Full time: MK Dons 4 Man Utd 0

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson admitted he was as shocked as anybody after watching his League One team claim a stunning 4-0 win over Manchester United in the Capital One Cup.

Louis van Gaal’s men are still looking for a first competitive win under the Dutchman after two goals apiece from Will Grigg and Benik Afobe earned a shock result.

“I’m a little bit shocked to be walking off and seeing the scoreline,” Robinson said. “It’s ridiculous, it’s something that dreams are made of for these players.

We work hard here and you’ve seen a youthful energy in the team.”

Van Gaal was disappointed to see his side concede goals due to individual mistakes – Jonny Evans with a glaring howler for the opener – but he was quick to defend his decision to make ten changes from the team that drew at Sunderland.

“You have to analyse the problem and then you have to take your matches and I have done that and I think the changes were good,” he said. “You don’t have to forget that we have nine injuries and we have a very young team. I have seen them trying to do their utmost best.

“We are building up a team and you cannot make (it) in one month, not in one year. Of course it’s very disappointing but I hope they shall maintain their confidence in the club and in our philosophy because that takes time.”

The defeat came just hours after the signing of Angel di Maria for a British record fee. “He shall contribute very much in our way of playing,” said van Gaal.
