Manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not hold back in criticising his players as Manchester United were dumped out of the FA Cup by League One side Leeds. Ferguson said Leeds had deserved the victory as their rivals won 1-0 in a big upset at Old Trafford.
"I didn't expect that performance, it was shocking. I've no complaints about the result," said Ferguson. But he did complain about the lack of injury time added, describing the five minutes as "an insult to the game".
He questioned referee Chris Foy's timekeeping and stated: "That is an insult to the game and the players out there. Beckford's 19th-minute goal was enough to secure Leeds a famous victory at Old Trafford - their first since 1981 - but Ferguson was frustrated at his team's overall display.
He picked a side including the likes of Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov, while Nemanja Vidic was injured in the warm up. The less experienced Danny Wellbeck and Fabio da Silva were also on show.
