Read our privacy policy Ralf Rangnick defended Manchester United’s decision to allow Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard time off after their shock FA Cup fourth round exit to Middlesbrough. Cavani and Lingard were granted extended leave after the recent international break, meaning neither were available for Friday's penalty shoot-out defeat at Old Trafford, which saw teenager Anthony Elanga miss the decisive spot kick. Rangnick said that both players had requested time off themselves, though Lingard disputed this version of events, insisting that the club had advised him to take a break "due to personal reasons".
