Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was disappointed to see his Manchester United side crash out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening but encouraged by the way the Reds responded to a below-par start against West Ham.
Manuel Lanzini scored the only goal at Old Trafford as the Hammers won 1-0.
It means United are out of the competition they have reached the semi-finals in the last two seasons.
“You want to go through but it’s a long season. Everyone gave it a good go. I can’t fault their attitude. We’ve got big games coming up and that’s the decision we made.
“We’re at the start of the season, we know it’s going to be a long journey. Champions League, FA Cup, Premier League – we’ve got lots of games. We just keep doing what we’re doing to try and get results. We’ve started the season OK, apart from being out of this cup, which isn’t great. And we haven’t had a good result in Europe but we’ll be ready for Saturday,” Solskjaer said.
