US EditionGrimsby 2-2 Manchester United (12-11 pens): Bryan Mbeumo misses in shootout as Man Utd humiliated
- Manchester United was eliminated by fourth-tier Grimsby Town on August 27, 2025, in a 12-11 penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw at Blundell Park.
- United faced this second-round Carabao Cup match for the first time since 2014 after a disappointing 15th-place Premier League finish and missing European qualification last season.
- Grimsby scored twice in the first half through Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren capitalizing on a goalkeeper error, while United staged a late comeback with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire.
- In the shootout, Matheus Cunha missed a crucial penalty, but it was Bryan Mbeumo’s effort hitting the crossbar that sealed United’s fate and sparked pitch invasions and chants against manager Ruben Amorim.
- This upset deepens pressure on Amorim’s rebuilding phase, marking another low point after past humiliations and suggesting continued challenges for United’s progress.
