Manchester United were knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough on Friday night in a historic victory, though Sol Bamba didn’t appear too overwhelmed by the occasion.After a 1-1 draw after extra time, the game was settled by penalties.Young winger Anthony Elanga blazed his spot-kick over the bar in sudden death which led to huge celebrations from the players and the 9,000 away supporters – bar Bamba.Instead of racing around the pitch in sheer joy, the defender simply stood with his hands aloft, emotionless after the 16-shot shootout – in which he coolly put away his penalty.The former Cardiff City was caught in the act, with the official Emirates FA Cup Twitter account tweeting the photos with the caption: “What a feeling! Not sunk in for Sol Bamba, though!”The 37-year-old then replied: “I’m too old for this s***,” with three laughing emojis.
