"Manchester United is a very strong opponent. We have made a lot of efforts to beat them away from home."

When asked about Rooney's performance, Van Gaal sighed: "Rooney is our core player, but his performance today is indeed not satisfactory."

"However, this cannot be entirely blamed on him alone. The cooperation of the entire team needs to be improved."

"We will learn lessons from this defeat and do better in future games."

As the interview ended, the two head coaches were also ready to leave.

Guardiola shook hands with Van Gaal in a friendly manner, and the two paid tribute to each other.

Although they were tit-for-tat on the field, they both knew that the other side was an opponent worthy of respect.
