Ferguson blames Nani for cup exit
Nani 25, surrendered the ball in the dying stages as United led 3-2 on Wednesday night. Chelsea then made their way to goal and won the penalty that sent the match into extra time.
Despite scoring United's third goal to give them the lead, Nani came under heavy fire from Ferguson for his costly error.
"We gave the ball away for the third goal having been in complete control of the match at that point"
Ferguson said, "All we needed to do was see the game out with good possession. Nani is experienced but he's a player who wants to beat men and I often discourage him from that. In that situation, if we'd kept the ball at the corner flag, the game's over.
"We had a lot of attacks and nothing came of them, and their counter-attack was very good, but if you're winning 3-2 in the final seconds of the game then you should see it out. We've only got ourselves to blame really".
That's the opinion of a true expert but coming very late.
