What Erik ten Hag did at Man United before he was sacked is what Ruben Amorim has just done

Ruben Amorim could be set to follow Erik ten Hag's doomed footsteps, especially if Thursday morning's events are any indication.

The under-pressure Manchester United manager arrived at Carrington training ground at dawn, just hours after one of the most embarrassing nights in the club's recent history. On Wednesday, United were sensationally knocked out of the EFL Cup by League Two outfit Grimsby Town – a stunning upset certain to be remembered as one of the season's biggest shocks.

After finishing 2-2 in normal time, Amorim's men crumbled in a nerve-racking penalty shootout, leaving his future at Old Trafford in serious jeopardy. Intent on showing resilience, the Portuguese coach reached the training ground well before 7am, determined to salvage something from the wreck.
