Ten Hag disappointed with Man United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has revealed that he was disappointed that his team picked up a point, and not all three, from Sunday’s pulsating 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were pegged back to a 2-2 draw thanks to a late Mohammed Salah’s penalty.

The game started slowly, but Liverpool went into the lead in the 22nd minute thanks to an acrobatic effort from Luiz Diaz from a corner. The rest of the first half was generally mild, but the second half sparked into life when Bruno Fernandes took advantage of a misplaced pass to score from long distance five minutes after the restart.

Kobee Mainoo then scored a spectacular goal on the turn to put Manchester United in the lead with 23 minutes left on the clock. Manchester United could have secured a much-needed three points, but they found themselves in the same place they were on Thursday when they conceded twice deep into stoppage time to lose 4-3 to Chelsea.

Aaron Wan Bissaka’s miss-timed challenge on Coady Gakpo was awarded as a penalty, and it was duly converted by Mohammed Salah, who became the first player to score in four consecutive trips at Old Trafford.

The draw stopped Liverpool from moving back to the summit of the Premier League table, but they remained level on point with Arsenal, who defeated Brighton 3-0 on Saturday.

However, for Manchester United, it keeps them only one point away from seventh-placed West Ham United, and Erik Ten Hag doesn’t appreciate the mistakes.

“On one side, I am disappointed that we have dropped seven points in one week after being in winning positions, but we have to blame ourselves for making stupid mistakes. On the other side I am very proud. You see how we are improving and the potential of this squad is amazing – I am proud. In decisive areas we were losing battles especially with young players we were not confident to win them [duels]. Ten Hag said.
