Manchester United players respond to their shock exit.
Manchester United suffered a shock Champions League defeat on Tuesday night against Sevilla.
The Red Devils lost 2-1 at Old Trafford, defeated in a game they were expected to win.
The loss prompted furious criticism from fans and pundits towards manager Jose Mourinho, and the players did not escape either, with supporters calling for a shake-up and new signing Alexis Sanchez blamed for his own inept display.
United midfielder Jesse Lingard last night apologised to supporters on social media, claiming he is angry after the team’s performance.
Marcus Rashford and an emotional Eric Bailly posted messages on Twitter, with the latter begging for forgiveness.
United needed this passion from the players on the pitch last night, with the players only showing urgency in the final few minutes of the game – after they went 2-0 down.
The Red Devils face Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford in the FA Cup this weekend and it has become a game they cannot afford to lose.
Retaining the cup is the club’s only chance of a trophy now in Jose Mourinho’s second season in charge, and a home defeat at this stage is unthinkable.
