on penalties.
The Red Devils fielded a much-changed side against the Championship promotion hopefuls as Louis van Gaal shuffled his deck following an intense week competing in the Premier League and the Champions League.
Many Man United fans were delighted to
learn that Wayne Rooney had been left out of the starting XI as the Red
Devils skipper is yet to hit top form this term.
The 30-year-old, who earns £250,000 per week (via Mirror), has looked out of sorts, with his touch poor, his movement blunt and his finishing rather wayward.
However, Rooney managed to play for 75 minutes against Middlesbrough, as he came on at the start of the second half for James Wilson and saw the game out during extra time.

But the England international’s
performance frustrated fans, as he struggled to provide the cutting edge
which the team were craving at Old Trafford yesterday evening.
Furthermore, to compound matters, Rooney played a part in Man United making a shock exit from the Capital One Cup, as he missed the Red Devils’ first penalty in the shootout.
The Old Trafford faithful were clearly very unhappy with his showing against Middlesbrough, with some fans even wanting him to be sold.
