What we have to evaluate is the team's reaction after the first mistake, which wasn't good because we lost some of our balance on the field and our positive thinking. We have to learn from our mistakes in the second half. The team's biggest mistake was not reacting well after the first goal. It's a good lesson for the future. We have to learn from this defeat.
Manchester United's slow start to the season has increased the pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim, who has won only 25.8% of his Premier League games in charge. The Reds have just two victories from their past 13 top-flight matches and produced another lacklustre display in Sunday's 3-0 loss to neighbours Manchester City. Despite the growing external unease around Amorim, not helped by the derby defeat, senior officials remain fully supportive of the Portuguese. And club sources insist that on most statistics United are performing better than last season despite sitting in 14th place, after their poorest start to a league campaign since 1992-93 with four points from the opening four games.
"We did not have a perfect day [against Slovakia]. No one had," Nagelsmann said. "To be frightened is not a good thing. I will try my best to win. I am not afraid. I think we will do a better job than on Thursday. "We will try to be the best competitors possible and win our home game, which is very important for us and the fans in the stands. It is such an important game for us."
