Manchester United supporters very much enjoyed Grimsby Town's downfall as the League Two side crashed out of the Carabao Cup after losing 5-0 against Brentford on Tuesday. Grimsby fans were on cloud nine only a couple of months ago after they dumped the Red Devils out of the competition following an epic penalty shootout win over the Premier League giants. Goalkeeper Andre Onana in particular had a nightmare outing and was later loaned out to Turkey.
Ruben Amorim hinted that Rasmus Hojlund might feature for Manchester United against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup in midweek, despite being linked with a move back to Italy. Hojlund, who fell out of favour at Old Trafford, has attracted interest from Serie A champions Napoli, who are willing to sign the Danish forward on loan with an option to buy.
Grimsby goalkeeper Christy Pym admitted that he is a Manchester United fan and was "half fuming" after Ruben Amorim's side dismal performance in the Carabao Cup defeat. The League Two side delivered a night of pure footballing theatre, dumping the Red Devils out of the Carabao Cup in an extraordinary second-round tie that ended with an 18-minute penalty shootout. They held their nerve, edging United 12-11 on spot-kicks after a 2-2 draw.
