He said (via BBC Sport): “Manchester United turned up. They showed a bit of passion. They did it at Manchester City recently as well.
“The argument to all of this though is that you can’t just pick and choose when you want to turn up for a game at Manchester United.
“I don’t think anyone would have predicted them scoring two goals today or nearly nicking it at the end. But the key is that they have to back it up.”
