Ten Hag Slams United Players for Twente Defeat
The embarrassing thing for Manchester United is their inability to defeat even a lower-level team like Dante. In the post-match presser, Ten Hag came with his usual response and slammed the players for not doing much in the second half.
“The goal, it’s (a) team (mistake), a player of Twente can dribble through almost the whole pitch, or half the pitch, without stopping. That is not acceptable, we can’t give a goal away like this. We have seen, again, you have to keep going for the whole game; once you are 1-0 up you have to keep going and go for the second (goal).”
The Dutchman also owned the responsibility of the defeat rather than dumping it all on the players.
“I can offer mentality is very good from this team. I saw in many games how high our work rate is, but today I have some criticism. It is not only the team, I have to look in the mirror as well. I am part of it. We have to be more clinical in such situations.”
