Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has urged his team to move on from their defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion in order to continue their push for a place in the top four.
A 99th-minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister was sufficient to earn Brighton all three points against Manchester United on Thursday night.
Having lost that game, United must now be looking nervously over their shoulders in terms of qualifying for the Champions League, as Liverpool sit just four points behind them.
Ten Hag wants reaction from Man United players
Attention now turns to West Ham on Sunday and a second away trip in the space of four days where Erik ten Hag expects to see a response from his players.
“We have every time in the season when we had a defeat then we bounced back. I count on my team, we have to do it again,” he said following the game.
“There is no time to stay in this, in one hour we move onto the game against West Ham. Prepare them and make a good plan.
“The players have to take responsibility and I count on them and they can do that.”
