We must not let it dictate how our season will be. We need to stick together and have faith in the process.

This was a dreadful time for us, and the outcomes shouldn’t have occurred, particularly given the trip we are all on, he tweeted.

We have a responsibility to this club and to uphold the badge, but there are plenty of opportunities to look ahead and plenty of games coming up that require our full attention.

Luke Shaw, an English defender, apologized to the club’s supporters for the “unacceptable” and “embarrassing” performance.

In the days following United’s victory against Newcastle in the League Cup final at Wembley, he claimed that he felt that standards had fallen.

This hurts a lot, so we need to rediscover the positive things we were doing previously and do them again, he told MUTV.
