WAYNE ROONEY believes Ruben Amorim’s comments after Manchester United's shock Carabao Cup defeat at Grimsby show “something is broken’ at the club.

United came from 2-0 down to force a penalty shootout at Blundell Park on Wednesday thanks to Harry Maguire's late goal, but then lost 12-11 on spot-kicks as summer signing Bryan Mbeumo hit the crossbar with the decisive kick.

A dejected Amorim, who had not watched the shootout but preferred to sit in the dugout, said after the game:"I felt my players spoke really loud today what they want.”

After United finished a lowly 15th last season, their worst finish since 1974, there had been high hopes that a full preseason for Amorim and £200million worth of new attacking talent could lead to a turnaround this term.
