[OSEN=정승우 기자] Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag (53) emphasized that the performance in the second half was better.
Manchester United lost 1-2 once morest Nottingham Forest in the 20th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season held at the City Ground in West Bridgford, England, at 2:30 a.m. on the 31st (Korean time).
Manchester United, who failed to add points due to their 9th loss of the season, remained in 7th place in the league with 31 points (10 wins, 1 draw, 9 losses). On the other hand, Nottingham ranked 15th with 20 points (5 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses).
Manchester United, who finished the first half tied 0-0, conceded a goal to Nicolas Dominguez in the 19th minute of the second half. Marcus Rashford tied the score in the 33rd minute, but lost once more in the 37th minute of the second half following conceding a goal to Morgan Gibbs-White.
After the game, the British BBC broadcast an interview with Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag. Coach Ten Haag opened his mouth by saying, “The result is clear and disappointing. We were down 0-1 once more. We played well, but conceded a goal on a counterattack.”
He said, “We lacked performance in the first half. We lacked energy and we mightn’t get results. I thought we played well in the first half once morest Aston Villa and conceded a goal from a set piece. We should have achieved something more in the first half of this game.”
“We were better in the second half. In the first half, we needed to create decisive moments, but we mightn’t. We know the result was below our standards,” said coach ten Haag.
He said, “The performance in the first half was not bad. We should have created more in the final third. In the second half, we conceded a goal. Then we tied once more and I thought this was our game. We tried to come back, but we conceded right away. “There were chances following that, but they weren’t enough to win,” he said, expressing disappointment.
“We know we have to be consistent,” said ten Haag. “We have to keep our performance consistent and we have to do better. The game is 90 minutes and we have to do something from the first minute,” he said. “We have a lot of players coming back in the new year. The team “I hope we can strengthen the squad.”
He added: “We know this is the reason why we are not doing well. No team can compare the problems we have with injuries. We have to do better and the squad is strong. There are too many injuries and the players are weak. “It’s not thick enough,” he added.
