United falls into the FA Cup before visiting the Real Sociedad

Manchester United dismissed this Sunday of the FA Cup when he fell into fifth round against the Fulham in the penalty shootout that decided the tie in Old Trafford, while the Brighton advanced in the extension against the Newcastle (1-2).

Those of Ruben Amorim were left without one of the incentives in their poor season, current FA Cup champions and an affordable way to go to Europe that at the moment have very far with the Premier. The Fulham, who has never won a trophy, put two matches of the world’s oldest tournament final.

United had occasions but did not find the goal and saw each other from the 0-1 of Calvin Bassey in the first half. Bruno Fernandes forced at least the extension but the penalties decided, and there the ‘Red Devils’ Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee failed. The burning nail of the United campaign becomes a European League where they are measured on Thursday to the Royal Society in San Sebastián, in the round of 16.

After the meeting in Mercanters, the quarterfinals were raffled: Fulham-Crystal Palace, Preston-Aston Villa, Bournemouth-Manchester City and Ipswich or Nottingham Forest against a Brighton who also advanced this Sunday with the goal of Danny Welbeck in the extension (1-2) of a game with an expelled in each team.
