Overview

• Manchester United drew 2-2 at Blundell Park and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby Town, losing 12-11 on penalties.
• Benjamin Sesko, a £74m signing from RB Leipzig, made his first start, missed clear chances, and took United’s 10th penalty in the shootout, converting with only Andre Onana behind him.
• Fellow summer recruits Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, part of a frontline outlay of about £207m, each failed from the spot, with Cunha missing a potential winner and Mbeumo hitting the crossbar.
• Manager Ruben Amorim condemned the performance, saying the team began without intensity, looked "completely lost," and that the better side won.
• Rival fans seized on the display, with Arsenal and Newcastle supporters mocking Sesko’s showing and hailing their clubs’ decisions not to sign him.
