Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag talks to TNT Sports: “We started the game very well, we dominated, scored two goals, then we lost control. The start was good, the middle wasn't good, then we finished very well. It's a difficult starting situation, we come from 3-3 2 and get the equalizer. The team has a strong character, but we need to improve in the middle.

“We have to be better on the ball and keep changing. We had good players, a good plan. We have to defend better. We had three clean sheets not too long ago, so we can defend very well, but we have to get back to those habits.

On Marcus Rashford's half-time exit: “We have to rotate. Garnacho, we didn't put him in the starting line-up, but he played a great game not only on Sunday but throughout the season in the away game.”

On his job being under pressure: “We will do it. Don't judge us at this moment, judge us at the end of the season. We are there, we will improve. We've had two seasons where we've reached the final, we'll keep going and fighting.” .

“You see the spirit and the connection between the team and the team. The players are together, they have a strong spirit and want to achieve something. We have a good mentality, but we need to improve in some areas of defense.”
