Press conference with Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag following their 3-0 Europa League quarter-final second-leg defeat to Sevilla.

Erik clearly not a good performance not a good result
Since the shadows and the players you had to bring
Is this the way of losing that there are some players who are not good enough for this team
I think they have shown in the past that
they can but tonight weren't good enough
That was clear that was clear
So we didn't experience the standards which you can expect
I know it's easy to focus on David de Gea
but the way he has conceded his goals and the fact that he is in the language for a new contract
Can you clearly say that he is a long-term goalkeeper that you want to move forward
He is the man with the cleanest records in the Premier
League which shows that he is an extremely capable goalkeeper
What's the most annoying thing about a real fight and the fact that Sevilla was just more on it than your team
I have to admit it it's the truth it's hard it's really hard
but it is the truth and it cannot be and it is unknown
But I think we have shown in the past that we can really rebuild quickly
We have done it many times with players this season
But what we need to learn is to start players better with
more intention and pressure more composition on the ball
And if you get a setback you must maintain it and keep going
Is that a sign of a team that still has a lot to learn a lot
to do that you can go from the great high points you've had
Are we going to real big teams like Liverpool and like tonight
Yes it's the truth that we need to better
And it's not about playing opportunities no it's about character and
therefore composed of desire and passion and they wanted to win more
And it cannot be and I think it is unknown
Erik is this the only chance that this could have a real impact on the rest of the season
The way the floor was built and what it was building momentum for this
I have been thinking about this question a lot lately after the city after Liverpool
In Brentford we always rebuild and therefore from that perspective this team has character
So we have very good mental skills but at certain given moments we are not there and that is
what I think we now have to accept is unacceptable because anyone ca
See that the needs and standards must be higher in a club like Manchester United
Hi Erik is it a big task
to get them into the FA Cup semi-final Again
Is it a big task to get the players to the semifinals now
Yes of course I've already started but we need to pick them up and we have to pick them up
But we also have to experience that we let ourselves be hit and we let the fans be hit
If you want to win trophies and be successful you need other characters
Erik why do you think there's such a big difference between the home form and the away form
Sunday we can do it we saw Forrest and then were composed
We had the intention and today we did not do it
You can expect a player from Manchester United from
the Manchester United team to perform consistently
Now it's too often that we have a real bad performance and it can't be
Last question in Spanish
Is the intensity of Seville the most important part of this game do you think
Does the team of Mendilibar seem like the favorite to win the Europa League
First I have to congratulate Sevilla on their performance
It's true they played very well but I'm looking at my own team and
I think we should do better and even they are a great team a great fighting spirit
The atmosphere was also
great with a lot of positive energy in the stadium but it doesn't matter
We must master it we must do
better and everyone can expect higher
standards from Manchester United Very much thanks
