Louis van Gaal was proud of his players after defeat to Liverpool
United, needing to overcome a 2-0 first-leg deficit, went ahead when Anthony Martial converted a penalty after being fouled by Nathaniel Clyne.
But a sensational Philippe Coutinho goal left United needing three goals to win and they did not come close.
However despite a poor performance, Van Gaal revealed he was proud of his players.
“I am not angry, I am not frustrated," he told BT Sport.
“I was very proud of my players.
“They gave everything and I am pleased the fans recognised that.”
