Le Boss: We Were Knackered!
AW has blamed fatigue for our 2-0 loss to ManUre yesterday...
The gaffer admitted: "We have paid the price for our European success with a fixture pile-up in the league and this has been a factor.
"We had chances in the first half, but United were physically sharper than us and deserved to win it.
"Our team is jaded and that diminishes our chances of qualifying for the Champions League through finishing in the top four.
"We have lost at Old Trafford before with Henry in the team and we did not concede a goal because he was on the bench.
"At 1-0 down we missed two great chances - one for Robin van Persie and one for Emmanuel Adebayor. Their second goal on the break killed the game."
