"A bad defeat like Saturday's is a big step for them mentally.

"In the past we've relied on experienced players like Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson to help the young players. We have got to pick up the resilience and substance of Manchester United teams in the past but some of our young players have only been here one year."

"It is the same as any other time because there is such a fascination with this club and I hope the younger players now know what it means. When you get a belting like we did on Saturday that can help them understand more than anything else. We are the biggest club on the planet, in the universe, no doubt about that."
