“We know the destiny is in our own hands,” United boss Solskjaer said looking ahead to next week's trip to Germany.

“We know that we play against a good team obviously. Leipzig were in the semi-final last year, but we are developing into a better team as well.

Tonight, very pleased with the performance apart from of course they were more clinical. We need to be clinical in these types of games.

“Big games most of the time are decided by fine margins and today they were against us. I thought they were there for the taking for us beginning of the second half.

“I thought until they scored, we were the team most likely to get the important 2-1, but it wasn't to be, and we've just got to dust ourselves off and be ready for Tuesday.”
