Wrexham are into the third round of the Carabao Cup, but the same cannot be said of Manchester United after their defeat at Grimsby Town.
The Carabao Cup is treating Wrexham pretty well this season.
Wrexham roared back to knock out Hull City in the first round, with Swindon Town-bound Ollie Palmer coming off the bench to score twice late on.
Wrexham won that tie on penalties and were then handed a trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End.
Phil Parkinson again saw Wrexham fight back against PNE, coming from 2-1 down at half-time to win 3-2.
Wrexham have been handed a clash with Reading in the next round, but that is more than can be said for Manchester United.

Ex-Wrexham duo mastermind Manchester United downfall
Wednesday night brought a stunning result in the Carabao Cup, as Manchester United were beaten by League Two side Grimsby Town.
Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren had Grimsby 2-0 up before Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire dragged the game to penalties.
MORE WREXHAM STORIES
The Mariners held their nerve in the shootout, sending United packing ahead of the third-round draw.
Wrexham fans who watched the game may have seen a couple of familiar faces, as two former defenders masterminded Grimsby’s victory.
Grimsby boss David Artell played for Wrexham towards the end of his playing days, first joining on loan in 2013 before signing a permanent deal later in the year.
Artell played 41 games for Wrexham before leaving for Bala Town, and he has now enjoyed the biggest night of his managerial career by dumping United out.
Another former Wrexham man was right alongside him, as assistant coach Shaun Pearson aided the giant-killing.
Pearson serves as Artell’s right-hand man and was a real Wrexham fan favourite in his playing days, turning out more than 130 times for the club.
Pearson has praised Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds despite leaving the club early into their reign at the STōK Cae Ras.
The former defender will always be welcome back at Wrexham, and fans will certainly love seeing him enjoy such a monumental night, embarrassing United in the process.
Former Wrexham talent misses Manchester United stunner
Artell and Pearson enjoyed a dream night at Blundell Park, but another former Wrexham man missed out.
Defender Doug Tharme was unavailable through injury, missing out against United as a result.
Tharme came up in the Wrexham youth ranks, playing just seven times in the first team before heading to Curzon Ashton.
Now 26, the centre-back has worked his way up the leagues and has played more than 50 times for Grimsby.
Tharme missed out on the delight of beating United, but will hope to return to help Grimsby in round three against Sheffield Wednesday – and possibly tee up a fourth-round clash with Wrexham.
