De gea was right, we are cursed
He missed one penalty - but our finishing was awful. We can only blame ourselves.Refereeing was so bad in that match and a really nailed on penalty.
13 years ago today against Spurs in the league cup final.Chelsea ?
Probably would of missed the pen anywaysStill, a good match, against a normally excellent academy conveyor belt, and we were robbed by the ref in injury time.
No doubt about it. There’s no other way to describe it.De gea was right, we are cursed
We are jinxed.We are jinxed in shootouts
For Emeran. Laughable coaching.Shoretire should never have been subbed off
It boils my blood when people say that, and the MUTV gang says it every time.If I never see Utd in a penalty shoot out ever again, it'll be too soon! But some of the ones we're pretty awful even at U-23 level. And then the attitude that 'pens are a lottery'...no, they are not if you are losing virtually every one!

Gutted for them but they will have learnt a lot from that match
Behave. What a dumb thing to say after an excellent performance.You think? It's yet another loss for the club whether it's the Under 19s, the women or the first team losing becomes a habit and we are not showing any signs of changing that habit
Considering that we couldn't score a penalty to save our lives, I don't think it would have mattered really.Tweet

One thing that makes me hopefull is that both ETH and Poch love integrating youth players, so a lot of these lads are going to get their chance in the first team.I was really impressed by what I saw. Usually you’ve one or two shining lights at this level and a bunch of also rans but this team is absolutely stacked with very talented players. So many classy footballers. We were by far the better team tonight. Great stuff.
Two further thought. Penalty shoot-outs can get fecked. And is there any competition we haven’t been fecked over by absolutely dreadful refereeing decisions this season?!?
These are kids and most definitely will learn from the experience. The key for me is that we dominated Dortmund in every aspect and can see at least 4 or 5 of the players having a great chance of progressing to our first team- which is ultimately more important than a one off freak result!You think? It's yet another loss for the club whether it's the Under 19s, the women or the first team losing becomes a habit and we are not showing any signs of changing that habit
