Ex-Sporting boss mocks Amorim: The train only passes once | OneFootball

Manchester United was eliminated in the 32nd round of the English League Cup by a team from the fourth tier of English football. Ruben Amorim's team lost to Grimsby Town on penalties (12-11), after a two-goal draw in regular time.

, former team manager of Sporting's women's football team, reacted to the 'red devils' defeat on social media: "Look... the train only passes once 🤷🏼‍♀️", he wrote on the social network 'X' (former Twitter), alluding to the phrase uttered by the coach when he left Sporting.

The home team was even leading 2-0, forcing Ruben Amorim to make changes, with a brief salvation arriving at 89' by Harry Maguire. A salvation that only led to penalties, where the suffering was total, as even the goalkeepers had to be called to score, before everything started again, to then end in a 12-11, with the 'red devils' missing two penalties by the reinforcements Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Only Benjamin Sesko, Ruben Amorim's most recent reinforcement, is worth almost 20 times more than the entire opposing team, according to Transfermarkt values. In total, Manchester United's squad is worth 246 times more than that of the modest Grimbsy Town.

Ruben Amorim has been at Manchester United for almost 10 months and this was his 17th defeat in 45 matches played. In the Premier League, he only won seven out of 29 duels and three were against teams relegated to the Championship last season.
