“We are sorry for them [the supporters]. They support us, especially away [and] they are top,” he told the club’s official website.

“They deserve much, much better than this. We will do our best to make them happy in the future.

“But we have 14 points – we are still in the title race. We don’t want to give up until the end.

“But when you play for Man United, if you don’t win the game of course you are disappointed, but we have to stick together.

“Every next game is the most important; every next game is a new challenge, an opportunity to show your qualities.
