Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his views on the team’s recent performance, highlighting their control over the game despite not scoring. Ten Hag pointed out that his team maintained dominance both with and without the ball.
“We were dominant, but we didn’t score. We were in total control in and out of possession,” Ten Hag stated, emphasizing the team’s strong hold on the game. However, he also acknowledged a lapse in concentration that occurred in the latter stages of the match. “We gave them nothing until the 72nd minute when we switched off,” he admitted, pinpointing the moment the opposition was able to penetrate their defenses.
Under Ten Hag’s management, Manchester United has been working on maintaining a balance between offensive play and defensive solidity. Despite the setback in this particular game, the team’s ability to control the match for a significant duration shows signs of the tactical discipline Ten Hag is instilling in his squad.
