It was United’s earliest entry into the tournament in more than ten years, underlining their miserable 2024/25 campaign.
And while the Red Devils were overwhelming favourites on paper, they carried the added burden of going into the match without a win from their first two Premier League games.
However, Grimsby silenced Manchester United by striking first in the 22nd minute, with Charles Vernam squeezing a shot past Andre Onana at his near post.
Just eight minutes later, the under-pressure goalkeeper was culpable again, failing to deal with a corner that dropped for Tyrell Warren to tap home into an empty net as seen in the video below.
United clawed their way back with late goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire to force a penalty shootout, but Onana saved only one of 12 spot-kicks as Grimsby held their nerve to clinch a famous victory.
Man United fans slam Andre Onana
Furious United fans quickly took to social media, blasting the Cameroonian keeper for another costly display.

“Onana arguably our worst signing in prem history”
@UtdXclusive said:
“Onana is honestly the worst goalkeeper we’ve ever signed”
@AlanShields12, questioned the goalkeeper’s commitment to the cause, writing:
“Onana should never play for Utd ever again, sure he is doing it on purpose at this point.”
@centredevils fumed:
“SELL ANDRE ONANA IMMEDIATELY, DONT EVEN LET HIM ON THE BUS.”Summing up Grimsby’s hopes of advancing, @bethTmufc wrote: “All they have to do is shoot … Onana”.
Andre Onana is reportedly attracting interest from West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window’s close, raising the possibility of a move away from Old Trafford.
However, his woeful display against Grimsby could cool that pursuit, while simultaneously pushing Manchester United to step up their search for a new goalkeeper.
