🌱Holders Manchester United bowed out after a 4-3 penalty shootout loss following a 1-1 draw after extra time. Bernd Leno saved from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee to send the visitors through. Calvin Bassey’s first-half stoppage-time header gave them the lead before Bruno Fernandes leveled in the 71st minute. Chido Obi came closest to a winner in extra time, but Leno’s heroics forced penalties.
