‘EVEN VERY GOOD PLAYERS DON'T ALWAYS PERFORM'

"People say United are not as good a team as before - I disagree," Taylor said. "There's a difference managing a club of this size because the expectations are huge. Everyone wants to beat them all the time. You won't find me criticising United's season."

"When you come here you know you are playing one of the best teams in Europe but if you come here expecting to lose then you are beaten before you arrive. The key is to realise that even very good players don't always perform at their best. There is always a day it doesn't go for them. That could be your day."
