“We present ourselves as one of the best teams real Madrid, Barcelona and Man United. I call world class a player who can fit into any team and we don't have any of them.

While the Red Devils currently sit sixth in the Premier League, they have lost 12 times and have scored just 43 goals, the fewest in the top 10.

“You have to do your job. The players know their job and they didn't make the right decisions.
“We didn't react quickly enough (to Palmer's winning goal). We have to make better decisions. We have to read when to keep the ball, pass, move and change the play when we are winning.
“We made individual mistakes that cost us the game. We have to learn from it.
“When you are a Manchester United player you should already know how to deal with this circumstance. In five days we lost five points. That is unacceptable. We gave away a game that we should have won.”
