Top Gesture From Man. United

Manchester United may have left Yeovil’s FA Cup dream in tatters but the Premier League club still had time bring some cheer to Gary Johnson’s squad after the clash at Huish Park.

The Glovers boss made it clear to his players that there were to be strictly no selfies before his side’s 2-0 defeat to Louis van Gaal’s men but that wasn’t going to stop the League One players grabbing the shirts of their top-flight counterparts at the final whistle.

Yeovil skipper Joe Edwards, who is a lifelong United fan, was one of the lucky ones as he grabbed United captain Wayne Rooney’s shirt but some of his colleagues were not quite as lucky.

“A few of the boys didn’t manage to get their shirts after the game,” the Yeovil captain said. “But a few of the lads saw them in the tunnel and they asked one of the lads, who brought out all the actual shirts into the dressing room.

“Like I said they were a brilliant bunch of lads and from world class footballers to fellow professionals that’s what you’d expect but it was brilliant to see.”

Edwards, whose side are currently bottom of Sky Bet League One, was full of praise for Yeovil’s focus as goals from Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria booked United’s place in the fourth round.

And he also reserved special mention for the visitors attitude towards their trip to Somerset.

“We were fully professional and focused on the game beforehand,” he added.

“We knew we had to do a job and we didn’t want to be embarrassed or anything like that. We gave everything we had but just came up short.

“They are world class players and you can see the difference. But they were real nice guys. They all had time for us after the game and even during the game there was no nastiness going on.

“As a fan it’s brilliant for me to see top players can still be humble and appreciative."
