Erik Ten Hag points out where his team must improve
Manchester United head coach Erik Ten Hag has admitted that his players must improve in their game management this season, after the encounter at Amex.
Joao Pedro’s 95th minute header ensured that the Reds were beaten 2-1 in the meeting against Brighton over the weekend.
It was the sixth time since the 2022-23 season that United have lost a league game from a goal scored in second-half stoppage time.
Speaking in his post-match press conference at the Amex Stadium, Ten Hag insisted his team must keep going until the final whistle.
“We have good potential but we have to keep going until the end because where we concede, in the Community Shield [against Manchester City], almost in stoppage time,” the United manager told reporters.
“Now, in stoppage time, we concede a goal and you have to keep going until the end.
“The game is finished when the referee whistles three times and that is what we didn’t do well. Game management – we should improve that.”
