Ragnick who took over as interim manager is yet to stir the club to the top as they continued to struggled.

Reacting to his team exit, Ragnick said; “Incredibly disappointed.

“We should have won and killed off the game in the first half.

“Crossbar, post, missed penalty and numerous chances.

“It should have been 2-0 or 3-0.

“We conceded a goal which I don’t understand why it stood. He controlled it with his hand.

“In the moment when they scored, it was clear that VAR would not allow this goal to stand.

“We were not well positioned in that moment, too open and allowed them the counter, we should have won the game.

“Anthony Elanga, anyone can imagine how he us, he is shattered and absolutely disappointed. It was the eighth penalty which had all converted.”

Manchester United will be hoping to put the defeat behind them when they take on Burnley in the Premier League action on Tuesday at Turf Moor.
