Manchester United reportedly make a decision over whether to lodge an appeal against their EFL Cup exit.
Last Wednesday, Ruben Amorim's side suffered embarrassment versus the League Two outfit who prevailed from their second-round tie courtesy of a penalty shootout.
The Portuguese and his players have since received widespread criticism over one of the biggest upsets in their illustrious history.
However, it emerged on Tuesday that Grimsby had breached competition regulations through fielding an ineligible player.
While Clarke Oduor was registered after his loan move from Bradford City, it came one minute 59 seconds after the set deadline.
Grimsby have since been fined £20,000 for fielding an ineligible player, Odour having been introduced as a 73rd-minute substitute at Blundell Park.

Man United learn appeal process
As it stands, that will remain the extent of Grimsby's punishment and they will be allowed to progress through to a third-round tie at Sheffield Wednesday.
According to BBC Sport, United had the option to appeal the verdict if they press ahead with that intention over the next five days.
As per Sky Sports News, the Red Devils hierarchy have no intention of seeking further punishment or a reprieve in the competition.
Therefore, Man United will only have Premier League fixtures on their schedule for the remainder of 2025.
