"I think all over they took the chances very clinical" - Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on their loss against Liverpool
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag opened up after his squad's loss 3-0 loss to the Reds at home. In an interview with beIN SPORTS' Andy Kerr, the Dutch manager spoke about the goals conceded by the Red Devils, and said:
"It's difficult because when you say individual errors. When you make them like this and you know against Liverpool, they are very good in the turnovers, and I think the structures were right in this moment, especially the first goal, the second goal as well; third goal, you can debate. I think we were not so right over the left side and the rest defence. But the first two goals, you can't change."
"When you make such mistakes against a good team like Liverpool, they will kill you, and I think all over they took the chances very clinical," Ten Hag added.
Following the Northwest Derby, Manchester United are 14th in the Premier League table with three points while Liverpool are second with nine points. The Red Devils will travel to Southampton after the international break, while the Reds will host Nottingham Forest.
