Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag revealed his feelings after his team’s 3-0 loss to local rivals Manchester City. The Dutch manager admitted that Sunday was one of his worst days in charge of Man United.
“Of course, it is disappointing, but last year we had many highlights. When you lose a derby in the way we lose, that is disappointing,” Ten Hag explained. “First half we had a very good game plan and the execution was also very good. It was toe-to-toe first and it was very similar, but then the penalty changed the moment. Then, in the second half we chose to become more offensive and it is 2-0 too quickly. From that point on it was a difficult game.”
To date, United have lost seven of their 14 games in all competitions this season. With this defeat, the Red Devils find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League standings. In contrast, City find themselves in third place, just two points behind league leaders Tottenham Hotspur.
