Man Utd coach Ten Hag demands change after FA Cup victory over Coventry
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, expressed his disappointment in the team’s performance after their match against Coventry. The Red Devils had a 3-0 lead for 70 minutes before conceding three quick goals, forcing the game into extra time and ultimately a shootout. Despite Rasmus Hojlund securing United’s spot in the final, Ten Hag was critical of his team’s collapse and emphasized the need for improvement to compete against Manchester City in the final.
In an interview with ITV, Ten Hag praised Coventry for their effort in the last 15 minutes of the match but emphasized the importance of maintaining control and taking responsibility to secure victories. He highlighted the team’s need for improvement in communication, discipline, and maintaining possession while acknowledging their achievement in reaching the final. Following the match, United’s subdued celebrations indicated their awareness of the shortcomings in their performance, particularly after Coventry scored their first goal.
The team’s depleted backline struggled to contain Coventry’s attacks, prompting Ten Hag to stress the necessity of improvement to attain silverware by the end of the season.
