On another day they could have won by a much greater margin, and the only real criticism of their performance was their profligacy in front of goal.
Speaking after the match, Dyche echoed those thoughts as he issued his verdict on the result: "Too many mistakes against a good side," he told Match of the Day.
"A side that has been very good here (Old Trafford). They deserved to win. Sometimes you hold your hands up. Particularly in the first-half, although we gave them so many chances and opportunities for not doing the basics. I think we are bringing resilience to it, and a lot of it was self-inflicted. self-inflicted from straight balls and not into the game straight away. On the other hand, some great last ditch saves from Jordan Pickford.
"We quelled it somewhat in the second-half, but overall the best team won."
