Manchester United's European adventure came to an end on Thursday after their 3-0 (5-2 aggregate) loss to Spanish opposition Sevilla.

“After Sevilla, I was really mad. For me, it was so unacceptable because if you play a quarter-final in the Europa League you give everything and we didn’t. You can make a mistake but you have to carry on,” he said.
