St Etienne coach Christophe Galtier has reflected upon last week's Europa League defeat at Manchester United.

ASSE lost the first-leg on Thursday night 3-0.

Galtier said: "The final score was severe. We lost 3-0 by them scoring two goals from questionable free-kicks. And then there is always this frustration of not having realized the favorable opportunities that we have produced, especially in the first half.

"In the second half, we should certainly have been able to better exploit our opportunities. This third penalty goal penalized us because it considerably reduces our chances of qualification even if it remains still possible."
