After another horrible start to the season, Manchester United is only in eleventh place in the Premier League, but they didn’t get off to a perfect start in the Europa League either, because despite playing in a dominant position at home, they only played a 1-1 draw with the Dutch Twente, from which Erik ten Hag’s career as a player and coach also began.

The result is clearly favorable for the guests, and the coach of Manchester United is much more a he praised the Dutch team as his own.
“We simply dropped a level in the sequel and almost gave them a goal as a gift. We didn’t finish what we started. We should have gone for a second goal, instead we punished ourselves with a huge mistake. I know it’s only the first game, but clearly We should have won it. It was the game of their lives. They fought for every meter and we didn’t.
Ninety-nine percent is not enough. Our mentality is usually very good, but today I live with criticism towards it. It’s not just the team that has to look in the mirror, I’m also responsible for that
– formulated Erik ten Hag.
At the weekend, Manchester United hosts Tottenham, who are also starting the season with a bang, and then next Thursday in the Europa League, they can make amends at Porto’s home.
