Two goals from Michael Mifsud give Championship Coventry a stunning 2-0 Carling Cup win over Man Utd at Old Trafford.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson changed his entire team from Sunday's win against Chelsea and paid the price.
Coventry, backed by 11,000 fans, went ahead after 27 minutes when Michael Mifsud turned in Michael Doyle's cross.
And Mifsud killed off United with 20 minutes left, firing high into the net after Jay Tabb fashioned an opening.
Interview: Coventry boss Iain Dowie
United may have rung the changes, but their side still contained six full internationals and the result is a major embarrassment for Ferguson.
Nani, United's £17m summer buy from Sporting Lisbon, was a serious disappointment with his final ball and shot almost always poor.
Mifsud's opener was no more than Coventry deserved as Old Trafford voiced its disapproval at United's struggles, taking advantage of good work by Doyle to score.
