"Conceding early makes us go into game with a mood of defeat, it's difficult to get out of that, trying to be brave, to have the ball and make something happen. If we are not able to do that, it is going to be very difficult to get out of this situation.

"It's a decision from the staff to not press man to man and sometimes leave space behind and try to get the ball, wait for them, but sometimes when you give space to these teams they get confidence."

"A team that plays through the middle with small connections, if you give them too much time and space then they can hurt you out wide."

• Manchester United are winless in seven consecutive games in all competitions (D3 L4) for the first time since a run of eight matches between November and December 2015.
