Erik ten Hag's resignation as Manchester United manager after their 3-0 battle to Liverpool was met with criticism.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admitted he is" no Harry Potter" following his team's 3-0 heartbreaking by England before hitting back at criticism over his training procedures in a tense post-match media event.
A Luis Diaz prepare and Mohamed Salah target earned Liverpool a comfortable victory over their bitter competitors at Old Trafford on Sunday evening after their second successive Premier League beat.
" I do n't want to talk about positives today", the Dutchman said following the Manchester United defeat. " There are some. But we have to get this battle. It hurts for us, especially our fans, we have to get sincere and give remarks to Liverpool, but we need to move on".
On an evening when Arne Slot's side made two Casemiro errors, Ten Hag was unable to substitute the Portuguese for the 53-million signing Manuel Ugarte in midfield. The Portuguese was substituted at half-time for the match. Ten Hag did acknowledge that the full integration of the Uruguay global might take some time.
" We have to create him into the team", he said. " It will take time, so it's not like I'm Harry Potter. That is what you have to appreciate.
" And if you see Manuel Ugarte, he did n't play so far in the season. No one match second. Therefore, he needs to increase his exercise level and add to the team's development, which will require some time, perhaps even decades.
Casemiro's fatal performance came following a bad end to previous season for the Portuguese, with Ten Hag having to reject rumours that the 32-year-old left the stadium at half-time.
" I met him after the game in the dressing room, so he did n't leave the stadium at half-time", Ten Hag continued. " Why I subbed him was because we are 2-0 down against an opponent as Liverpool, with their features, they are very good.
" We had to take risks because we want to jump up, therefore you need people in midfield to support earth, so we put Toby Collyer on the pitch. I think that in sport everyone has to take role. I'm certain he is a great personality and he won all in his career what you can imagine. He may continue to contribute to our team, and Casemiro consistently wins, so I can assure you that.
Ten Hag's curly response to a journalist was questioned whether the athletes ' or Ten Hag's team's well-known failings were the result of coaching.
" What do you think? Could you please describe the errors we regularly make to me? ", Ten Hag responded, with the blogger raising the concerns of giving the ball away on their own quarter, mistakes playing out from the rear, being outnumbered on counter-attacked and giving up prospects.
" You are sure? " Ten Hag questioned". I do n't think so or you would n't win trophies like we did and to beat big opponents. I'm sorry for you. After City we won the most prizes. I'm sad for you."
Ten Hag added that despite having won just one of the nine Premier League items so much, his team's fortunes will turn around.
" Only next game in the period, we have to create a new team. I have to explain this so many times, also on Friday at the press conference, we will build this new team, we have young players, we have players to build into the season, we had three players first start of the season, they did n't play 90 minutes.
" We will be okay, but it's obvious we need to enhance," he said," and I'm confident that we will have a good chance to win another trophy."
The Red Devils face England in their first match up after the worldwide break on Saturday, September 14.
