Manchester United great Roy Keane blasted their FA Cup elimination at the hands of Middlesbrough last night.
United failed to make the most of a whole host of glorious opportunities throughout 120 minutes of action at Old Trafford, with Matt Crooks' equaliser taking the Premier League giants to penalty with scores tied at 1-1.
The Championship outfit kept their cool from 12 yards, with all eight of their penalties put past Dean Henderson into the net at the Stretford End, before Anthony Elanga fired over to seal United's elimination from the competition.
"Over the last couple of home matches they have only scored one goal and one obviously again tonight," he said on ITV Sport. "I was talking about Man United finding a way to win the game but what did they do, they found a way to lose the game. That's not a good sign.
"You have to be critical of United. First half fantastic, but they are playing a Championship team. To lose to a Championship team at home in the Cup, it's obviously not good enough.
"Of course, Middlesbrough were going to come with a bit of pressure in the second half, but you control it.
"Even with the goal they conceded, they were outnumbered, players weren't getting back, and that's where I go back to it, you need a bit of leadership, the character to go 'Ok we have dropped off for 10 or 15 minutes but we are still up against Middlesbrough, we'll still slip back in and find a moment'.
"But Fernandes's miss there, he has to score, there is no logic to that miss, he has got to hit the target."
