I think it's high time I stop watching Manchester United games, we lost this game as a result of Ronaldo not scoring the penalty.
Although we created something good but failed to score, a lot of improvement needs to be done in the goal scoring.
Taking us to the penalties and winning in the process is useless, how can Manchester United have two goalie's that can't afford to catch penalties? It's embarrassing to see such!

I do not agree. Not winning the match can't just be Cristiano Ronaldo's fault. In the past, Manchester United won many matches only thanks to Ronaldo. Football is a team game. If 11 people play well, you win, if 11 people play badly, you lose. Ronaldo was not good in this match, but it would be unfair to talk about losing the match only with Ronaldo. It was just an unlucky match for Manchester United. In football, there is winning and losing.

apart from Manchester United games I see every top team is not really serious with the FA Cup, only for lower-middle teams are serious about lowering the main squad and the best formation scheme. Big team defeats in the FA are commonplace and it's as if this defeat is not a big deal, In fact, this defeat gives a fortune for them because it reduces their busy schedule and gives them more time to focus on important games on league or UCL.

Yes true. We can even say that their defeat in the FA Cup gives them a very good advantage for their forward fixtures. That's why they don't want to compress their main squad with the matches of the FA Cup. That's why regular defeats might work for these teams. This is a long standing system. Maybe there can be such a surprise in the Manchester City-Fulham game today.
