Norwich City boss Daniel Farke branded their FA Cup elimination by Manchester United as "cruel".
Harry Maguire scored deep into extra-time as Manchester United overcame valiant 10-man Norwich to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
Farke said: "Football can be cruel sometimes and it can be the cruellest sport in the world.
"Of course it's a disappointing outcome for us. I think the lads deserved more. They left their heart out on the pitch.
"Manchester United are totally on the up and more or less on the way to finishing in the Champions League positions, they had all players available.
"To deliver this performance is good for the confidence, without any doubt. In terms of confidence and mood, it was definitely a big boost."
