Son was apologetic to Tottenham fans in an interview with the club's social media channels post-match quoted by Sportbible.
"I'm really disappointed this afternoon. I really don't know what to say.
"There's always been passion from outside, from this stadium - and those who support us I know are really, really disappointed. I think they're even more disappointed than us, so feel really bad and sorry about it. A really sad afternoon.
"It's a really sad afternoon because... I really don't know what to say. I know it sounds really crazy and it sounds really not normal that I'm down but it's about the results.
"If we win I'm really happy and if we lose I'm really down for two or three days. So yeah, what can I say, we have to bounce back next Friday."
Son was also involved in the hand-in-the-face incident with United's Scott McTominay causing a United goal to be disallowed after a VAR review.
