Erik ten Hag Criticizes Manchester United's Instincts

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has publicly dismissed the significance of their 3-0 loss to Tottenham, attributing it to Bruno Fernandes' red card, which was later overturned. He argues that injuries are significantly hindering the team's performance, as they have faced 66 injuries over the past season and may have eight players unavailable for their upcoming match against West Ham. Following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League, where the team struggled to maintain their lead, Ten Hag noted the lack of a 'killing' instinct in his squad. Manchester United currently sit at 12th in the Premier League and 21st in the Europa League, having not won in European competition for a full year. Ten Hag emphasized the need for more consistent player availability to improve their standing and performance. Their upcoming fixtures include a league match against West Ham and a Carabao Cup tie against Leicester City.
