The United team came back from two goals down but unfortunately could not avoid disappointment as Bryan Mbeumo failed to convert the decisive penalty.
The fans and players of Grimsby celebrated the victory into the early hours of the morning.
But that does not end the team's humor: Their social media continues to entertain fans with their jokes about United.
Before the League Two game against Bristol Rovers, they humorously announced the lineup by mimicking a famous moment with United manager Ruben Amorim trying to handle the tactics board.
Even the local fish shop decided to tease the Premier League team by adding over the menu: “Cod, Coley, Manchester United (all fried).”

A fourth expressed: “Grimsby is really enjoying their triumph over United.”
Another added: “Honestly, this is the most significant moment in your history.”

Numerous images of Ruben Amorim playing with the tactics board surfaced on social media.
Among them were images of him drawing on an Etch A Sketch, as well as moments where he played popular children’s board games like 'Guess Who?' and 'Operation.'
Thus, Grimsby Town not only achieved a significant victory but also became a star on social media thanks to its humorous trolling. Although Manchester United stands at the top of football, Grimsby seems to have found a way to enjoy its moment of glory, emphasizing that football is not just about wins but also about humor and friendly competition.
