Cristiano Ronaldo pictured consoling Anthony Elanga after teenager's missed penalty sends Manchester United crashing out of the FA Cup against Middlesbrough

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.
