Despite making eight changes to the squad that played against City, the United manager went in with Pogba for their Europa League opener against Dutch side Feyenoord on 15 September.

Anticipation at Old Trafford was high for this campaign following a promising pre-season, capped off with a 2-1 win over Leicester City to win the Community Shield in August.

Tonny Vilhena scored Feyenoord’s victor late on, despite Nicolai Jorgensen, who delivered the cross, being offside. “There’s the next game in the EFL Cup and we absolutely have to win so our confidence comes back”.

“Obviously some played better than others but I have to understand that some of these players haven’t played week after week like the other boys”. “In the first half we did not have an especially ambitious attitude”, said the Portuguese. I must give a huge compliment to the team for the fight that we had up to the last minute.

“It should belong to them and that is what I expect from them – that on Sunday we will try to win the match normal”. “In the second half was when they were increasing their intensity and it was when they conceded the goal”.

“It’s a little crisis, you could say, because Manchester United cannot lose three games”, Fellaini is quoted as saying by SFR.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho claims he was never “on the moon” after their positive start to the season and realises the latest back-to-back defeats are not the end of the world.

“But I think today we were very good physically and they didn’t create a lot”.

“I know the situation is not a case of clicking your fingers and everything is ideal”.

“When you lose matches, there are no miracles in terms of the players’ soul”, said Mourinho. The players at this age with great life, the money they have to do what they want, I think they shouldn’t need an extra source of motivation.
