So far, Manchester United has spent around £ 200 million on new signing sessions this summer and the Red Devils want to further strengthen their team before the transfer window closes
Manchester United weighs late movements for two players after their humiliating exit from the Carabao Cup. United was beaten out of the tournament on penalties by League Two Side Grimsby. Grimsby went 2-0 in the first half thanks to strikes from Charles and Tyrell Warren, but late goals by Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire sent the draw to punishing-all for Grimsby to overcome 12-11.
The humiliating defeat means that United is still looking for their first victory of the season and increases the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. United has strengthened their team this summer and poured out more than £ 200 million to bring in Benjamin Sesko, Mbeumo and Cunha. Yet the Red Devils are still looking at the addition of more new signing sessions and a midfielder is at the top of the list, which has cooled their interest in Carlos Baleba with Brighton who demands more than £ 100 million for the 21-year-old.
Now late window movements are weighed for two potential alternatives, with Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton and sporty captain Morten Hjulmand both in the sights of club heads, as reported for the first time by athletics.
United will be back in action on Saturday when they organize Burnley in Old Trafford, will desperately see a much improved performance on his side.
“Ultimately, it doesn't matter if we are recovering or not,” Amorim said to Grimsby after loss. “I know that the best team won, the only team that was on the field. Losing the best players because players can win against every group of players. I think the players spoke very loudly today. The best team won.
“I think it is really clear what they spoke. Let's continue from this day. I think it was really clear what happened today.” When asked what went wrong, Amorim replied: “I don't know. Not just the space, but the way we start the game without any intensity, some idea of pressure.
“We were completely lost. They spoke very hard. I think that [the same issues] Is a problem. If you lose and see something new, it's different. We have to say sorry to the fans.
“The support they have given us with all the defeats, I just have to say that I really regret. I think they are that [the players] Today gave the reaction to the field, so I don't have to talk about that.
“We have a game at the weekend and then we have two weeks and we will sort things out.”
