"We raised the bar in terms of the team effort, the team commitment, the team intensity and desire. But we didn't score and didn't have enough chances."
"A frustrating night and not the result we wanted. There were some improvements in our performance because if we didn't perform to at least at an acceptable level, we would have lost and a defeat would leave us in a difficult situation. "So, in such a difficult group like we have, if you cannot win, you don’t lose. I think we were the team that tried more and had probably a couple of biggest chances to win it but I accept the result as a fair result." *Speaking to BT Sport
"We left the hotel at 6pm, hoping that 30 minutes would be enough and it normally is. But, this time, the police refused to do an escort so we came by ourselves. It took, from the Lowry Hotel, 75 minutes. "UEFA were nice and the referee was nice to allow us to start the game five minutes later because we needed time to be prepared. It was a not a problem with the club's organisation. We tried everything. We anticipated it could have been dangerous, in the sense of arriving late, but we were informed that the police refused a police escort." *Speaking in the press conference
"We grew in the second half. You can tell we’re disappointed we didn’t get the goal we deserved in the second half. We’re after anything – we were on the front foot. We had both wingers running at them but couldn’t get that goal. We’re disappointed. "I think we have to stand tall. We’re obviously going through a tough patch but us players are the only ones who can turn it around. We’ve got to stand tall and turn it around as quickly as we can. We’ve had a lot of discussions around the team and we’re working hard in training. We’ve got to get back to where we belong." *Speaking to BT Sport
"I think some of these chances, we need a ricochet or something and the confidence gets lifted. We’re trying as hard as we can. We’re talented players and it’s that confidence. "Mentally, we’ve got to be tough. In these home games, we knew how important it was to get to six points [in the group] but tomorrow our heads turn to a big game on Saturday." *Speaking to BT Sport
I really fancied the Reds to rack up a victory when I saw the starting line-up but it just wasn't to be. Valencia were a disruptive force, collecting six bookings to our one for Lukaku. That's after they picked up five yellow cards in their league match at the weekend. Not a pretty side to watch and I hope we can stay ahead of them in Group H, even after their double-header against Young Boys.
"Valencia don't let in many goals. Tonight they got back and defended well. "They were always going to be hard to beat."

That's it. The referee blows for full-time. United had the best chances of the game with Romelu Lukaku forcing a save out of Neto and Marcus Rashford hitting the crossbar. The Reds will face Italian champions Juventus in their next Champions League fixture.
