Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has defended their playing style after finishing the season trophyless.
Matic was speaking after their FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea.
He said, “I think that we have improved this year. As you know, United last year were sixth. The year before that, fifth. So we improve, we are second. The only team who is better than us this year is Man City.
“Obviously, they play amazing football. But we are second and we are in the Champions League next year, which is the most important thing.
“As you saw in the game (the cup final), we tried to play – we played good football – but Chelsea have some players that can punish every mistake, like (Eden) Hazard did, so we have to accept to see where we can improve and next year to try and win some trophies.
“We gave our best and this is the most important thing. The problem is if you feel you didn't give your best and lose the game but we gave our best. We tried everything but we have to accept it."
