Manchester United travel to Blundell Park to face Grimsby Town in the League Cup on Wednesday 27 August 2025, kick-off 8pm BST. United have no European fixtures this season, prompting an earlier-than-usual start to domestic cup action while pressure builds after two Premier League games without a win. Grimsby have won three and drawn two of their first five League Two matches and arrive in good form. Squad rotation is expected with Altay Bayindir potentially leaving before the transfer deadline and Andre Onana returning. Noussair Mazraoui is unlikely to return before the international break. Benjamin Sesko is set to start his first game for United.
With no European football on offer for United this season, it means an earlier-than-usual start to domestic cup action for Ruben Amorim & Co. Back in 2014, Louis van Gaal's United were stunned 4-0 by MK Dons at this stage of the competition. Amorim is waiting for his first win of the season, after two Premier League games played, and a similar showing would be disastrous.
Grimsby Town vs Manchester United is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. The match will take place at Blundell Park. TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football.
