Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag defended their performance in defeat to Brighton.
United were comfortably beaten by the visitors 3-1.
But Ten Hag insisted: "We are disappointed. But it was really small margins. We are so close against a good side. The first 20 minutes was all ours. We created chances but didn't score. We conceded a goal with their first attack. We then had a period in the game that was quite difficult, we fought to get a goal and it was disallowed. So it is difficult in this period. It has not fallen on our side, but we will fight back and if we stick together, play as a team, stick to the rules, we will return."
On what he said at half-time, he also saud: "There's always some improvements to make, especially the organisation. But is was not our day.
"The second goal was straight after half-time. Second chance second goal, very clinical. It was a setback we did not deal with so good. but we have to keep positive in such moments and stick together and you will get back onto the game.
"You learn many things from such a game. From the mental side, you can keep strong in moments but I have seen some good stuff. the way we created many chances we are just not finishing them, but that will change."
