FA Cup: Rangnick blames Fernandes, others for Man United’s elimination

 


Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United's interim manager, has criticised his players, especially Bruno Fernandes, for their FA Cup shock defeat to Middlesbrough on Friday.

Rangnick blamed his team for their goal-scoring ineptness against Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.

Man United was knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties after losing 8-7 against Middlesbrough.

After the match ended in a 1-1 draw, Anthony Elanga missed the final penalty in their defeat to Middlesbrough.

"We gave up too many chances, particularly in the first half," Rangnick stated after the game in his post-match press conference.

"After 45 minutes, we should and could have easily been up 3-0, and even in the second half, we squandered some wonderful opportunities, even after they were created."

“But Bruno’s chance was almost like a penalty as well, so we’ve to blame ourselves for giving away and wasting too many opportunities in the game.

“And, in the end, if it is on penalties, it’s also a question of luck and in the end, we lost that game and we’re all incredibly disappointed.”
