    ‘You cannot concede like this’ – Marcel Sabitzer laments about ‘two goals’

    In their Europa League match against Sevilla, Manchester United lost a two-goal lead late on, leaving Marcel Sabitzer unhappy.

    Having the six-time Europa League champions down 2-0, United collapsed horribly in the second half by giving up two odd, late own goals. After the game, Sabitzer, whose goals had given his team what appeared to be a dominant advantage, cut a dejected figure.

     The Austrian told BT Sport: “It’s difficult to find the words. We should have finished them off. We had the chances. Unfortunately we gave easy goals away. We can’t concede these type of goals. Two stupid goals and that’s not what we wanted. Very frustrated. You cannot concede like this. It’s not focusing until the end. 2-0 up at home and you have to get it done.”

    Sabitzer was one of the stars of the game as he carried on his incredible run of form. While he concentrated on United’s poor game management that evening, there was undoubtedly an element of bad luck at work as Sevilla scored twice with shots that were clearly off-target after Lisandro Martinez’s injury reduced the Reds to 10 men.

    Because of United’s busy schedule, there isn’t much time to reflect. They go to Nottingham Forest on Sunday for a league match before flying to Sevilla on Thursday night to complete their quarterfinal match.
