Man Utd boss Ferguson: Only Valencia can be happy

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says only substitute Antonio Valencia can be happy with yesterday's performance in defeat to Leeds United.

Jermaine Beckford's first-half goal not only gave Leeds a famous 1-0 victory at Old Trafford, it also consigned the Red Devils to their first third-round FA Cup exit, and their first defeat by lower league opposition in the most prestigious domestic cup competition, since they were beaten by Bournemouth in 1984.

"I don't think any of them can say they had a good day," said Ferguson.

"It took us 10 minutes to find him but only Valencia can say he had a good performance.

"You have to get over these kind of results quickly. We have to make sure we are ready for Wednesday."
