Richards praises Man Utd trio after Newport win

BBC pundit Micah Richards has heaped praise on three Manchester United stars after the 4-2 FA Cup win over Newport County in the fourth round.



The Red Devils travelled to Rodney Parade for today's Cup tie and they raced into a two-goal lead after just 13 minutes on the clock.

However, the club conceded before the interval after a wonder goal from Bryn Morris. Newport levelled the scores right after the break.

Antony managed to pull United ahead in the 68th minute before Rasmus Hojlund put the finishing touches with the fourth goal in stoppage time.

Speaking after the game, Richards heaped praise on Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw, who combined splendidly for the third goal.

He also appreciated Antony who registered an early assist before scoring the vital third goal from a rebound off Shaw's long-range shot.

He said: "Bruno was brilliant today, as well as Luke Shaw. They were both instrumental in that third goal."

"Luke Shaw was brilliant and they've needed him back in this side as soon as possible. It's the quality in the final moments."

"Antony had a really good game today too."
