Ruben Amorim defended Andre Onana after Manchester United’s shock Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town on Wednesday night.

United were left stunned at Blundell Park as the League Two side were two goals ahead by half time following two mistakes from Onana.

The Cameroon international was beaten at his near post for Charles Vernam’s opener and completely missed the ball from a corner which allowed Tyrell Warren to double Grimsby’s lead.

Bryan Mbeumo, brought on as a half-time substitute, scored to give United a lifeline before Harry Maguire equalised in the 89th minute.

The tie went straight to penalties and after a dramatic lengthy shootout, Grimsby won 12-11 with Mbuemo missing the crucial spot kick in sudden death.
