What Erik ten Hag told Manchester United players after Newcastle defeat

I want to start today’s column by mentioning the situation at Manchester United, because it’s been back-to-back 3-0 defeats at Old Trafford. First they were comfortably beaten in the Manchester Derby at the weekend, with Manchester City dominating, and now last night they lost 3-0 to Newcastle to exit the Carabao Cup.

This is something not acceptable for a club at the level of Manchester United. So, what happened after the game? Of course it’s not an easy moment for Erik ten Hag and from what I’m hearing he sent a very clear message to the players - he wanted to be positive, and he made it clear he wants them to stick together, they have to be together. We know these kinds of results can’t continue, but he doesn’t want to give up, and he wants the players to fight for the club and to restart their journey in the Premier League against Fulham this weekend.
