David Moyes was not too happy after watching his side get knocked out of the Capital One cup by Sunderland in the semi final, admitting that United were terrible at penalties.
Sunderland may have lost the game 2-1, but that only made the aggregate score 3-3 and after ten penalties, only three ended up in the net and the Black Cats won 2-1.
United’s Danny Welbeck and Phil Jones both put the ball well wide of the target while Adnan Januzaj and Rafael da Silva saw their penalties saved by Sunderland hero Vito Mannone.
Moyes told reporters: ‘It went to penalties and our penalties were terrible.’
He added : ‘We talked within the group and these were the players who chose to, as a team we made a decision together who would take the penalty kicks.
‘Ideally, it wouldn’t have been the group we had. Chicharito [Hernandez] would have taken a penalty but was injured and people like Michael Carrick would have been involved.’
Darren Fletcher was the only United player to score from the spot.
