Manchester United – bloody hell: after a chaotic display in regular time that somehow pulled them back to 2-2 and penalties, Ruben Amorim’s rabble lost a fevered shootout 12-11.
When Bryan Mbeumo’s kick smacked Christy Pym’s bar Grimsby entered the nirvana of a cup-shock for the ages and the faithful’s song of “Oh when the Town go steaming in” sweetly summed up what they did to United.
United were two down by the interval and appeared heading out after Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren first-half strikes had the 20-times English champions facing a humiliating oblivion from the Carabao Cup.
But a 75th-minute Mbeumo finish handed United a lifeline before Maguire’s stooping header squeezed in at the near post took the game to the penalty lottery.
Amorim’s men lost it, so, let the inquest begin.
