Grimsby Takes on Manchester United: Your Complete Viewing Guide

Manchester United are gearing up for their initial Carabao Cup second round encounter in over a decade, seeking a much more successful outcome this time.
League One side MK Dons delivered a crushing blow to Louis van Gaal's Manchester United in 2014, with double strikes from Will Grigg and Benik Afobe leading to a devastating 4–0 loss for the Red Devils.
Participating in this tournament as early as August represents an embarrassing situation for the prestigious institution of Manchester United, yet this reflects their current circumstances following a notably disappointing 2024–25 season.
A significant opportunity awaits League Two outfit Grimsby Town this Wednesday evening, with the Mariners having established themselves as specialists in major upsets and remarkable cup campaigns in recent years. Could the Red Devils become their latest high-profile victim?
