Manchester United's defeat to FC Copenhagen was not due to a lack of desire.
The Red Devils were beaten 4-3 by the Danish giants away from home in the Champions League group stages.
Despite being up 2-0 and 3-2 at different phases of the game, United lost 4-3 to a late Copenhagen winner.
It's disappointment, obviously," the Portugal international told MUTV.
I think for everything we did in the game, we could, and should, have got something from the game.
It's difficult at the moment, obviously the mood is not the best because we've fought so hard with 10 men that even from then, it was playing against a team that plays really good on the ball and apart from that many decisions was against us.
Today was a tough day, but I think the team effort was good, we tried. We could have done some things better but it was difficult for us from 30 minutes on, playing with one player less."
