“The fact is not the atmosphere, it’s just the way you are with 11 on the pitch. OK, following the rules, come into the game, keep the ball, play composed and just do your work in defending, following the rules. The two goals we conceded at the start is not necessary.”
“That’s what I say: you lose the game at the start of the first half and at the start of the second. You can’t concede a goal. When you stay in the game, I have a feeling you can get the right result here, and we didn’t. It’s too early. You encourage them with that goal.”
“I think the lesson is you have to be ready for every game. You can’t start [like this] especially when an opponent is in the circumstances Villa is. They are down in the Premier League, new manager. You know we are at Villa Park. You have to be ready for the game. It’s really a pity we were not.”

"Aston Villa started both halves really well and it was just a little bit too much for us. We were off the pace a bit and we couldn't really get much going or much control over the game."

Luke Shaw's deflected effort on the stroke of half-time gave the Reds hope, following first-half goals from Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne for Villa, but Jacob Ramsey's second-half effort extended the hosts' advantage, which they would go on to hold, to take all three points on home turf.

There's been a real lack of football in these last 10 to 15 minutes. The home side have made a raft of changes and there have been a couple of stoppages for injuries, which is making it really difficult for United to build any sort of momentum. It's looking like it will be a very frustrating afternoon.

Ashley Young, Boubacar Kamara and Danny Ings come on for Lucas Digne, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.
