I went to the game: we were excellent, but Utd made it easy for us. Our issues have largely been committing errors while trying to play out from the back against the press, and then not being positive enough in the final third.

One we fixed ourselves: we had noticeably more men in the box than for a long time, but they played into our hands for the other - they just didn’t press, and we could pass around without jeopardy and pick our passes.

They were really poor: Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno were all non-factors, and even though they conceded 4, de Gea was their best player.

Hopefully it gives us a boost, and we can use it to kick one
