Maguire Strikes Late Equaliser as United Go to Wire at Grimsby
The Guardian
|August 28, 2025
"Oh when the Town go steaming in" seemed to be the Grimsby song that sweetly summed up what they were doing to Manchester United, until Harry Maguire's late headed equaliser took this breathless tie to penalties.
United were two down by the interval and appeared heading out after Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren first-half strikes had the 20-times English champions facing a humiliating oblivion from the League Cup. But a 75th-minute Bryan Mbeumo finish handed United a lifeline they grabbed, Maguire's stooping header squeezed in at the near post.
For Ruben Amorim this diced with being a disaster before the lottery of spot-kicks beckoned.
On a smooth green sward that allowed no excuse the XI Amorim sent out in search of an opening win of the campaign that showed eight changes. Alongside Mainoo, Benjamin Sesko, André Onana, Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte were other headline acts given first starts and who failed to quieten a rambunctious home fancy in a chastening 45 minutes.
Cameron McJannet's clatter on Amad Diallo that left the No 10 collapsed telegrammed what David Artell's team were about.
Artell had drilled his men to tap the ball about around halfway then up tempo to stampede at United. Or rush up to a man in red to squeeze them: precisely how they took the lead.
