JAKARTA - Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag was furious at his team in the dressing room after they lost to Arsenal in the Premier League this season.
MU suffered a 2-3 defeat during the away match in the 21st week at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday, January 22 evening WIB. It was the fifth defeat of the Red Devils this season.
"I was annoyed and I told the players if you want to win titles and medals, you have to change your mentality," he said.
Ten Hag's men took the lead through Marcus Rashford's goal in the 17th minute. Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka then gave Arsenal a 2-1 lead.
World Cup 2022 winner Leandro MartENTez equalized after that. However, Nketiah's second goal at the end of the match successfully forced MU to accept their fifth defeat this season.
"You are in the top game and you make a big mistake. We started the game very well, scored goals, took the lead and then made so many mistakes that were actually unacceptable," said the Dutch coach.
The defeat at Arsenal's headquarters made Manchester United stay in fourth place in the standings with a collection of 39 points from 20 matches. Their points are the same as that of Newcastle City in third place.
Meanwhile, the three points at home made Meriam London firmly at the top of the standings. They collected 50 points or still ahead as many as five points from Manchester City in second place.
