Manchester United did not join Blundell Park in its strongest formation. Captain Bruno Fernandes, Matthijs de Ligt and Bryan Mbeumo, for example, were on the bench. But furthermore, top purchases Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha were just kicking off and other acquaintances, such as Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire, had a base place.

Nevertheless, Grimsby took the lead halfway through the first half. The home team got way too much space and with a hard low shot in the short corner, Charles passed André Onana. The former Ajax player did not look good eight minutes later. At a corner he was completely wrong and Tyrell Warren – trained by Manchester United – benefited by tapping inside.

Matthijs de Ligt falls into

Amorim logically intervened in the peace of the Ligt, Fernandes and Mbeumo. They did that in the pouring rain on a slowly slippery field. But even after the rain stopped falling, it was not that United took the opportunities together in this more intended basic formation. In fact, Grimsby was perhaps even more dangerous and saw the 3-0 being rejected due to offside.

Moments later it was 2-1. Mbeumo was not tackled and shoved well inside. Then Joshua Zirkzee was also allowed to come in. After a scrimmage did not come in earlier, Maguire headed into the equalizer just before time. Sesko then got a huge opportunity, but he shot up close. So penalties had to make the decision.

Manchester was able to decide early, but Cunha misses the chance of winning. After which a miss was no longer reviewed. Even the keepers had to take and they too remained flawless. So there was a second series. It went wrong with United’s thirteenth attempt. Mbeumo hit the bar and a true folk festival at Grimsby Town degenerated.
