Utd are ''calm and relaxed'' around the GK situation.

They apparently had a chance to sign Donnoruma, although I find that hard to believe.

Reminds me of us with Bazunu tbf

Man Utd are just a mess, no idea what fixes them. They keep throwing money at it and different managers, but it never changes. 

As one paper wrote about the Man U recruitments some time last Spring  “they have had their pants pulled down so many times on players most of us have never heard, of and often never live up to their price tag”. 
 

it’s is both staggering and amusing to observe

I’m fairly sure Donnoruma turned us down because the big Debenhams closed.

[John Boy Saint]

Blimey Rangers are getting royally rogered 5-0 (8-1 on aggregate)

[AlexLaw76]

Manu United have Gareth Southgate's name all over them

Boring as hell as appointments go but that would be a decent shout for them.

Alcaraz scores for Everton.

Found his level.

[whelk]

Are they still singing?Ruben Amorim! He'll bring the glory days again! We'll back him from the Stretford End! He'll turn the Reds around!" 

[skintsaint]

Dibling coming on, no doubt do something against Mansfield and the media goes wild.

[Osvaldorama]

Pym has been brilliant in goal for Grimsby

And he's playing five at the back when they're 2-0 down! And Grimsby with their 4-4-2 have just had another goal disallowed. Will Still are you watching?

[Saint NL]

Bah! Man United pull one back, 2-1 now

Good enough to be a 3rd choice keeper at Championship level...?

[CB Fry]

Man U keeper should be saving some Grimsby pens surely.

That's 3 now he's got his hand to and not kept out.

[Southner]

Scenes and limbs.

[trousers]

Man Utd out on pens 🤣🤣

[CB Fry]

Old school pitch invasion. Lovely stuff.

[Whitey Grandad]

Well done Grimsby. Tremendous spirit.

[S-Clarke]

Fully deserved, it's a shame they didn't hang on in real time. But they deserved to go through.

Utd in disarray. 

[HarvSFC]

The best of us get knocked out of the cup by Grimsby.

[macca155]

That's was great , just love a bit of Utd pain.

[Give it to Ron]

75m ? And you take the 9th penalty Sesko!

[Saint_lambden]

Sesko signed for £73m and hasn't got the bottle to take any of United's first NINE penalties against a League Two side 🤣

[Willo of Whiteley]

Man United are so tinpot

[Jimmy_D]

Ridiculous match!

10th. He was the last outfielder before the keeper.

Did the stewards try and stop it? Always funny when they realise they need to admit defeat

[Saint_lambden]

Imagine the embaressment of losing to Grimsby as a Premier League side!....

Man United’s Twitter account was funnier, celebrating the equaliser in MASSIVE CAPS!

Absolute scenes equalising against a team probably worth £1B less than yours and celebrating like winning the World Cup 😂

[Britannia]

What a funny evening.

[Osvaldorama]

Genuinely an incredible game. The type of game that makes you fall in love with football again. 
 

Grimsby fans must be absolutely buzzing. They were immense.

He seems to score the same goal every time

All more importantly, can the authorities just dock Leicester points already? It's a shambles.

All Championship Friday night games finish 1-1

Is surprising considering how desperate some PL teams seem and so many awash with cash. West Ham could definitely do with him. And Villa

[Osvaldorama]

Leicester are well under the cosh here. They’re not looking great yet

I just had a look through Leicester's team, there's not one player I'd take here apart from Fatawu. Skipp as a squad option perhaps but that's it. They'll get beaten a few times this season you'd think.

Including Ipswich-Saints which was meant to be the Friday night game but the premier league was more important.

2-0 Leicester but they've been really poor tbh.

Many teams are going to look poor when they play Birmingham

[Andy Hill]

Definitely need to see Leicester get a points deduction.  They look very strong at home though the ref has been awful.
