Celta Vigo striker John Guidetti 'can't stop thinking' about horror Man Utd miss

Celta Vigo striker John Guidetti has spoken of his horror miss at Manchester United last week.

Guidetti could've sent Celta into the Europa League final if not for his gaffe.

Guidetti was criticised after the game, with Red Devils legend Roy Keane saying: "He's never looked nimble in his career, to be fair," adding: "Just look at the guy."

The 25-year-old has now spoken out about the miss in an emotional message posted to his official Instagram page.

It read: "The Last 48 hours have been very difficult for me. I can't stop thinking about what could have been... but that's life that's football, you win some you lose some.

"It hurts a lot but they say time heals everything, so let's hope that's true. I also want to say that I am so proud of the team of the fans and also of myself.

"It has been a great journey, it did not end the way we wanted it to, but we gave it our very best and no one can ask for more.

"I also want to say congratulations to Manchester United for reaching the final.

"I wish them the very best for the final! We all cry but when the tears dry we get stronger!!! Gracias por todo!! THIS IS AFOUTEZA!!!"
