Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag reveals why his side “can’t survive” in their games this season. The Red Devils are having their worst start to a season for 37years. Manchester United have lost five out of their last seven games so far. Moreover, Ten Hag is under pressure for the first time since taking the job 16 months ago. The Dutchman has spoken ahead of their clash with Brentford at Old Trafford on Saturday how his team is unable to cope up recently.
“Consistency, that is the problem we are struggling with,” said Ten Hag. “In parts of the game – I will say in big parts of the game – we do a lot of things right. But then there are moments where we are struggling – and in such moments we can’t survive.”
“In this moment, you have to do the right things, so be consistent and do the job, be consistent in the communication and when you do that, you keep the right organisation and do it like before.“
“So definitely, you can mark such a moment as when we score a goal or concede a goal and, when decisive moments go against us, we lose a bit as a team. Over big parts in 95 per cent of the game, we are a team, so keep going all the way through and we have to step up.”
Ten Hag also spoke on Marcus Rashford who has only one goal in nine games. He said,
“Everyone knows the qualities he has. If Rashy does the right things and the team does, it’s up to him.“
“It will come, he’s so experienced and when he’s doing the right things and he is doing the right things, the momentum will come and he will be on fire.“
