"Let's stay positive," Marcus Rashford's Twitter account wrote at 7.34pm. Erik ten Hag had struck a different tone only minutes before.
Ten Hag questioned United players' discipline and mentality. He lamented their mistakes and opined Arsenal wanted it more. He denied the players any excuses. Three times he mentioned "top level":
"You can't give such a goal away like we did on top level. Then you can't win trophies."
