Amorim must axe Man United flop, his time is up at Old Trafford

Manchester United bowed out of the Carabao Cup following a 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final on Thursday night.

The Red Devils produced a mixed performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and plenty of defensive errors contributed to the loss.

Spurs raced into a deserved 3-0 lead in the 54th minute. United made a good comeback, but it was orchestrated by two goalkeeping errors from Fraser Forster.

Altay Bayindir was equally responsible with a couple of mistakes for United. The match ended 4-3 in Spurs’ favour.

There were plenty of poor performers last night. Bayindir had a forgettable game in goal, while Lisandro Martinez was far from his best in the backline.

The Argentine gifted Dejan Kulusevski with the second goal with a dreadful attempt to clear his lines before being outmuscled by Dominic Solanke for the third.

Antony was another player who underwhelmed, as he failed to capitalise on a big opportunity.

The Brazil international got the nod as one of the playmakers alongside Bruno Fernandes. However, he was barely a threat, with his lack of pace quite evident.

Antony won just four out of 14 duels contested. He did not complete any of his four dribbles. He lost possession on 11 occasions with just 13 passes.

He received a rating of just 4/10 from the Manchester Evening News.

The former Ajax winger had the chance to make a big impression on manager Ruben Amorim, but his time at United should be over after this horror show.

Antony did not muster a single shot on goal until he was replaced in the 55th minute by Amad Diallo.

Diallo was sensational in his cameo, with five attempts on goal. He capitalised on Forster’s error to score and also provided a late assist for Jonny Evans from a corner.

Amorim should have started Diallo in the first place. The result could have been different had the Ivorian ace been named in the starting line-up.
