Grimsby Town shock Manchester United in Carabao Cup exit

In a stunning turn of events, Grimsby Town have knocked Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup, marking one of the most remarkable upsets in recent football history.

The Red Devils, entering the tournament in the second round due to their lack of European fixtures this season, fell behind early. League Two side Grimsby took a surprising 2-0 lead in the first half with goals from Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren, thrilling the home crowd.

Manchester United mounted a late fightback. Substitute Bryan Mbeumo pulled one back, and Harry Maguire equalized with a towering header in the 89th minute, forcing the match into a penalty shootout.

The shootout proved dramatic. After 11 spot-kicks, Mbeumo’s miss—smashing against the bar—sealed the victory for Grimsby, sending shockwaves through English football.

The Red Devils now turn their focus back to Premier League action, beginning with a clash against Brighton.
