US EditionCarabao Cup: Why Man Utd Lost to Grimsby Town
Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, exited the Carabao Cup after a 12-11 penalty shootout loss to League Two's Grimsby Town, marking their earliest exit since 2014.
- Manchester United lost to League Two side Grimsby Town on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup second round after a 12-11 penalty shoot-out.
- The club entered the match amid a sluggish season start and under pressure after Ruben Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag last November and spent over £200 million on new players.
- Grimsby took a 2-0 lead through Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren, but Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire equalized to force penalties in front of a packed Blundell Park.
- Amorim admitted, "I think the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch," while pundits and former players called the result an embarrassment and questioned his future at the club.
- The defeat marks the first League Cup loss to a fourth-tier side in 11 years and raises speculation that Amorim may resign after the upcoming Burnley match.
