Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag revealed that his players lacked passion, considering the manner of their exit from the European Football League quarter-finals “unacceptable” after losing 3-0 in Seville on Thursday.
Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesiri scored two goals at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium in Seville, 13th in La Liga, as United lost 5-2 on aggregate.
United committed many fatal mistakes, especially from goalkeeper David De Gea and defender Harry Maguire, who were responsible for two goals.
In response to Sevilla fighting more than his team, Ten Hag told reporters: I must admit it, it hurts and is cruel, but it is the truth.
The Dutch coach appealed to United players to show more desire and consistency when owning the ball.
He added: When you suffer a blow, you must deal with it and stand firm. It is not related to the skills of the players, but rather to the personality. You must show persistence, desire and passion.
“You must have a greater desire to win, so what happened is not acceptable.”
United will meet Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup semi-final the day after tomorrow, Sunday, before visiting Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
