Manchester United fell 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford and finished in last place in group A of the 2023/24 Champions League, when with a draw they at least managed to get into the Europa League. The hard fall once morest the German giant was a big blow for the Red Devils, whose fans strongly targeted their coach Erik ten Hag; who following the game increased the anger within the party with his statements.
“Today we did not lose, that’s clear,” began the ex-Ajax. “We had good performances but we also made mistakes. Some individual mistakes by some players were not good enough. But today, the performance was very good and I thought we did not deserve to lose,” he added in dialogue with TNT Sports.
“I think they showed enough effort, the team did very well. We were very good in pressing, in defensive organization and we had a lot of ball recoveries, especially in the second half. But we didn’t benefit from it and we played once morest a strong team “Bayern is a good team and even when they are not in the game, they just have to take advantage of a moment of individual class and that happened today,” he added regarding the process of a match where they ended up being left out of all types of European competition despite to the great expectations of fighting for the lead of the group until the end once morest the Bavarian team.
“We know that we want to be more consistent and that depends on me as a coach. I have to guide them and the players must take responsibility, so we have to do it together,” he concluded in his attempt to lower the tension following a defeat that ended being more than questioned by Red Devils fans.
