Martin O'Neill singled out a Manchester United player following their bruising defeat to Nottingham Forest and said he could have done what he did.
Man United succumbed to Forest, who ran out 1-0 winners at the City Ground to maintain their Champions League push.
Anthony Elanga scored the only goal of the game as he completed a stunning counter-attack, showing off his searing pace. He was compared to Usain Bolt after covering 85 metres in nine seconds.

After the match, Ruben Amorim pulled no punches as he shared his views on Elanga scoring against his old club.
Forest legend O'Neill was a pundit for Tuesday's game as he ripped into Patrick Dorgu following his showing against Forest.
He ruthlessly claimed that he could have done what he did as he slammed Man United's performance.
"They had Dorgu playing tonight," the 73-year-old told TNT Sports.
"I could have done what he did! He's wide left-hand side, he's got the ball and you're saying: 'Come on! Your job is to take players on. Get at them!'"

Dorgu joined Man United from Lecce during the January transfer window and has shown glimpses of his potential.
But his outing against Forest frustrated O'Neill, who added: "He's laid it inside three times in the first 10 minutes of the second half... to the opposition!
"Maybe it's no confidence, I don't know what it is. But these type of things are all over the field for Manchester United."
Dorgu, who cost Man United £25.2 million, has made seven appearances across all competitions since arriving at Old Trafford.

O'Neil, however, conceded that Man United have 'some really good players', referencing club captain Bruno Fernandes.
"They [Man United] have some really good players," he said.
"Obviously, Bruno Fernandes is a top-quality player. But they haven't enough good players to be a threat in this league. And when I say a threat for Manchester United, I'm talking about getting into the top four."
