A Manchester United star has been criticised for a comment he made after his side's 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League.
United took a first half lead through Christian Eriksen, but Sam Lammers equalised for the visitors in the second half.
That meant manager Erik ten Hag only took a point from the match against his former club, with seven fixtures still to play in the Europa League group stage.

But it was the manner of the performance that concerned United fans the most, with Eriksen claiming that Twente 'wanted it more'.
He told TNT Sports after the game. "It's disappointing. We wanted more in the end, but it wasn't good enough.
"They looked like they wanted it more than us, and that can't be right. That was said in the dressing room."
Ten Hag agreed with Eriksen's comment in his post-match interview, stating: "We're very ambitious, and when you have ambition, you have to perform.

"Today, especially in the second half, we were too complacent. We didn't bring it over the line and, as a team, you have to bring this."
However, the admission left United fans fuming.
And speaking on TNT Sports, pundits Karen Carney and Owen Hargreaves were also critical.

Carney said: "To hear that, you can't have that. That's unacceptable.
"You're at home, you're winning - you should want it more and be ruthless. I don't see the ruthless edge in this team at the minute."
Former United midfielder Hargreaves, meanwhile, added: "Obviously, you can't have that [not wanting it more].
"I thought United's heads went down a bit after the goal, and that's not good enough. They didn't get the job done."

United are next in action on Sunday when they host Tottenham in the Premier League. They have collected seven points from their opening five games, and sit in 11th place in the table.
