Erik ten Hag hit out at the players after Manchester United's 'not acceptable' performance against Tottenham.
However, Ten Hag did not blame his midfield for the loss and instead stated that the issues were in the back and front areas, leading to defensive vulnerabilities.“You also have to make clinical analysis and that assessment is not right. It’s not about the midfield. It was about the back and the front. That’s why we were open," he said."They didn’t run, or they run in the wrong moment, too late, especially the front, didn’t recover. It happened, you can’t turn it around.
“They were nowhere, nothing, and then things happen in the game and they got distracted, not doing their jobs anymore. That’s not a demand from a Manchester United player and from our team. I am not used to it from this team because they always do . The demand for Manchester United is you do it 90 minutes and you do it every game, no matter what," he stated.
