Grimsby vs Man Utd prediction

Former Crewe Alexandra boss Dave Artell is in charge of an impressive Grimsby Town side. The Mariners have been entertaining to watch this season as they come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Accrington Stanley, with sensation Jaze Kabia scoring yet again for Grimsby. They remain unbeaten after five matches in League Two.

They now face a Manchester United side that are already under pressure with Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils starting with a 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal at Old Trafford before a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. United have shown an improvement in their performance level, but they will need to put in a convincing display here.

It is League Two vs Premier League, but Grimsby will likely try and exploit the gaps left in the United defence. United should win comfortably, but don’t count Grimsby out of bloodying the nose of England’s fallen giants.
