HUMILIATED: Louis van Gaal could only look on in horror as Manchester United were dumped out of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night, losing 4-0 to League One outfit MK Dons.

Will Grigg and Benik Afobe scored two goals apiec
as a young Red Devils side were humbled in the
League Cup second round to leave the Dutchman
still without a victory
Louis van Gaal is still yet to pick up a win as
Manchester United boss after a shock 4-0 defeat t
MK Dons in the League Cup second round.
Van Gaal picked a mixture of inexperienced young
players and those on the fringes of his squad,
including Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez, Shinji
Kagawa and Anderson.
But a Jonny Evans error allowed Will Grigg to open
the scoring in the first half, sweeping the ball past
David de Gea from close range.
With United chasing an equaliser after the interval,
Grigg made it 2-0 with a clever chested finish from
an excellent Ben Reeves cross and it was Arsenal
loanee Benik Afobe who came off the bench to
secure the victory with two goals to mark an
historic night for the home side.
The last time that United entered the competition at
this phase, in 1995, they suffered the ignominy of
losing a two-legged tie 4-3 to York City - including
a 3-0 reverse at Old Trafford - and memories of
such embarrassment were brought back to the for
as MK Dons outworked and, most damningly, out-
passed their illustrious opponents to secure a
famous triumph.
A United team loaded with players determined to
catch Van Gaal's eye started confidently as Danny
Welbeck, in particular, caused problems. The
visitors' endeavour almost brought immediate
reward, Nick Powell curling just over the crossbar.
MK Dons came back into the game, although their
possession was not producing opportunities.
However, Karl Robinson's men were gifted an
opener in the 25th minute by an Evans howler. The
centre-back's pass from defence was intercepted
by Reeves, whose simple ball left Grigg with the
easiest of taps-in.
That seemed to knock the wind out of United's sail
although Powell threatened to reinvigorate his side
when firing just wide from range with the outside of
his foot.
Things almost went from bad to worse after the
interval, when MK Dons were denied a penalty
when Evans appeared to have handled in the area,
but United could not take advantage of that break,
Welbeck curling a powerful effort just wide of the
post.
And their misery was compounded in the 63rd
minute, Reeves and Grigg combining again in a fine
move that ended with the latter cleverly chesting
home his team-mate's perfect left-wing cross.
Any thoughts of a United revival were snuffed out
by Grigg's replacement, Afobe, who then slid home
easily after being picked out by Danny Green.
James Wilson almost levelled, United's first shot on
target coming in the 72nd minute when David Marti
produced a superb one-handed save to deny the
highly rated striker's 20-yard strike.
Adnan Januzaj rattled the post but, if anything, Van
Gaal's side were lucky not to lose by more with
David de Gea forced to turn away Dean Lewington'
cross.
Relief at that quickly turned to further despair,
however, as Afobe bundled his way into the box an
volleyed home to create a scarcely believable
scoreline.
Hope continued to come in the shape of Wilson,
whose header again forced Martin into an excellent
save, although that was scant consolation for Van
Gaal.
