With this defeat, Manchester United now finds themselves residing in eighth place on the Premier League table, suffering their fifth loss in just ten fixtures.
Ten Hag expressed his views on the match, saying, “We had numerous opportunities, but regrettably failed to capitalize on them. It is indeed disheartening to concede a goal in the manner we did. When an opponent outclasses you, it is something to be expected.”
