MAN UTD AND CITY EXIT EUROPE

MANCHESTER drew a Euro double blank last night as both United and City were dumped out of the Europa League.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had no excuses as his side crashed out 5-3 on aggregate at Athletic Bilbao.

United never looked like overturning their 3-2 deficit from the first leg and fell further behind to goals from Fernando Llorente and Oscar de Marcos be- fore Wayne Rooney’s late consolation.

Brave City beat Sporting Lisbon 3-2, drawing 3-3 on aggregate but losing on away goals. Sporting led 2-0 before a Sergio Aguero double and Mario Balotelli penalty saw City fall agonisingly short in a storming fightback.
