“They were more aggressive than us and they hit the post early on. They scored the goal and we took over and played the game we wanted to play. We were unlucky with situations against an opponent like United, it would have been helpful to score and go 1-1 at half-time.

«The second goal does not help, then it was a hectic game after our goal, definitely not the result we wanted. »When we calmed down we have an extreme number of shots for an away game at United. We should use more of these moments, in the second half David de Gea made a fantastic save.
