Despite the disappointment of the exit, head coach Ruben Amorim was still optimistic about his team's performance and future prospects. The match was a rollercoaster for the Red Devils, who were in a difficult position from the start. In just 54 minutes, United had conceded three goals to Spurs, putting them at a significant disadvantage. Although they recovered in the second half and fought hard to close the gap, their last-ditch efforts were not enough to secure a comeback.

After the match, Amorim took to the club's official website to share his thoughts. He stressed that winning a single trophy should not be seen as an immediate solution to the club's ongoing transformation. “We can’t think that winning a trophy will make things better,” he declared. “There’s still a long way to go.”

Amorim stressed the importance of patience in the rebuilding process at Old Trafford. The 39-year-old manager pointed out that winning the Premier League remains the primary objective, although he admitted that he could not predict how long it would take to achieve that. “The team is improving as a unit,” he said.

Amorim opted for a number of changes to his squad against Tottenham due to the tight fixture list. Players who have seen little playing time, such as Antony, Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen, have been given opportunities to shine. The move suggests that the club may not be prioritising the Carabao Cup as much as other competitions.

Looking ahead, Amorim and Manchester United are now ready to face Bournemouth next Sunday. The immediate objective for the team is clear: take all three points to improve their position in the table. As United continue their journey back to prominence, the focus will remain on consistent performance and gradual improvement rather than relying solely on cup wins.
