Ruud van Nistelrooy admitted football can be a cruel game sometimes after Manchester United enjoyed some luck in front of goal to comfortably see off Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
The Reds won 5-2 as Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both bagged doubles and Alejandro Garnacho also found the net.
It was an enjoyable occasion at Old Trafford and van Nistelrooy clearly relished a night to remember but admitted clearer chances were created, and missed, during the latter part of Erik ten Hag's reign.
Speaking to the official broadcasters, here are some of his comments.
