Middlesbrough vs:
Ralf Rangnick claimed Manchester United were robbed by VAR after his side suffered a shock FA Cup exit at the hands of Championship club Middlesbrough who won 8-7 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Friday.
Rangnick’s team crashed out in the fourth round after Anthony Elanga blazed his spot-kick over the bar in a nerve-jangling shoot-out at Old Trafford. Swedish teenager Elanga was the only player from either team to miss in the shoot-out, leaving the forward holding his head in disbelief as Middlesbrough celebrated their stunning victory.
Jadon Sancho had put United ahead in the first half, but Matt Crooks grabbed a controversial equaliser after the interval to set the stage for Middlesbrough’s memorable upset.
Middlesbrough Prediction:
Crooks’ goal was allowed to stand despite Duncan Watmore controlling the ball with his hand before providing the assist. “We conceded a goal which I don’t understand why it stood. He controlled it with his hand,” Rangnick said.
“In the moment when they scored, it was clear that VAR would not allow this goal to stand.” Even Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder thought the goal would be ruled out, saying: “I thought straight away it was handball.
United lost on penalties in Gdansk, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho failed to convert at Wembley and Anthony Elanga was the latest youngster to be overcome by numbness at Old Trafford on Friday night. The defeat was far from Elanga’s fault, but that was lost on the 19-year-old. He looked distraught after the final whistle. Elanga couldn’t have felt more alone in front of 70,000 people.
