Louis van Gaal has said that his Manchester United side are "always growing" following Saturday's narrow defeat to leaders Chelsea in the Premier League.
Eden Hazard handed the Blues a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge, where the Red Devils had more than 70% possession.
The United manager told BBC Sport: "We are in a process but you have seen my team is always growing, improving every week. It is amazing how we have played here. It is unbelievable that the result is 1-0 but that's football.
"Our fans are disappointed we lost and I am disappointed we lost. That is a pity, especially after we played so well. I have very disappointed players. And I'm very disappointed. But I see that we are improving every week.
"When you can play at Chelsea, like this, as the dominant team, then I'm very happy with that. But I'm also very disappointed. And that's the ambivalence in my feelings."
Van Gaal has also described the performance as his side's best of the campaign.
