Man Utd star admits Erik ten Hag was angry after players ‘failed to follow the rules’

Facundo Pellistri has revealed that Erik ten Hag was livid together with his group following Manchester United’s 3-2 defeat in opposition to Borussia Dortmund on Sunday night time.

United wrapped up their pre-season tour of the United states with a defeat in opposition to the Bundesliga outfit. A brace from Donyell Malen was adopted up by a 71st minute winner by Yousouffa Moukoko to consign Manchester United to a 3rd straight loss forward of the new Premier League marketing campaign.

Pellistri was one among the players who began the match in Las Vegas earlier than Ten Hag made a bunch of adjustments. And the highly-rated Uruguay worldwide admitted that the Dutchman was left “angry” with the efficiency.

Speaking after the match, Pellistri instructed The United Stand: “For the first 43 minutes, we were good, we controlled the game and looked comfortable on the ball. But of course, he [Ten Hag] was angry because of the two mistakes we made and the goals we conceded which changes the match. The goals we conceded changed the momentum but we have to continue with the way we want to play.”

Ten Hag’s frustrations had been clear throughout his personal post-match interview with MUTV, the place he bemoaned his players lack of ability to “follow the rules”.

When he was requested for his evaluation of the efficiency, he replied: “Two elements. The first hour was good, carried out properly, taking part in as a group, a number of dynamism, good urgent, so it was actually fulfilling to see and that’s what I needed to say to the group at half-time. And then unexpectedly they gave away two objectives – and so they had been actually giveaways! So that was already annoying.

“But the last half-an-hour, that was bad. That was a poor performance. Didn’t follow the rules at all. Not in pressing, not in building up and not in attacking. So there were 11 individuals finally on the pitch and that wasn’t good at all.”

Ten Hag continued to lambast the efficiency after he was requested whether or not or not he may see the advantages from the membership’s pre-season journey throughout the pond.

He added: “I believe so. So the similar factor I stated to the group, I believe it was a very good tour however you need to end with a very good efficiency. And you see solely 60 minutes the place I was happy with it – however not with the objectives we conceded, as a result of that was actually poor. First one actually poor defending and the second one actually poor in increase. That will not be us.

“We have to keep the control and keep the responsibility on the ball. And it was the same for the 3-2 goal for Dortmund. So that can’t happen. It’s unforgivable, even if it’s a friendly.”
