JAKARTA - Manchester United lost again in the 2023/2024 Champions League group stage. After being silenced by Bayern Munich 3-4, the Red Devils were then beaten by Galatasaray with a score of 2-3.
Unfortunately, MU suffered this defeat at home, Old Trafford Stadium. In fact, they also had a two-time lead through the Rasmus Hojlund brace.
These two defeats made MU the caretaker of Group A standings with 0 points, a difference of five points from leaders Bayern Munich and a difference of three points from runners-up Galatasaray.
However, Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, admitted that he is still optimistic that his team will be able to qualify from the 2023/2024 Champions League group stage even though they have lost two defeats.
"Everything is open. There are still four games left and we have a double (match) with Copenhagen," said Ten Hag.
"Every game is difficult, but we know what to do. We know what our demands there are, namely to stay in this group and keep our position open to qualifying," he added, confiscated from Antara.
On the same occasion, the Dutch manager was disappointed after his team failed to gain three points for the second time in a row in their own home game. The first occurred in the Premier League, whose team lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace at that time.
"In the end, fans were disappointed like us. We were also very disappointed," said Ten Hag.
