GRIMSBY, England :Ruben Amorim apologised to Manchester United supporters after his reign reached a new low with a humiliating elimination from the League Cup by fourth-tier Grimsby Town on Wednesday.

United appeared to have got out of jail at Blundell Park when Harry Maguire's 89th-minute header made it 2-2 after they had trailed 2-0 with a woeful first-half display.

But a marathon penalty shootout ended 12-11 in Grimsby's favour after new signing Bryan Mbeumo, who had begun United's fightback, saw his spot kick bounce back off the crossbar.

Grimsby were deserved winners as they outplayed their illustrious guests at times and were more up for the fight.
