed director of football, Jason Wilcox, Berrada went all in to appoint Amorim, a coach supposedly identified by a technical department sold as best-in-class, acting on next level intel and processes.
There was much cooing then about the upgrade in performance. Yet the signs were there, another goalless afternoon, another defeat to a set-piece howler. United couldn’t even draw a contest they should have won.

The penalties might have been the work of a dramatist seeking a suitably theatrical ending, a shootout barrelling towards an inevitable end, thousands of happy feet trampling the body of the prone Goliath as Blundell Park erupted.
Amid all this, Amorim flounders, nervously rearranging the pieces on his tactics board as United burn.
“I’m seven [nine] months here talking about the environment, it’s more than that. I’m shocked. We make a lot of changes, we try to fight a lot of things.
If that does not point to managerial change, what does? Amorim has tried everything in his power to affect change, yet the same issues recur.
“I don’t know what to say to our fans anymore,” he added.
“We can play with three, four, five defenders. That doesn’t matter. What matters is we need to be different.
“The penalty shootout was not important. If I’m there trying to see if we win the game, it doesn’t matter. The beginning of the game, during the game, that’s what matters. If we win this game it would be so unfair.”

And so to the visit of Burnley, after which it appears there is a decision to make. Perhaps he has already made it.
“We move to the next game and then we have time to decide things,” he said, the night air in Grimsby thick with resignation.
