Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag speaking to ITV after losing on penalties to Manchester City in the Community Shield:
“Tough result to take. When the performance is right [and] you lose, everyone feels this. It hurts in your stomach. You have to feel pain and we have to hurt. We have to take this belief in to the league.
“We did very good to produce the second goal in the FA Cup final before half-time and weren’t able to do that here
“We managed to be on an equal level with Man City and got [Marcus] Rashford high on the pitch. We created chances, we got pressure on the ball and in possession we had some very good chances.
“There are many positives we can take from this.”
