"It was a disappointing goal to give away," Solskjaer said. "Because we were on a counter-attack, Antho [Martial] gets brought down. How he's not booked, I don't know. The ball keeps on playing, we work to keep it in, then we lose the ball. It's a disappointing goal to concede and I want the players to be accountable and to put others to account. Then again, the cross got deflected, so Brandon's a bit unlucky. Victor gets caught with the ball looping over him after that deflection. So I think that was a bit of frustration that took the boys." United had 46 attempts at goal across their quarter and semi-finals yet their only goals were two Fernandes penalties. "Fantastic performance by their keeper. He made some fantastic saves and, of course, when they put some crosses in the box and scored two maybe easy goals, but they have a good mentality and a good work-rate. I think today we were on top for long spells in the first and second-half at the start of both halves and created chances - should've scored, obviously. That's one thing but I cant fault the boys. We've had 46 shots, I heard in these two games - 22 or 23 on target - made goalkeepers in both games, Copenhagen and Sevilla, play fantastic. "Then we seemed to let off at times. When we're on top that's the time to keep squeezing and squeezing at them. We let them play too much in periods, 10 or 15-minute spells, and we definitely let them off the hook."
