Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has pointed the finger at three of his players after the club’s late defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Erik ten Hag’s afternoon went from bad to worse – when a seagull was spotted clapping behind him after the late winner.
The Dutchman could not believe his luck as Brighton snatched all three points at the Amex.
Ten Hag told reporters, “We didn’t stop the cross. There were three players. [Adingra is a] right-footed player, send him down the line, send him wide instead of letting him come in and let the cross.”
When asked how the three did not sense the danger, he replied, “We have, of course, to talk about this…how we act in that situation as a team.
There was more than one mistake in that occasion and it has a big impact on the score.”
On how frustrating it is to concede another late winner during the new season, Ten Hag replied, “That’s very disappointing, yeah.
Also in the Community Shield, we conceded just before time…so we should be more clinical in such situations, read the game and take the points if you can’t win.”
“I think we were very close to win this game but then definitely don’t lose.”
“On many occasions, we’ve done well when we’ve brought the score over the line and taken the result.”
