Overview

• League Two Grimsby earned a 2-2 draw and won 12-11 on penalties at Blundell Park, with United missing chances to seal it as Matheus Cunha had a kick saved and Bryan Mbeumo hit the bar.
• Both first-half goals for Grimsby followed Manchester United errors, with goalkeeper André Onana singled out for mistakes.
• Ruben Amorim apologized to supporters and told ITV that "something has to change," saying the players "spoke really loudly" about what they want.
• Pundits and fans sharply increased scrutiny on the manager, with BBC analyst Chris Sutton calling the result an embarrassment and online calls for Amorim’s dismissal trending.
• United fielded a £400m-plus lineup featuring new signings but still underperformed, fueling criticism of Amorim’s rigid system and highlighting unresolved needs in goal and midfield ahead of Burnley and the Manchester derby.
