Middlesbrough upset Man United in FA Cup

Manchester United have been knocked out of the FA Cup in the fourth round by Championship side Middlesbrough on penalties after wasting a sackful of chances in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

The hosts paid for their profligacy in a tense shoot-out when, after the first 15 penalties had all been scored, United's Anthony Elanga blazed over to send 9,000 Boro fans wild.

Jadon Sancho's 25th-minute goal, shortly after Cristiano Ronaldo had missed a penalty, was scant reward for United's dominance with Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford both culpable of failing to take golden chances.

Boro kept themselves in the tie, however, and equalised in the 64th minute when former United youth player Matt Crooks converted from close range.

Bruno Fernandes somehow struck the post with the goal gaping soon after and United then battered away at Boro's defence in extra time all to no avail.

Boro then showed incredible poise with their penalties to send the 12-time FA Cup winners tumbling out.

Middlesbrough's former United player Paddy McNair described the Championship side's win as "unbelievable".

McNair, who spent five years at United before leaving in 2016, told ITV: "I thought we started the first half quite slow and second half I thought we played really well.

"I thought Duncan (Watmore) played really well when he came on and gave us something different up front. I think we deserved the win.

"To take them to penalties, it was a great way to finish it. It was unbelievable."
