After the match, Bruno Fernandes stated that Manchester United must stop thinking about the past to move forward, but Michael Carrick contradicted him, saying he doesn't agree. Milan legend Zvonimir Boban criticized Bruno Fernandes and Manchester United, saying they won't have a strong present or future with Fernandes as their best player.
