Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy was happy with his side's performance despite the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Capital One Cup.
McCarthy made ten changes to his squad for the clash at Old Trafford and even though there Tractor Boys came up short, the 56-year-old stressed that any eleven he selected would have been out to the sword by Louis van Gaal's classy Red Devils.
"Manchester United deserved to win," the Ipswich manager said after the game.
"But I am delighted with my players.
"I could have put any team out against that team and probably still would have been beaten."
