Middlesbrough supporters held up mobile phones in a show of support for steel workers as they made it through to the Capital One Cup quarter-finals.

SSI's Redcar plant was mothballed, with the loss of 2,200 jobs, after its Thai-based owner went into liquidation.

The 10,000 travelling fans shone their lights 10 minutes in to the game at Manchester United as a demonstration over the job losses.

Middlesbrough won 3-1 on penalties after the game at Old Trafford ended goalless following a period of extra time.

Middlesbrough will now welcome Everton to their Riverside Stadium in the last eight of the competition.
