Manchester United, who made eleven changes to the team that beat Chelsea at the weekend, were dumped out of the League Cup last night by Coventry.
Sir Alex Ferguson has no complaints, and criticised the performance.
“We couldn’t ever have believed that performance tonight,” he said.
“We’ve been trumping the youngsters for over a year now, so it’s a bit disappointing.
“They didn’t enjoy the battle in the first half. They were second to every ball.
“Full marks to Coventry. That’s what you expect. They won every ball.
“It was a very, very efficient performance and they deserved to win.”
