Grimsby vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips: 9/2 Carabao Cup Round Two Treble

Manchester United face League Two side Grimsby in the Carabao Cup second round on Wednesday, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 9/2 bet builder.

On the hunt for their first competitive victory of the campaign, Manchester United travel to Lincolnshire to take on League Two high flyers Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup second round.

Thus far this term, the Red Devils have lost 1-0 vs Arsenal and drawn 1-1 vs Fulham. They are one of eight Premier League sides yet to record a victory and find themselves down in 16th place.

Ruben Amorim is expected to make several changes for the trip to Blundell Park, with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Andre Onana set to start. Marquee summer signing Benjamin Sesko may also come into the lineup to make his full debut for the club.

Manchester United head into the game as overwhelming 1/7 favourites with football betting sites. Grimsby can be backed to seal a shock victory at around 11/1.

The Mariners, currently occupying fourth place in the fourth tier table, are unbeaten so far in 2025-26. David Artell’s side have recorded three wins and two draws in the league and beat fellow League Two side Shrewsbury Town 3-1 in the Carabao Cup first round.

Manchester United to Win Both Halves @ 11/10

Facing opposition three tiers below them in the English football pyramid, Manchester United have an excellent opportunity to seal their first victory of the campaign.

Amorim will demand a professional performance to ease the pressure that has already started to mount after a slow start.

Anything less than a convincing win would only intensify the scrutiny on his position, with Jose Mourinho favoured in the next Manchester United manager odds market.

That said, the disparity in quality between both sets of squads should shine through here.

With that in mind, we expect United to assert their dominance from the first whistle and are backing them to prevail in both halves at a price of around 11/10.

Joshua Zirkzee to Score at Any Time @ 21/20

Our second tip is to back Joshua Zirkzee to score at any time, priced at around 21/20.

The Dutchman endured a frustrating debut campaign at Old Trafford last term, recording just seven goals and three assists in 49 appearances across all competitions.

Yet with United facing lower-league opposition here, and Amorim set to make numerous changes to his starting XI, this looks like a real opportunity for him to get off the mark in 2025-26.

Benjamin Sesko – Over 1.5 Shots on Target @ 4/6

Sesko has arrived at Manchester United with a big reputation after a strong season with RB Leipzig, where he notched 21 goals and six assists in 45 games across all competitions.

He hasn’t yet started a game for the Red Devils, featuring from the bench in their opening two Premier League games of 2025-26, however he’s expected to be in from the off at Blundell Park.

Facing off against lower-league opponents, the Slovenian should be afforded plenty of chances.

Averaging over two shots per 90 in the Bundesliga last term, we believe that there’s a strong possibility Sesko registers at least two shots on target here.

You can back Sesko to have over 1.5 shots on target at around 4/6 with leading bookmakers.
