Erik ten Hag reveals what he told unprofessional Man United stars after 7-0 defeat to Liverpool

Following Manchester United’s 7-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has claimed he is ‘disappointed and angry’ with his players and revealed he told his squad that their display was ‘unacceptable’.

“I don’t have an explanation,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports.

“In the first half we were quite in control. Second half at the start we gave two goals away. There was no team anymore. We didn’t stick to the plan. There were 11 individuals.

“I don’t know, it’s really bad. I have given my opinion [to the players]. It was unprofessional. You always have to stick together as a team. We didn’t do that. There was no discipline. You have can setbacks but you have to stick together and do your job.

“We made the wrong decisions. That for me is unprofessional. I’m really disappointed and angry. We let our fans down. As a squad, as a team, you cannot allow this. You have to stick together and support each other and fight for each other. You have to defend. We didn’t do that and for me that is really unprofessional.

“We have made a lot of progress but you see what happens when you don’t keep standards.

“What I have said in the dressing room is that this is unacceptable. But also it is only one game. We will bounce back. This team is strong enough and we will reset and bounce back.”
