Can Amorim Avoid Van Gaal’s Cup Fiasco?…
Manchester United is aiming for their first win of the season as they travel to Grimsby Town tonight. The 2025/26 kick-off wasn’t exactly like being greeted with an unlimited supply of free pizza; instead, it was tough from the start with an opener against Arsenal. Now with a sobering draw at Fulham last week, excitement flows like a snail crossing a freeway as United faces must-win games against Grimsby and Burnley. Amorim’s crew is desperate to avoid a repeat of the infamous van Gaal episode where United was served a humble pie at MK Dons, failing to reach Europe and suffering an epic 4-0 defeat.
With Benjamin Sesko poised for his first start, United hopes for a goal-scoring spree akin to a squirrel buried in a heap of acorns. However, they’re all too familiar with last-minute letdowns that might have fans biting their nails into oblivion. Amorim seeks redemption and avoids an early League Cup exit that would have heads turning faster than a cheetah on roller skates.
