"I think it can play a part, absolutely. I think its a mix of different factors. I wouldn't say it's the main reason. I think there's other things as well. Hopefully we can turn this around. We have to learn from our mistakes because this is not good enough. Nine points in such a tough Champions League stage, we should be happy but we have to continue because we want more than this. We have to show that."
"That's part and parcel of the game, you have to understand it. I don't think it was a 5-2 game, I think we've given them almost three or four of those goals. It's on us as a collective. We'll learn from it, it will help our young team grow. We've been excellent this competition so far. We've just played a team tonight that's punished us."
Fridolina Rolfo scored in the 14th minute but Manchester United conceded five goals and lost 5-2 to Wolfsburg. Ella Peddemors and Lineth Beerensteyn scored doubles to secure the victory for Wolfsburg. United registered eight shots to Wolfsburg's 13 and produced expected goals of 1.18 compared with Wolfsburg's 1.93. Fatigue was noted as a possible factor but not identified as the main cause, with multiple contributing issues cited. United sit fourth in the Champions League group, one point behind leaders Lyon, and hold nine points from the stage. Defensive and collective mistakes were identified as areas to address.
