– After failing to take the decisive penalty in the match against Fulham, Joshua Zirkzee broke down and cried. After the match, the striker apologized to Man Utd fans.
In the FA Cup 5th round match, Man Utd drew 1-1 with Fulham after 120 minutes. Then, the Red Devils lost 3-4 to their opponents in the penalty shootout. This result made Man Utd officially become the former champion of the tournament.
In particular, striker Joshua Zirkzee was considered the sinner of Man Utd when he failed to take the decisive penalty kick. Immediately after the missed kick, the Dutch striker had a mental breakdown.
Joshua Zirkzee sat down on the field and cried. In contrast to that image was the jubilant dancing of the Fulham players.
Coach Amorim and his teammates at Man Utd came to comfort Joshua Zirkzee. Even Fulham’s Alex Iwobi expressed his sympathy for the Dutch striker.
After the match, Joshua Zirkzee apologized to Man Utd fans. This player shared: “Sorry for letting you down. Today, the team’s fans were amazing. Thank you for your constant support.”
Coach Amorim has no intention of blaming his student: “The result of the penalty shootout can change in many different directions. This is difficult for the players. On the penalty spot, anything can happen. We tried to be comfortable and confident but today was not Man Utd’s day.
We always have big ambitions. Disappointment in the cup tournament is something that can happen. We still have many opportunities to improve and go further”.
After being eliminated from the FA Cup, Man Utd no longer have much hope of participating in European cups next season. They only have one door left: winning the Europa League. In this tournament, the Red Devils will face Real Sociedad in the round of 16
