Manchester United manager David Moyes admitted his side did not
deserve to reach the Capital One Cup final after losing a penalty
shootout to Sunderland at Old Trafford.
The Black Cats
won 2-1 on penalties
after a dramatic conclusion to extra-time to progress to Wembley, where they will face Manchester City on 2 March.
"I am disappointed. We didn't play well enough over the piece," said Moyes.
"If we were going to do it we were going to stumble over the line."
United had lost 2-1 in the first leg at the Stadium of Light, but levelled the tie on aggregate when Jonny Evans headed in eight minutes before half-time.
With no further goals before the end of 90 minutes, the game went to extra-time, where an error by United keeper David De Gea in the 118th minute gifted Phil Bardsley an equaliser on the night - and a goal that would have taken Sunderland to Wembley.
However, Javier Hernandez responded almost immediately when he tapped in from Adnan Januzaj's ball to force spot kicks.
Danny Welbeck and Phil Jones were off target for United and Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone denied Januzaj and then Rafael, with the latter save sending Gus Poyet's side into the final.
