Erik Ten Hag: ““We have to be more clinical and more ruthless and this game has to be finished by half time and we didn’t,” he tells the BBC. “But it is still a very good performance and it is still a big compliment to the team.”
Manchester United’s manager also points out that his side has had to play three games in seven days and blames the hecticness of United’s schedule for Marcus Rashford’s injury. Manchester United have played more games than any other top flight team in Europe this season and continue to fight on three fronts with the Carabao Cup already safely ensconced in the trophy cabinet.
Jordan Pickford: “We know they are a good side with them being in the top four,” he tells the BBC. “We were still in the game with it being 1-0 but as a team unit we need to be better. We had a game plan and sometimes you have to hold your hand up. We have got to keep grafting and working hard. We know as a team we want to be much better and coming to Old Trafford we need to step up to the plate. We have eight games left and they are eight finals.”
