Luke Matheson has helped cause a stunning upset at Old Trafford as Rochdale have forced Manchester United into penalties in their League Cup clash.
The Red Devils fielded a relatively strong starting XI and were unable to break the deadlock in the first half.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men took the lead in the second half thanks to United starlet Mason Greenwood, who found space on the right before cutting in and firing a low finish into the net.
Rochdale continued to fight back against United and pulled back an equaliser through Matheson.
The 16-year-old pounced on a looped ball near the back post and smashed it home to send the match into penalties.
Juan Mata stepped up first for United and buried the ball into the back of the net.
