Liverpool’s star forward Luis Díaz scored twice, while Mohamed Salah added another goal to lead their team to a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford last Sunday. This emphatic win marked a significant moment in the ongoing rivalry between the two clubs.
In a post-match interview on Manchester United’s official website, the team’s manager, Erik ten Hag, expressed his disappointment with the result and acknowledged the need for his team to improve. Ten Hag stated, “I think the first half an hour was okay. We made a mistake in defensive organization for the disallowed goal, but we were in the game. It was equal, level, and then we had a great structure in building up but then made a big error, and, with the quality of Liverpool, they took advantage of that. They took their chances so well. We have to be humble. We have to give compliments to Liverpool, but, of course, we are not happy.”
Reflecting on the defeat, Ten Hag added, “I’m very disappointed, especially when you lose 3-0 to Liverpool. The game is over, and we have to live with the result. We have to continue, bounce back, and we need to improve the team. Individuals have to improve, and fitness-wise, we have to improve. We will be fine. We are going for trophies, and we have a lot to play for.”
The loss highlighted the areas where Manchester United needs to work on, as they aim to compete for trophies this season. Despite the setback, Ten Hag remains focused on improving the team and staying in contention for silverware.
