  • Manchester United lost 12-11 on penalties to League Two side Grimsby Town after a 2-2 draw at Blundell Park on Wednesday, August 27.
  • The defeat followed Grimsby leading 2-0 into the final 15 minutes and reflected ongoing struggles under Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim, who has been in charge for nine months.

  • Amorim apologized to fans, admitting the defeat was humiliating and saying, "I don't know what to say to the fans anymore," while defender Diogo Dalot called the performance "not good enough."
  • The loss deepens concerns about United's form as they hold one point from two Premier League games and prepare to face newly promoted Burnley on Saturday.
