DEPRESSED DEVILS

LONDON. − Manchester United’s flops returned to training looking glum after the most embarrassing defeat of their careers.

The Red Devils crashed out on penalties to League Two side Grimsby the first time they have ever been eliminated by a fourth-tier side in a huge giant-killing on Wednesday.

United had gone 2-0 down inside 30 minutes, with Andre Onana putting in possibly his worst ever showing in goal, before a second-half fightback through Brayn Mbeumo and Harry Maguire’s goals.

But it was ultimately all for nought as they lost on penalties 12-11, with new signings Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo missing from 12 yards.

And the weight of their defeat to a club 58 places lower than them in the English football pyramid appeared to be weighing heavily on them as they arrived at Carrington the following morning.

Boss Ruben Amorim whose survival odds have been slashed by the bookies as his horror tenure continues was seen back at base at 7AM.

The rest of United’s multi-million pound disappointments followed suit and had all checked in at the new-look facility after a £50million facelift was completed this summer by 11am.

Many of them turned up in luxury branded cars, including Ranger Rover, Jaguar, Porsche, Aston Martin and Cadillac. − The Sun
