Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill believes his side could have gone on to win against 10-man Manchester United in their 1-1 draw at Villa Park on Wednesday.
The Red Devils played the majority of the game a man down after Nani was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Stiliyan Petrov.
O’Neill says his side could have taken advantage of United’s lack of numbers and admits his side didn’t create enough chances.
He told BBC Sport: "I thought we could maybe take advantage but we were a bit tired in the second half and we didn't create enough to cause them undue worry.
"But they haven't been gallivanting around Europe winning Champions Leagues and titles without being a top side.
"But I thought it was a red card, when you go in two-footed nowadays there is a decent chance the referee will show a red card."
