"I think as players, we were frustrated and disappointed, coming on the back of a good away performance and beating Southampton. We have to look at ourselves and take responsibility."
On his role as a leader:
"I wouldn't put it down to that, whether I'm captain or not, I see myself as a leader in this group of players. I'm experienced and now playing for this club, there are ups and downs. It's part and parcel of playing for this club."
On the pressure that is put on Manchester United players:
"I look at previous players and the likes of Rooney and Beckham, they had a large amount of scrutiny on them and they're world-class players."
On Joshua Zirkzee:
"I sent him a private message after the [Newcastle] game. Listen, Joshua is a good player - you don't play for this club if you're not a good player. We have amazing fans who stick with us through thick and thin. It's not about individuals."
On players being nervous at home:
"We spoke about the first goal at Old Trafford and it's not teams are coming and opening us up and breaking us down. The game against Brighton was 50/50, it could have gone either way and we need to stop giving away the first goal."
"Football games are defined by small margins. We know things can turn and tomorrow is a chance to go out there and put on a performance."
On Rangers:
"We expect a tough game. They're going to come here and give everything, but our focus is on ourselves and making sure we perform after a bad defeat at the weekend."
On the team's poor form:
"If I could explain it, we would change it straight away. Like you said, we have players who have played numerous games internationally and have won lots of trophies in club football, but we're not playing well enough as a team at the moment and the league shows that."
"We need to stop looking for excuses and it's really important as an individual you improve yourself."
