“The feeling inside is difficult to explain. We came here to win. We’ve been working so hard all season and this was the opportunity to win a trophy. It didn’t happen for whatever reasons. We have to get rid of the disappointment, look back and see what we did wrong and where we can improve. The team will not give up. There’s no chance the manager gives up. He won’t allow us to give up. We’ll come next season with a bigger desire. The club, Manchester United, people say a lot about us – they’re going downhill, bla bla bla. The talent, the ability, the hunger the squad. We have to show it to the world and ourselves. Show why we belong in top places and why we need to be winning finals like this.”
“Now is not the time to point the finger on what I would have done different, but when you come out with no trophy, you’ve not done everything right.”
“That’s football at times. They made it hard for us. We had the majority of the possession and they defended well. We didn’t create enough big chances.”
“We’ve got to taste this feeling and make sure we don’t get it again. We didn’t turn up. I think we started alright. They got the goal with the only shot they had on target. I was disappointed we conceded on a set play, of course. We pushed, we pressed, we scored. But after we got the goal we couldn’t control the game and dominate as we wanted.” *Speaking to BT Sport
"Villarreal were defensively minded, disciplined and well organised, and they really didn't show any ambition to go and attack us, apart from in the second half of extra time when they looked the more likely team to score. But their game plan worked, well done to them and they've won the first major trophy in their history."
"The players will be devastated but nobody will blame David. How often does it come down to the keepers taking kicks? "There were some fantastic penalties scored but it has to come down to one of the players in one of the teams missing and unfortunately, it was us. "It just wasn’t meant to be our night. We probably didn't create enough in the game and ultimately penalties have decided it. Villarreal had a game plan, they knew what our strengths were. We have to remember this feeling, we don’t want it to happen again."
