Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged his players to take inspiration from Tyson Fury as they seek to bounce back from their Liverpool thrashing.
Fury was floored twice by Deontay Wilder before composing himself to come back and claim victory in their heavyweight trilogy clash.
Solskjaer said: “Of course, you have to hold hands up and that performance is not acceptable, and we have to look at why it was not acceptable.
“I use the analogy that it felt like we were a boxer being punch drunk, knocked down in the first four mins or first round.
“We had a chance, we conceded a goal, we wanted to sort it out, and went a bit too open and too frantic against a good team.
“You see Tyson Fury when he gets knocked down a few times, it's remarkable how composed he is and takes a count of five,six seven, he gets up and goes again.
“We got up too early and tried to sort it. Minds have to be better but we've had to look at different things as well, the communication has to be direct."
