O’Shea: Man Utd kids know they should have done better

“The lads know they should have done better,” he said.

“For some reason, the technique and ability we know these young players have just wasn’t there, which was a big disappointment.

“Coventry just seemed to get on top of us and we didn’t manage to get that lucky break, or a goal that would have settled everyone down.

“Even if we had clawed it back, it would have been unfair on Coventry. They were better than us and they deserved to win.”
