Get him gone in the summer” šManchester United fans have made their feelings clear following their defeat against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup United fans have seen enough and have called on Amorim to make a ruthless call š¬
Ruben Amorim made the decision to recall Alejandro Garnacho to the matchday squad, while Marcus Rashford was notably absent. Earlier in the week, Rashford had given a revealing interview where he hinted at his readiness to leave Manchester United. Amorim clarified that Rashfordās omission was purely a selection choice, praising Garnacho for his improved efforts in training following his exclusion from the Manchester derby lineup.
Despite Garnachoās inclusion as a substitute, the Argentine was unable to prevent United’s elimination from the Carabao Cup. Ange Postecoglouās Tottenham Hotspur dominated early, with Dominic Solanke taking advantage of a mistake by Altay Bayindir to open the scoring. Shortly after the break, Dejan Kulusevski extended the lead, and Solanke struck again just ten minutes later to seal Spursā commanding position.
United’s defensive vulnerabilities were heavily criticized, with Lisandro Martinez facing sharp scrutiny for his role in Tottenhamās goals. Gary Neville labeled his clearance leading up to Kulusevskiās goal as āweak,ā a sentiment echoed by disappointed fans online.
One fan commented, āMartinez is having a disaster class! Terrible defending that cost us the match.ā Another added, āMartinez hasnāt been himself for months. He played well in the Derby, but overall, heās been unreliable compared to last season.ā
Some fans even suggested drastic changes, with remarks like, āHe should be a squad player at best; heās not good enough for a title-winning side,ā and, āWe should sell him in the summer. Even in his first season, he had shaky moments, and now itās clear heās not top-four quality.ā
Another critique read, āHe hasnāt been the same since his injury. We need a new left-sided center-back in the summer.ā
Despite these setbacks, United nearly staged a late comeback. Tottenhamās backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster made costly errors, including a misplaced pass that allowed Bruno Fernandes to assist Joshua Zirkzee for a goal. Moments later, Amad Diallo intercepted a slow clearance from Forster, sliding the ball into the net.
However, Tottenham regained control when Son Heung-min scored directly from a corner. Bayindir vehemently protested, claiming he was fouled in the buildup, but with no VAR in place, the referee allowed the goal to stand.
In injury time, Jonny Evans scored to heighten the tension, but Spurs held firm to secure their place in the semi-finals. They will now join Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle in the competitio
nās final four.
