"United had trailed 2-0, almost going three down before Cameron Gardner's second-half goal was ruled out for offside, but a late rally saw them haul themselves back to 2-2 with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire. Before a chaotic shootout, marked out by misses by strikers Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo, £74 million summer signing Benjamin Sesko shot over from six yards with the last kick of the game."
""When you play against a fourth-division team, it's not the goalkeeper [that costs you the win], it's everything." Amorim said. "It's the environment, it's the way we face the competition. We know that we are in a moment when people will pay attention to everything. "It's going to be massive, every detail, and we show that performance today. So my players spoke for me really loud.""
Manchester United exited after a 2-2 draw and a 12-11 penalty shootout loss to Grimsby Town, marking the club's first defeat to a fourth-tier side in the competition after 11 prior wins. United fell behind 2-0 and nearly went three down before an offside ruling disallowed Cameron Gardner's goal. Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire restored parity, but a chaotic shootout, including misses from Matheus Cunha, Mbeumo and summer signing Benjamin Sesko, decided the tie. Ruben Amorim described the performance as symptomatic of broader problems and warned that scrutiny on every detail will intensify, putting his position under pressure given United's expensive squad.
