'We were the best team but they were more clinical'

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, speaking to Sky Sports after Thursday's Carabao Cup loss to Tottenham:

"We disconnected at the beginning of the second half, that was a tough moment. If you look at all of the game, we were the best team but they were more clinical. We lost but the fight from the lads was really important for me.

"We were comfortable and dominated possession. It was not the last pass but the last shot [that was the problem]."

On what he has learned from the match: "I will think about that tomorrow, tonight I don't feel anything. There is nothing I can say to you about what is good. Tomorrow I can say a lot of things. Tonight we lost and then we have to take a night to think and then tomorrow we will have a lot of good things from this game.

"We cannot think in that way that winning silverware makes everything OK. It will be a long way, we are improving, our goal is to win the Premier League, how long it will take I don't know."

Asked if it is best for both parties if Marcus Rashford leaves the club in January: "Tomorrow we have training, he will be there preparing for the next game. He is a United player, everyone has a future at Manchester United."
