Casemiro scored again in the 95th minute with a soft header following Bruno Fernandes’ free kick cross into the box.
Lindelof told manutd.com this wasn’t the result the team wanted.
“Coming here is always tough and we played against a very, very good team,” Lindelof said
“And we managed to score three goals and didn’t get a result, of course it’s frustrating and we wanted a better result obviously.
“Yeah mistakes are part of football, it happens, it’s all about how we can bounce back from that. I think we started the game well and obviously we conceded the first goal.
“But we came out in the second half and we wanted to give it a good try and we managed to score three goals but like I said we didn’t get the result we wanted.”
Lindelof has made one appearance in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Manchester United have won the Champions League three times (1967/68, 1998/99 and 2007/08).
They are currently last place in Group A of the 2023/24 Champions League with zero points after matchday one.

3 defeats in a row.
Man United have to do more than bounce back at this rate. Maybe they should bounce sideways instead of bouncing back.
Another defeat might cost Ten Häag his jobby job.
