Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte, has said they lost to Manchester United on Wednesday night because they could not match their high level.
Fred and Bruno Fernandes both scored for United as they beat Spurs 2-0 at Old Trafford.
Conte’s men barely threatened David De Gea in goal for the Red Devils and the Italian has admitted they deserved to lose.
He told Amazon Prime: “I think in the game, United deserved to win. They played a really good game. On our side, I think the level has to be higher, we need to improve a lot and to try and be better than today.
“The first goal was a deflection but at the end I have to be honest and tell you United played better than us. They created more chances than us. In the pitch, we put will but we have to show this level we need to try to improve and be better. The level was high and United showed today they are much better than us today.
“I consider United a really good team and you know very well what they did in the transfer market and what they can spend. You are talking about two different levels. In this type of game we can do better. We struggled against Chelsea and Arsenal and today.
“We have to try to improve and there is only the work to do this. I repeat, especially in this type of game when the atmosphere is a lot of noise, United are an important team, we can improve and increase our level.”
