  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  With United struggling to get into the winning habit, they fluffed their lines again when facing League Two opposition. Said contest could have been over in 90 minutes, with Grimsby racing into a two-goal lead courtesy of some questionable goalkeeping from Andre Onana.

  The Mariners also had efforts disallowed before seeing Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire complete a late comeback for United that forced the tie into a penalty shootout. An epic battle of nerves from 12 yards eventually finished 12-11 in favour of the hosts – with Mbeumo crashing the decisive spot-kick against the crossbar.
