Manchester United’s dismal season hit a new low as the FA Cup holders crashed out after a 3-4 penalty shoot-out defeat against Fulham in the fifth round on Sunday. Ruben Amorim’s side trailed to Calvin Bassey’s first-half opener at Old Trafford before Bruno Fernandes equalised to force a 1-1 draw after extra time. Fulham keeper Bernd Leno was the hero in the shoot-out as he saved from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee, with the visitors converting all four of their kicks. 

Booed off at half-time, it was another wretched result for United in a season that sees them languishing in 14th place in the Premier League. The 13-time FA Cup winners had reached the final for the last two seasons and beat Manchester City to lift the trophy last year. But there will be no trip to Wembley this season for the Red Devils, who have only the Europa League left to compete for.
