Last week, Manchester United was eliminated from the League Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
They were sensationally defeated in a penalty shootout by Grimsby Town, a fourth division team. In the Grimsby team, player Clark Oduor came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute.
It later became known that this player was registered one minute past the deadline. Theoretically, the match could have been replayed or Grimsby could have been given a technical defeat.
However, the English Football League fined the League Two team. This was reported by The Telegraph.
Manchester United is preparing for the derby against Manchester City in the next round of the Premier League. This incident was considered an unexpected situation in English football and served as a warning lesson for the teams.
The importance of strict adherence to football rules was once again confirmed.
