Manchester United must stay focused here.
They are playing well, they have had chances, they thought they were ahead but they are not.
They cannot take their foot off the gas and they cannot afford to get disheartened.

There are chants of "Steve-o", the nickname of Estevao Willian among the Chelsea faithful at Stamford Bridge.
The young attacker is hugely popular with supporters here, and his omission from Chelsea's line-ups under Xabi Alonso has been a source of criticism for the new manager.

There are chants of "Steve-o", the nickname of Estevao Willian among the Chelsea faithful at Stamford Bridge.
The young attacker is hugely popular with supporters here, and his omission from Chelsea's line-ups under Xabi Alonso has been a source of criticism for the new manager.
Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso, speaking to TNT Sports: "We are back in Premier League mode, so it is the most important.
"For sure, today is a big one. We need a good game and a good performance."
On Estevao starting: "Because he is ready, because he has been preparing and training well. Today he is needed, and we hope he enjoys his game and that he can have a good impact."
On whether Morgan Rogers will be the main centre forward: "Too early to tell, so we will see. It could, but we have options."
On Jordan Henderson's exclusion: "He is ill, no injury, but he was not feeling well yesterday, and today he had a fever."
On Man Utd: "We expect a tough game, and intense game against United. They are a big team and good players, so we will need our best."

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says ‘hard conversations’ are needed sometimes for any team to reach its optimum level.
United seem to have been in chaos since Lisandro Martinez spoke out against the club’s recruitment strategy following the 2-0 defeat by Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
The 4-1 defeat to Como, followed by a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth have left Carrick hanging to his job by a thread.
The United boss held clear-the-air talks with skipper Bruno Fernandes on Wednesday, and he must hope his side deliver a winning performance at Stamford Bridge which would end their eight-match run without a win.
Carrick tried to portray a ‘business as usual’ stance in his news conference on Thursday but he accepts life cannot always be easy.
“It's pretty clear,” he said. “It's not always rosy and nice conversations between anyone, whether that's between me and the players, between me, (director of football) Jason (Wilcox) or (chief executive) Omar (Berrada) or the owners.
“It's the truth, it's the hard truth at times and it's what we need to move forward.”
Estevao comes in for his first Premier League start of the season as Xabi Alonso makes four changes to the Chelsea XI that started Wednesday's EFL Cup loss at Liverpool.
The Brazilian winger comes in alongside defenders Levi Colwill and Marco Palestra, while Cole Palmer returns after suspension.
Malo Gusto and Danny Welbeck drop to the bench, Maxence Lacroix is out with a hamstring injury suffered at Anfield and Jordan Henderson is a surprise absentee from the squad.
Chelsea: Penders; Acheampong, Fofana, Colwill, Palestra; Caicedo, Lavia; Estevao, Palmer, Neto; Rogers.
Subs: Sharman-Lowe, Barco, Welbeck, Emegha, Quenda, Gusto, Chavarria, Nicoll-Jazuli, Subuloye.
Bruno Fernandes comes back to captain Manchester United after being dropped for last weekend's home defeat by Bournemouth.
That's one of three changes made by Michael Carrick with Lisandro Martinez and Matheus Cunha also brought in to start.
Ayden Heaven, Mason Mount and Youri Tielemens have to settle for a place among the substitutes, while Kobbie Mainoo is also on the bench after missing United last four games through injury.
Manchester United: Lammens; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Santos, Baleba; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo.
Subs: Darlow, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Mount, Zirkzee, Tielemens, Heaven, Lacey, Mainoo.
