The last thing Ruben Amorim needs at this time is that Manchester United is the victims of an annoying glass, but that is precisely what could happen tomorrow night.
United goes to Blundell Park to face Grimsby from League Dos in the second round of the EFL Cup with Amorim still struggling to get a melody of his expensive team gathered.
They have produced decent actions against Arsenal and Fulham, but they have not yet won, claiming only the lonely point against the Cottagers on Sunday afternoon.
United spent summer trying to reinforce his attack options, bringing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko at a combined cost of approaching £ 200 million, however, they have gathered only one goal so far, and that was his own goal scored by Rodrigo Muniz de Fulham.
The love record in Old Trafford remains desperately disappointing and, although fans of the day have not yet expressed their disgust, the Portuguese must realize that it needs to transfer things and quickly.
He has confirmed that he will make several changes for the journey to the east coast with Andre Onana will probably return in the goal.
Altay Bayindir has played the first two games of the Premier League of the season, but it has been unstable, particularly at crossings.
When asked today if his defense is doing enough to protect the goalkeeper, Amorim said: “Yes. We are trying everything. I know you are concentrated a lot in the corners of the opponents, but if you remember this game (in Fulham), we had our possibilities and we scored a goal from an established piece. We had a penalty. We had at least one at least one in the end.
“You can see all the games in the Premier League. Tell me a game that did not see a great occasion from a corner? That will happen in each game.”
Grimsby will probably go to the parts of the sets as an area in which they can hurt United.
David Artell’s men have enjoyed an undefeated beginning of the league season and remain one of the main contenders for promotion.
The atmosphere inside the tight soil will be electric And has all the characteristics of a fabulous occasion for the local team.
Amorim will be desperate to avoid another shame with the winners of the EFL Cup that obtain a place in Europe, one of the declared ambitions of the club this season.
United will not play in continental competition in this term and the absence of another season of the upper table could provide a large financial headache.
“We need time to build a base and then, in the future, to advance,” said Amorim.
“We will get to a time when we need to have Europe so that everyone can play.”
Grimsby has doubts about the aptitude of Jason Svanthorson and Sam Lavelle and both are probably lost.
United will make wholesale changes with several players who desperately need game time.
Sesko could start his first beginning with people like Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and the young Ayden Heaven and Tyler Fredricson to present.
Noussair Mazraoui is injured, while Rasmus Hojliund plays while approaching a transfer to Napoli.
Grimsby: Pym; Rodgers, Warren, Mcjannet, Staunton; Mceachren, Amaluzor, Turi, Khouri, Burns; Kabia
Man United: Onana; Sky, Maguare, Fredricson; Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dorgu; Monte, Zirkzee, Sesko
Grimsby versus Manchester United begins at 8pm at the time of the United Kingdom tomorrow night.
It will be transmitted simultaneously on ITV and Sky Sports and can be transmitted through the respective platforms of both channels: ITVX and Sky Go.
