: "It was a very good game of football which deserved fans
 When you see the team sheets you think there might be goals in this game, because there's loads of attacking talent and I don't think anyone was disappointed
 Chances for both teams
"With a bit more clinical finishing we could have finished the game midway in the second half
 In that period they were there for the taking
"We had some big chances then, some big moments
 That's the difference when you get to the big games: the clinical moments
 You can say about the possession in the middle and which team dominates but games are always decided at either end
"United are back in action on Saturday with a trip to the London Stadium to play West Ham, live on Sky Sports
 They then travel to Leipzig for their Champions League decider on Tuesday
