All the pressure will be on the Red Devils as Ruben Amorim's side have made a winless start to the new season. The visitors are in real need of a confidence-boosting victory to get going and will be desperate to avoid a slip-up.

Grimsby, meanwhile, are just a point off the top of the League Two table after an unbeaten start to 2025/26, which has included a 3-1 victory against Shrewsbury in the last round of the Carabao Cup.

The pair have not met since a 1-1 draw in Division One in 1948, while Man Utd's last win at Blundell Park came 120 years ago.
