They were walking in the streets with their heads low.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has not gambled with the club's season by prioritising Europa League success over a top-four finish in the Premier League, he said Wednesday.
Arsene Wenger's side closed the gap on third-placed Liverpool to seven points with two games in hand and Xhaka had impressed before limping off with a recurrence of the problem he first picked up at Tottenham the previous Sunday.
The images above show the 67-year-old holding the supportive photo up as he's leaving the ground after Sunday's win. I am not enjoying that, honestly. I can not demand more from players who don't play one minute of football in the past seven weeks.
"Normally it's win, lose, draw. So it's not normal and I really don't care about it".

That meeting was also cancelled, according to a White House official who requested anonymity to discuss private talks. Under the agreement, the US pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emission by 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.
Mourinho had claimed that "peace" reigned between himself and Wenger prior to the game, but he questioned the Frenchman's poor record against him afterwards and accused him of putting unfair pressure on the fourth official.
"So finally today they sing, they (swing) the scarves - it's nice for them". "So in this aspect I don't think there will be a difference between the teams".
With Mourinho, it's always easy to fall back on everything he says being a trick, a mind game, but the United manager mostly sounded deflated and exhausted speaking to the media.
'It's my style of play and nobody can make me change that. We go with everything on Thursday, and when you go with everything on Thursday you can't go with everything against Tottenham and even when you go with everything against Tottenham it is hard. "I don't think so". Jose Mourinho's men were given a welcome boost by the return to action of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Juan Mata against Arsenal last weekend but are still without five players as Tim Fosu-Mensah, Ashley Young, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are sidelined through injury. Realistically it's going to be hard to do it through the league. When you don't go with everything, it's more hard. We had much better opportunities to score and we didn't score. We had just one blip and I think it was a bit physical.
And Mourinho again highlighted his supporters' efforts ahead of the crucial continental clash, lamenting a lack of atmosphere at their previous Europa League game against Anderlecht, in comparison to their recent Premier League win over champions-elect Chelsea.
