Breaking news: As Ralf Ragnick and ronaldo sends a clear message to Elenga after missing a crucial penalty against Middlesbrough in the shootout.
Cristiano Ronaldo was pictured consoling
Manchester United youngster Anthony
Elanga, after the Swedish teenager missed
a penalty against Middlesbrough.
The Red Devils were knocked out of
the FA Cup by Chris Wilder's side on
penalties after Elanga's spot-kick miss
gave Boro an 8-7 shootout victory,
following a 1-1 draw in regulated time.
Looking dejected after his miss, Elanga
was quickly swarmed on by United team
-mates as well as Ronaldo, who seemed
to offer the youngster some advice.
Ronaldo missed a spot-kick of his
own earlier in the game when the score
was 0-0, but smashed home his penalty
in the shootout.
Elanga was the 16th taker after every
single Man United and Middlesbrough
player buried their penalty's in the back
of the net.
The Swedish teen was Ralf Rangnick's
eighth penalty taker, meaning it had come
down to players who do not initially put
themselves forward.
Ralf Rangnick and Bruno Fernandes were
pictured consoling Elanga after the
crucial moment and he will need the
team to rally around him now.
The miss will come as a real blow to the
19-year-old, who has recently made a
name for himself in the first-team with
impressive performances in their
Premier League games.
The Swede scored his first league goal
in United's 3-1 away win against Brentford
last month and has featured in every
game since.
