Fuming mum forced to pick child, 11, up from cops after dad left him in hotel to celebrate Middlesbrough win at Man Utd

A FUMING mum was forced to pick up her child from police – after their dad left them in a hotel to celebrate Middlesbrough’s win at Manchester United.

The Championship outfit pulled off a famous FA Cup upset with an 8-7 win on penalties after holding the Red Devils to a 1-1 draw after extra-time.

Local police revealed one fan had left his 11-year-old son to join in with the celebrations

But a young boy was left stranded after the game as his dad went into Manchester to revel in the win.

Greater Manchester Police tweeted: “Boro away fan arrested for child neglect last night, after choosing to leave his 11yr child in the hotel after the game whilst he went into town celebrating their victory drinking.

“We have looked after the child with an unhappy mum on her way down from N/East to collect him.”

The win for Boro puts them into the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2017 when they were beaten by Manchester City in the quarter-finals.

They are also hoping to secure promotion to the Premier League this season.

Boro currently sit seventh in the Championship, out of the play-off places only by virtue of goal difference.

Meanwhile, yet another inquest has begun into Man Utd’s performance after they missed out on a chance of silverware.

And club legend Roy Keane was not impressed after the game.

Speaking to ITV Sport, he said: “Over the last couple of home matches they have only scored one goal and one obviously again tonight.

“I was talking about Man United finding a way to win the game but what did they do, they found a way to lose the game. That’s not a good sign.

“You have to be critical of United. First half fantastic, but they are playing a Championship team.

“To lose to a Championship team at home in the Cup, it’s obviously not good enough.”
