Gory gory Man United: Darren Fletcher's flops make unwanted history in dismal FA Cup exit - and disgusted-looking Sir Alex Ferguson can't hide his disappointment

Manchester United have made unwanted history on the back of their FA Cup third round exit - breaking two records that go back decades.

Darren Fletcher's side were knocked out of England's top cup competition at the first time of asking on Sunday night, with former Red Devil Danny Welbeck scoring one and setting up another in Brighton's 2-1 win.

It means United were this season knocked out of both domestic cups at the first hurdle, having lost on penalties to League Two Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup at the start of the campaign.
