Ten Hag criticizes MU stars ‘unacceptable’

That is the headline shared in the Mirror (UK) today August 26 after the press conference before the match of Manchester United. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has criticized his side’s performance in the 2-0 loss to Tottenham last weekend, as the Red Devils were looking to bounce back when they took on Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

Coach Erik ten Hag admitted Manchester United’s performances in the first two games of the new season were “not good enough”, while also criticizing his players for not running in the 0-2 defeat to Tottenham in the second round. Premier League.

The “Red Devils” defeated Wolves with a controversial 1-0 score in the first game after the VAR mistake, before a disastrous defeat to Spurs. United’s midfield has come under a lot of criticism, with former captain Gary Neville urging them to sign a new midfielder and both Dimitar Berbatov and Jamie Carragher being particularly critical of Casemiro. However, Ten Hag does not believe MU’s midfield has problems, instead blaming each player for “not doing their job well anymore” and running “at the wrong time”.

When asked about the criticism before MU’s match against Nottingham Forest today (August 26), MU coach Erik Ten Hag replied: “The problem is not in midfield, but in the back and front. That’s why we’re open.

They didn’t run. They run at the wrong time, too late, especially in front. They did not recover. That’s a requirement here, if you want to win games.‌ In the first 35 minutes we played very well at Tottenham.

We dominate completely. We should have scored at least one goal, two goals I think. They are nowhere, nothing. And then things happen during the game and the players lose focus, don’t do their job anymore.

I’m not used to that on this team because they always do. That’s what fans can expect and what we’re asking for. The requirement at MU is that you have to do it for 90 minutes every game, no matter what.

I told them that was unacceptable. We have to work together as a team and each has to take responsibility. We need responsible players. The first two games weren’t good enough. If we do the right things, we have a very good team. If everyone does their job well, we will win games.”

MU will be without left-back Luke Shaw when they take on Nottingham Forest, when the 28-year-old has to sit out due to injury. Left-back Tyrell Malacia is also injured, leaving MU with few options after sending Brandon Williams to Ipswich on loan. Right-back Diogo Dalot could be replaced or Ten Hag could give 20-year-old Alvaro Fernandez his first starting spot.

In addition, MU is also absent from Mason Mount due to injury, and rookie Rasmus Hojlund is likely to continue to be absent from Ten Hag’s squad because he is still in the process of recovering fully after a back injury.
