Gary Neville explains main reason he is "demoralised" by Manchester United FA Cup exit

Gary Neville has admitted he was particularly disappointed by Manchester United's defeat to Leicester City due to the fact that they would have faced Southampton in the semi-finals with a victory. The Red Devils were beaten by the Foxes on Sunday, with the Europa League remaining the only competition where they could win a trophy this season. “I know he has been doing that, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (rotating), but this was a real chance," Neville said. "You think about the semi-final draw that occurred at half-time in that game, which meant the winner played Southampton. "It's not a gimme against Southampton in the semi-final by any stretch of the imagination but what an opportunity. And I do think believe that a group of players need to win a trophy under Solskjaer. "Yes, of course, finishing second would be the priority at the start of the season and winning a trophy will now be the priority with that, they only have the Europa League left but that was a real good one today. "They have a decent record at Leicester and I was in the car listening to the game, get back from behind and think 'here we go' not surprised with United away from home - but then that second and third goes in and it's a massive missed opportunity. “I am demoralised a little bit tonight as a United fan because I do feel that was a really good one to go for this season."
