Erik 10 Hag urged he was not fretted about his Manchester United future in spite of a “very poor” efficiency in a 3-0 home loss to Tottenham.
Spurs required just 3 mins to take the lead with Brennan Johnson as they brushed up United apart at Old Trafford, with the only shock being that they did not include greater than the second-half objectives from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke after Bruno Fernandes saw red late in the initial duration.
A 2nd straight 3-0 home organization loss left United in 12th location with 7 factors from 6 video games, having actually racked up just 5 objectives, and the stress is currently increase on Ten Hag once more after he made it through a summer season evaluation by the club’s power structure.
Asked if he was fretted his employers could be having doubts, Ten Hag claimed: “No, I am not thinking about this. I think we all made together this decision to stay together, as an ownership, as a leadership group in the summer.
“Also we made the decision from a clear review what we have to improve as an organisation and how we want to construct a squad and all the decision-making is with togetherness.
“But we knew it will take some time, because of how the (transfer) window went, some players late in like (Manuel) Ugarte, also we have to make some improvement in the organisation, we still have to deal with some injuries, also from some impact players.
“I think we will get better there. We need some time. We are all on one page or in one boat together, the ownership, the leadership group, the staff and the players group as well. I don’t have that concern.”
Even prior to Fernandes’ challenged red card, which came 3 mins prior to half-time when he captured James Maddison on the leg after sliding while trying a take on, United looked disorganised, quite second-rate, and fortunate to just be 1-0 down.
Johnson’s opener followed Micky van de Ven was permitted to run nearly the size of the pitch prior to settling for his demonstrator to touch home– with mirrors of the objective United acknowledged to FC Twente in their 1-1 Europa League pull in midweek.
Ten Hag confessed acknowledging so very early influenced his gamers’ self-confidence.
“We were very stressful in the game, bad decision-making, we couldn’t keep the ball, not aggressive enough, we didn’t get the press right,” he claimed.
“The first 30 minutes were no good but we were still alive, we had also our chances, but then there is the red card…
“Of course (we can bounce back). There is always a new game, it will be a new day. It is obvious you have to learn as a team.
“It can’t happen twice in four days a defender can dribble through the whole team twice. You can’t make such mistakes in top football. But we will bounce back.”
While Ten Hag deals with yet one more inquest, this was a huge outcome for Tottenham, that had a sluggish beginning to the period yet have actually currently won 4 straight in all competitors.
Boss Ange Postecoglou claimed: “The lads were outstanding. I thought we showed real belief and conviction in our football, we were really aggressive in everything, without the ball, with it, positive intent. It was a fantastic all-round performance.”
If there was a problem for Spurs it was that they did not take even more of their possibilities, possibly a suggestion that amulet Son Heung- minutes was missing out on with injury.
“Sometimes it is just the nature of football,” Postecoglou included.
“We did have some fantastic chances and probably should have put them away but the pleasing thing for me is I got the sense the players weren’t dwelling on it and that is when it can become frustrating.”
