Nicky Butt, who had gone from substitute to MVP, was not even allowed a place on the subs' bench for the FA Cup final.

Both managers condemned the incident after the game at Elland Road. As far as I know, there is some investigation going on from Leeds United, Rangnick said.

The problem is we have nine outfield players available plus three keepers and after we have to bring in five young players who are not even 21 years old.
