Ruben Amorim tore into his flops in the aftermath of The Red Devils crashed out of the Carabao Cup against the League Two side.

They were eventually ousted on penalties after a dismal 2-2 draw. And made his fury very well known after the full-time whistle, claiming that the performances - or lack thereof - of some of his stars spoke volumes.

Speaking to , the Portuguese coach said: ”In the end it doesnt matter if we recover or not. I know the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. The best players lose because any players can win against any group of players.

"I think the players spoke really loud today. The best team won. I think it’s really clear what they spoke. Let’s move on from this day. I think it was really clear what happened today.

Asked what went wrong for his side, he added: “I don’t know. Not just the space but the way we start the game without any intensity, any idea of pressure. We were completely lost. They spoke really loud.

"I think that [the same issues] is a problem. When you lose and see something new, it is different. We have to say sorry to the fans. The support that they gave us with all of the defeats, I just have to say I’m really sorry.

"I think they [the players] gave the response on the pitch today 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."

Andre Onana endured another woeful evening in Grimsby, but Amorim has refused to lay blame just at the Cameroonian's door. In answering the question, Amorim continued to grow more exasperated and added: "When you play with respect, a fourth division team, it’s everything. Not just the goalkeeper. It’s every detail. My players spoke for me really loud."
