Man Utd player ratings: Poor performances and no room left for excuses in Grimsby defeat

Manchester United crashed out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by League Two Grimsby after a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes.

The home side took the lead when Charles Vernam’s effort beat Andre Onana at his near post, and the United goalkeeper committed another error just eight minutes later as he failed to deal with a cross before Tyrell Warren bundled the ball home.

United introduced Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo at half time and the latter handed United a lifeline with his first goal for the club. Harry Maguire headed United level in the 89th minute.

Clarke Oduor and Matheus Cunha missed in the penalty shootout to send it to sudden death. Mbeumo missed the decisive penalty as Grimsby won the shootout 12-11.

Andre Onana

Came back into the side and was culpable for both goals. Flimsy and gettable, he is playing his way out of the club. Great save in the shootout and scored. 5

Tyler Fredricson

A boy among men. Grimsby targeted him repeatedly and Fredricson was devoid of a senior teammate to help him out. Substituted at half-time. 2

Harry Maguire

Reclaimed the captain’s armband and rediscovered his old, bad form. Unsettled from the start and could not shore United up. But scored another big goal. 7

Ayden Heaven

Lacked composure and too casual amid the blood and thunder of a League Two ground. Seemed to underestimate Grimsby. 4

Diogo Dalot

Dismal at both ends. Failed to protect Fredricson and failed to provide adequate service in the final third. Scored in the shootout. 4

Manuel Ugarte

Demanded a foul in the build-up to Grimsby’s first goal. People at the club are giving up on him and you can see why. Not up to it. Hooked at the interval. 2

Kobbie Mainoo

The best of a bad bunch in the first half but prone to careless errors with the ball. Not a performance to play his way back into the side but great penalty. 6

Patrick Dorgu

Played kick-and-rush. Playing by default amid the absence of an established left winger and getting found out weekly. 2

Amad

Cowed early on and fortunate to emerge for the second half. Did not get anywhere all night. 3

Matheus Cunha

For the first time in a United shirt, failed to impose himself against the weakest opponent. Tried without succeeding. Dreadful penalty. 4

Benjamin Sesko

Out of kilter with his new teammates for most of the evening but came closest to scoring in the first half. Slotted in his penalty. 5

Subs

Bruno Fernandes

Brought some much-needed authority to United’s play. 6

Matthijs de Ligt

Actually appeared capable of defending. 6

Bryan Mbeumo

Scored his first goal for the club. Missed the decisive penalty. 6

Mason Mount

Gamely occupied the left wing. Crossed for Maguire to score. 7

Joshua Zirkzee

Imbecilic foul but scored a penalty in sudden death. 6

Manager

Amorim’s body language has never looked worse. He picked a strong enough team but United regressed egregiously. Mbeumo came on to score and fellow substitute Mount assisted Maguire. 5
