Speaking, Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, opined that playing with a ten man not really responsible for the huge loss .
He said :”We had chances and our moments to get back in the game, with Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho when we still had 11 players and then after the red card too we had moments.
“We had our chances before half-time and in the second half with 10 men we had chances as well. It definitely had an impact on the game. I don’t think it was a red card.”
“First we have to deal with this and show resilience. This is not good enough. We have to accept this and get better. Focus on the next game and do things better than we did today.”
In another encounter, Liam Delap brace earned Ipswich Town a draw against Aston Villa, who missed a chance to move level on points with Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Morgan Rogers collected Jacob Greaves’ poor clearance and exchanged passes with Ollie Watkins before crashing in his first goal for the season to equalize.
Leon Bailey’s cross from the right then picked out unmarked England striker ,Watkins, who nodded past Arijanet Muric from six yards.
At that stage Villa looked set to achieve a comeback victory for the third Premier League match in a row.
