Marcel Sabitzer thinks Manchester United’s draw against Sevilla might have been caused by a lack of focus late in the game. United were forced to play with 10 men after Martinez’s departure because they had used all their substitutions, but throwing away a two-goal lead from such a comfortable position left Sabitzer lost for words in his post-match interview.
Marcel Sabitzer said: “Yeah, I have problems finding the right words. It’s like a rollercoaster game, playing a good first half, we had lots of chances. We had to finish the game off and at the end, it’s a draw, which is not what we wanted. We have to go to Sevilla and get it done there. I think we had to finish the game off. We had the chances, we were confident in the game, I think we controlled the game but unfortunately, we gave easy goals away. We cannot concede these kind of goals and we’re very disappointed. I don’t think so [foot off the pedal], but in competitions like this, you have to be focused until the end because you can give the game away. The last minutes were strange, with one mand own, but as I said, stupid goals and that’s not what we wanted. We’re very frustrated, you cannot concede like this, not focussed until the end and when you’re 2-0 up at home, you must win.”
