– “For me it was a surprise. We were not on the front foot, we were not brave on the ball and there were spaces to play but we were not brave enough.
– “In this moment I can’t think about positives. We let our fans down, we let ourselves down and we’re hugely disappointed.”
– Since United last won the league title, City have won it five times, including the last two in a row.
– “It is a process. It is one game. Maybe against other teams the problems would not come but against Manchester City they will,” added Ten Hag.

Ten Hag: "It's normal in our process that pattern has to go up and I think I see clearly it goes up and we have setbacks during that process and we have to learn from it but point it clearly out."

– “I want to change the head and the attitude from the team. There was a reaction in the second half. We were more brave and scored three goals. Only from mistakes you learn.”
