23s ago 17.39 EDT And that’s all from me. Stay tuned for news of the draw, which is expected to happen … um … sometime vaguely soonish? Bye! Share4m ago 17.36 EDT Grimsby manager David Artell: 'United are on the right track, you can see that' David Artell has a chat with ITV. He is only vaguely coherent at times, perfectly understandably. But he’s quite kind to Ruben Amorim. I said to them before the shootout started, it’s a technical thing, it’s a psychological thing. Their techniques are fine. You’re going to feel nervous walking up, butterflies, all the rest of it, don’t worry about that. This is the accumulation of 15 months, 18 months, all in one night. Look, they’re an unbelievable team. They’ve got an unbelievable manager, and they’re on the right track. You can see that. But we’ve got an unbelievable group of players as well. Share12m ago 17.27 EDT Grimsby’s Kieran Green has a chat: We went 2-0 up and everyone was probably a bit surprised to be in that situation. I know they’ve come back but we’d have took 2-2 going into the death. Them getting the equaliser at the end, we’re the team winning at that point because we’d have took that. Before the shootout the gaffer said, ‘Lads, all the pressure is on them.’ And it was, really. Share15m ago 17.25 EDT John Brewin, meanwhile, saw Rangers get a royal whupping in Bruges: Sunday’s Old Firm derby will see two Europa League teams meet. If Celtic have deep regrets over misfires in Kazakhstan, Rangers suffered a night of near-historic shame in Belgium, utterly incapable of recovering from the first leg performance. By contrast to this horror show, that night of blunder was a creditable showing. Russell Martin’s team made it so simple for an admittedly high-class Brugge side.

First, Andy Hunter was at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to watch Everton edge out Mansfield: The first game under the lights at Hill Dickinson Stadium was illuminated by Carlos Alcaraz’s fine finish and the promise of Harrison Armstrong. Everton’s cutting edge may remain a concern for David Moyes in the long term but a potentially awkward tie was eventually navigated in straightforward fashion. Alcaraz broke the deadlock against Nigel Clough’s resolute League One side with an excellent strike from 20 yards. Armstrong, who spent last season on loan at Derby, was the provider and also created Everton’s late second for Beto as Moyes’ team made it two wins from two at their new home.

Speaking to people there, learning about his impact on that team, he seemed like precisely the kind of character United needed as they seek to return to some kind of sporting relevance. Perhaps not. Share23m ago 17.17 EDT Grimsby Town have won! Penalty shootout: Grimsby 12-11 Manchester United Bryan Mbeumo sends his second penalty of the shootout into the crossbar, and it’s bedlam at Blundell Park! There are some people on the pitch! They think it’s all over! Which, to be fair, it is. View image in fullscreen Bryan Mbeumo hits the bar!

Share25m ago 17.15 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 11-11 Manchester United Bruno Fernandes isn’t going to be the one to mess up, that’s for sure. Share26m ago 17.14 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 11-10 Manchester United Kabia sidefoots into the right half of goal, which Onana helpfully vacates. Share26m ago 17.14 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 10-10 Manchester United Pym goes early again, making Onana’s task easy. So back to the beginning. Share26m ago 17.13 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 10-9 Manchester United This is just madness. Pym converts coolly! View image in fullscreen You just love to see it.

Now for the keepers! Share27m ago 17.12 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 9-8 Manchester United Tyrell Warren with the 17th successful penalty of the night. We keep going. Share28m ago 17.11 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 8-8 Manchester United Pym decides that De Ligt is going down the middle, and doesn’t move an inch as the ball flies about a yard to his left. Share29m ago 17.11 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 8-7 Manchester United Evan Khouri puts enough power on his penalty to get it past Onana, who gets a hand to it. Share29m ago 17.10 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 7-7 Manchester United Harry Maguire’s penalty is having absolutely no nonsense. Thumped in, no messing. Seven apiece. Share30m ago 17.09 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 7-6 Manchester United Jayden Sweeney takes a fine penalty, Onana goes the wrong way again, and now Harry Maguire must score. Share31m ago 17.09 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 6-6 Manchester United Kobbie Mainoo’s penalty is probably the best yet, finding the top right corner of the net. Onwards! Share32m ago 17.08 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 6-5 Manchester United Geza David Turi goes low to his left, and Grimsby have a slender advantage once more. Share33m ago 17.07 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 5-5 Manchester United That, to be fair, is an extremely good penalty. Pym has absolutely no chance, particularly given that he was over on the completely opposite side of goal. Share33m ago 17.06 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 5-4 Manchester United Cameron McJannet squirts his shot just beyond Onana’s dive, and now Joshua Zirkzee has to score! Share34m ago 17.06 EDT He can't! Penalty shootout: Grimsby 4-4 Manchester United Pym stands up this time, and Cunha waits for him to commit himself, sees that he hasn’t, has to kick the ball anyway and doesn’t do it very well! View image in fullscreen Matheus Cunha fluffs his lines! Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images Share Updated at 17.09 EDT35m ago 17.05 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 4-4 Manchester United Henry Brown powers his shot low and just out of Onana’s grasp (diving to his right this time). Now can Cunha win it? Share35m ago 17.04 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 3-4 Manchester United Diogo Dalot’s run-up is a little concerning, but again Pym commits himself extremely early and you can’t really do that and hope to save anything. Share36m ago 17.03 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 3-3 Manchester United An excellent, calm penalty from Reece Staunton. Onana seems to like diving to his left a lot more than he likes diving to his right. Share37m ago 17.03 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 2-3 Manchester United And Mason Mount strokes home to give the Premier League side the advantage! Share37m ago 17.02 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 2-2 Manchester United Clarke Oduor misses! It’s an excellent save from Onana, who touches the ball onto the bar!

The rest is a formality. Share39m ago 17.00 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 2-1 Manchester United Darragh Burns’ penalty is Fernandesesque, slotted low to his left while Onana goes the wrong way. Share40m ago 17.00 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 1-1 Manchester United Bruno Fernandes sends Christy Pym the wrong way before stroking into the bottom left corner. Share41m ago 16.59 EDT Penalty shootout: Grimsby 1-0 Manchester United It’s not a great penalty, and Onana goes the right way, but he gives it enough welly that it flies in off the keeper’s hand.
