Europa League is killing us and our title ambitions - Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Their record after European games has contributed to a slow start in the Premier League, with the five Group A ties being followed by two defeats, two draws and only one win. 

'I am not used to playing Thursdays and now we have one day less to recover. We have to get back to work and play the new game on Sunday.' 

Ander Herrera is also struggling to comprehend how United have allowed themselves to drop so far off the top four. 

'I don't know the stats but we are creating more chances than last season and we are conceding less chances, but we are worse off in the table,' said Herrera. 

'I cannot believe it.'
