Manchester United went out of the FA Cup after losing the penalty shoot-outs when 120 minutes of football could not separate Manchester United and Everton in last evening's FA Cup Semi-final match. Rio Ferdinand and Dimitar Berbatov could not convert their penalty kicks, handing Everton the ticket to play Chelsea in the FA CUp final on 30 May. Manchester United fielded a slightly weaker team, by starting with many youngsters, including Danny Welbeck, the da Silva boys and highly-rated youngster Frederico Macheda. Many people regarded that as a tactical mistake by Sir Alex Ferguson, but I think Sir Alex Ferguson is eyeing the bigger prizes in the English and European football. Manchester United still has seven Premier League games to play, including a home game against in-form Arsenal. The next game will be against Portsmouth in three days' time. Manchester United is also in the semi-finals of the European Champions League, against, Arsenal.
I am not too cheesed off that Manchester United is not in the FA Cup final. As I said, there are bigger prizes in store and they should be won at all cost!
