Manchester United's players spoke about going for the Premier League title before their loss to Liverpool.
The Red Devils were riding a wave of optimism going into the game, as they had just won the Carabao Cup and ousted Barcelona from the Europa League.
However, a 7-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield has ended any title talk and piled the pressure on the players.
Per The Mail, a WhatsApp squad chat had the players speaking about going for the league and catching Manchester City and Arsenal.
However, the optimism will now be replaced with disappointment and despondence.
Manager Erik ten Hag will have to pick up his players for their Europa League game with Real Betis on Thursday.
