“I feel we had, earlier than half-time, three or 4 good alternatives and, from there, two excellent possibilities the place we must be successful at half-time.”

However United went into the interval 1-0 down after a aim from former United striker Danny Welbeck. Within the second half they equalised via Amad Diallo, after which thought they’d gone forward with a aim from Alejandro Garnacho after 72 minutes, however it was dominated out for offside as Joshua Zirkzee had touched the ball on the road.

We have now to speak, we have now to be aligned in such moments what to do and everyone is aware of their job and, as a crew, we shield our aim.”

“I feel there have been some excellent components within the sport. We had a number of management in possession, we created good possibilities, we confirmed resilience, we got here again after which we scored what we thought was a successful aim, so it was dangerous luck that the ball was on the road. It’s touched by Zirkzee in order that’s a pity, you must take this, it’s a disappointment however I can take a number of positives from the efficiency.”
