AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie insists they leave the Europa League with heads held high after defeat to Manchester United.
Paul Pogba came off the bench to take advantage of a Soualiho Meite error.
“We are very disappointed, because we knew that we could've done it. We didn't make the most of the advantage from the first leg, because we should at least have drawn 0-0 here and reached the quarter-finals," Kessie told Sky Italia.
“At this level, you pay for mistakes. We should've cleared the ball earlier and they made us pay straight away.
“We fought to the end, we proved that we were at their level, but now we have to focus on Serie A.
“The top four position was our objective at the start of the season and it remains our main target. We can do it."
