After Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, September 1, manager Erik ten Hag gave a sharp response when questioned by a journalist about whether his coaching was to blame. United have secured just one victory in their last 13 league encounters with the Merseyside club. Following Manchester United’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday, September 1, manager Erik ten Hag responded curtly when asked by a journalist if his coaching was at fault. The Red Devils have managed only one win in their last 13 league matches against the Merseyside team.
Following his team's poor showing at home, Ten Hag was questioned about whether his coaching, rather than the players, was to blame for the outcome. The Dutch manager appeared to lose his composure in response.
''You are sure? I don’t think so or you wouldn’t win trophies like we did and to beat big opponents. I’m sorry for you. After City we won the most trophies. I’m sorry for you'', he told (via centredevils).
Erik ten Hag was alluding to his team's Carabao Cup triumph over Newcastle United in 2023 and their 2-1 win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final this past May. United will take on Southampton on Saturday, September 14, following the international break.
Following a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham in their season opener, Manchester United have suffered two consecutive defeats. They fell 1-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion and their 0-3 loss to Liverpool came right before the international break.
Following the win at Old Trafford, Liverpool's Salah has now scored 10 goals in nine matches at that venue. He has equaled a record set by Alan Shearer for scoring over ten goals at a single away ground since the 1992/93 season. The former Newcastle United forward reached this milestone by netting 10 goals against Leeds United at Elland Road.
