‚They sent us off the face of the earth‘ complain Man Utd fans after Grimsby shared a cheeky post on X minutes after KO.

Grimsby's victory over Manchester United

According to The Sun: Manchester United fans were unhappy after a cheeky social media post from Grimsby Town.

The second-division team knocked out the six-time League Cup champions in an exciting penalty shootout.

Grimsby maintained their lead after conceding two goals, leading to the penalty shootout.

Thanks to saved penalties by Kritti Paim and a missed shot by Brian Mbeumo, Grimsby achieved an incredible victory.

Fans were thrilled with the success and celebrated their victory on the field.

Other football fans, including Everton and Mansfield supporters, joined the celebration in Liverpool.

Fans' reaction

Grimsby's social media team also decided to have a bit of fun on platform X.

They shared a funny image with the caption "You just got slapped by a fish" and a photo of a photoshopped fish in striped jerseys.

This post echoed a viral image of a chicken created by Bradford fans.

Manchester United fans just complained, admitting that they are being "bendered off the face of the earth."

“Yeah, alright Grimsby, alright.”

“We deserved it.”

“This is just humiliating.”

“Grimsby Town just turned Manchester United into Manchester Un-fried.”

“Now they shot us off the face of the Earth.”

This is probably one of the biggest defeats for United since losing to York in the 1995/96 season.

At that time, the team led by Sir Alex Ferguson suffered a 3:0 defeat to York at Old Trafford.

Grimsby had the chance to play in the third round of the League Cup against Sheffield United at the famous Hillsborough stadium.

This victory for Grimsby was a true triumph, as the second-division team showed that even small clubs can create upsets in large tournaments. Fans celebrate this event as a moment of pride, and the victory has become a symbol of their team's rise.

Despite the dissatisfaction of Manchester United fans, Grimsby's performance will remind everyone of the spirit of football and competition.
