FT
"Sometimes we were unlucky, with that moment when Cristiano hit the post, but we also had a few opportunities one on one with the goalkeeper. This is not luck, this is just a question of sharpness and efficiency to be clinical." *Speaking to the media
FT
"In the first half, I think there were five massive chances and in the second half we had more, so in total we had enough chances to win the game. We can hardly create more chances than we did today. It is a very frustrating afternoon." *Speaking to the media
FT
"We were in full control for almost the whole game. Watford had hardly any counter attacks apart from in the last five minutes. Apart from that, we were in total control of the game. We did everything apart from scoring." *Speaking to the media
FT
"We look to Ronaldo for goals but we haven't got a team of natural goalscorers. But overall you expect a better effort from the team. The Atletico draw on Wednesday should have given us a lot of confidence but there weren't many signs of that today."
FT
"It's getting harder and harder to look at that fourth spot. I thought after the other night, the team would be full of confidence, and we could still get to the Champions League final. The season is still very much alive, but you need to do better than the three shots on target we achieved today."

FT
"We spoke about it being a must-win before the game. I predicted 3-1 before the game, and the chances would suggest it should have been more than that. We didn't put our chances away, we were almost getting on the end of things."
FT
"It's frustrating because we've had most of the ball. Watford were there to be beaten and we had 22 chances. We should be making more of the possession, and the only thing to do when it's not going your way is to get your head down and keep working."

The Reds could not find a way past a resilient and committed Watford defence. Ronaldo, Wan-Bissaka, Elanga and Fernandes all had chances to win the match in the second half but were ultimately thwarted by the visitors. The points are shared at Old Trafford.
