When discussing Manchester United’s defeat, coach Ten Hag used the word “disappointed” at least four times during the post-match press conference. He claimed that the home team struggled to get going against a solid transitional opponent like Bournemouth. “We should have respected our opponents, but let them achieve their forte situations,” he went on to say. “In a high-class arena like this, teams will be destroyed if they don’t play at their highest ability.”

Man United conceded against Bournemouth in the fifth minute when Sergio Reguilon failed to pass and Bruno Fernandes and Sofyan Amrabat were late to defend. In the second half, the home squad conceded two more goals on high balls, including a personal error by Luke Shaw. When questioned why the “Red Devils” performed so wildly, Ten Hag responded, “I have to accept responsibility, because I have to prepare the team the best I can before the match.” We have the ability to perform admirably in every match. fight”.

The sole change in Manchester United’s starting eleven for the encounter on December 9 was forward Anthony Martial replacing Rasmus Hojlund. The Dutch coach stated that this was not the reason for the home team’s failure. “It’s not fair to blame an individual for such a failure, because we fall together,” he told reporters.

This season, Manchester United played 22 games in all competitions, losing 11 of them. One issue raised by the British media is that the team’s training intensity is too high, causing the players to be exhausted when they enter the game. Coach Ten Hag thinks that the entire squad must work together to become stronger and to always be prepared for a match.

Man United’s 50% defeat rate this season may potentially rise, as Bayern Munich leads the Champions League and Liverpool leads the Premier League. If they lose to Bayern, the “Red Devils” will be eliminated from the European Cup this season. They will be missing captain midfielder Fernandes in the meeting at Anfield next weekend.
