Manchester United once again displayed their trademark resilience in the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Tottenham Hotspur. According to Reuters, United fell behind 3–0 shortly after the half‑time interval, only to roar back with two goals in seven minutes, eventually pushing the score to 3–2
Manager Ruben Amorim, who took charge in November, didn’t mince his words—abandoning any blame, he praised the team’s mental fortitude. “We disconnected in the beginning of the second half, it was a tough moment… then we returned, I think we did a great job,” According to Amorim, while Tottenham were clinical, the spirit shown by United was proof of their evolving DNA.
Despite conceding a fourth goal through a Son Heung‑min free kick, United never gave up. Substitute Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee applied pressure that rattled their hosts, and Jonny Evans provided a glimmer of hope in stoppage time with a late header
This match highlighted that while the rebuilding process is paying off, finishing third to win silverware remains a work in progress. Around this time, there were also rumblings about potential reinforcements for United’s frontline—suggesting Amorim’s squad isn’t relying solely on cup runs to define success.
Next up, Bournemouth await at Old Trafford, and Amorim is determined to use this display as a stepping stone. The fight may not restore silverware overnight, but it signifies a clear shift in attitude under his management. With new additions expected, United could be inching toward more memorable nights at Old Trafford.
