United 0 - 1 Leeds

United can talk about two penalty shouts turned down, but the long and the short of this FA Cup tale is that the Reds just weren’t good enough in attack against a determined Leeds side who took their opportunity when it came.

The troublesome Jermaine Beckford scored after 19 minutes for the visitors, and although the Reds huffed and puffed, Sir Alex Ferguson's men couldn't blow the house down. Hardly the circumstances under which we’d like to have Leeds back at our place.

Sir Alex went for his usual cup balance of youth and experience, notably with a brand new - and young-looking - midfield compared to the one that played against Wigan: Gabriel Obertan (20), Darron Gibson (22), Anderson (21) and Danny Welbeck (19).

    Well, despite the United website's review of the game, most fans know that it was a poor selection and yet another goalkeeping error...striker has a terrible first touch and is going wide, sure, rush out and make the angle for him to score, great idea.

    Top of the transfer rumours...new keeper, and you can see why!

    Its better to lose now than later.  Save you time & energy. The FA Cup I rather United lose or win than draw!!!  The only set back is Vidic.  MU's defence is in real bad shape!!!  Looks like LUCK has deserted MU.
