Ten Hag points the finger at “injustice,” but is Man Utd losing because of subpar finishing?
After giving up a contentious late penalty, Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, says it is “unfair and wrong” that his team lost 2-1 to West Ham.
His team should have been out of sight by halftime after missing numerous opportunities, but Jarrod Bowen’s penalty sent United to their fourth Premier League loss of the year.
Referee David Coote was brought to the pitchside monitor by the video assistant referee (VAR) to examine Matthijs de Ligt’s.
“The on-field referee did not make a glaring and obvious error.”
West Ham now sits in 13th place in the Premier League, one spot ahead of Manchester United, who have only won three of their first nine games.
Following the match at London Stadium, the Dutchman claimed to have had a conversation with the officials.
“I spoke with them,” Ten Hag said. However, the choice has been made. When it comes to football, there is no turning back.
It is the third time this season that I have felt unfairly treated, and it significantly affects our squad, our results, and our standing in the standings. It is incorrect.
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui responded, “I did not see it,” when asked about the penalty call.
Missed opportunities give one “a bad feeling.”
Alejandro Garnacho hit the crossbar and Diogo Dalot missed an open goal as United.
Controlled the ball and had the better chances in the first half.
Bruno Fernandes lofted a header over the bar, while Lukasz Fabianski stopped attempts from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund.
Manchester United has scored eight Premier League goals this season, with only Southampton and Crystal Palace having scored six each.
This season, the team had the most negative gap between projected goals and goals scored (-6.56 – 8 goals, 14.56 xG).
Ten Hag remarked, “We need to examine ourselves because we do not score in a good game.” “It hurts to lose in this manner, even if you create a ton of opportunities and give up none.
“We had a six or seven hundred percent chance to score. However, we must maintain our composure when we fail to score. Other than the fact that they did not score, I do not have many complaints with my team overall.
“Singling out one player [Dalot] is unfair. I can also pronounce Bruno, Rashford, Hojlund, and Garnacho twice. Many were losing out on opportunities.
With just three points from their first three games, United is also having trouble in this season’s Europa League league phase, and their 11 points after nine games is their second-lowest total.
“Now, what will happen to Erik ten Hag? Michael Brown, a former midfielder for Manchester City, stated on BBC Radio 5 Live that “things cannot continue like this because the pressure has increased to yet another level.”
“His team was far superior in the first half and ought to have been out of sight, which is why football is such a horrible sport.” They have had bad luck today.
How is Ten Hag doing now?
At the London Stadium, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will want to discuss the VAR ruling that cost his side.
But the most crucial question is what co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada.
And sports director Dan Ashworth think about today’s match.
Ten Hag was retained by United following his victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
On Friday, I was informed that although the Dutchman obviously needs to win games, the club still wants him to succeed.
I do not expect United to publicly support him in the wake of this loss, as they did not do so during the international break earlier this month.
However, it is obvious that we will know quickly if the result is negative.
