After Manchester United’s 2-0 loss to Tottenham, head coach Erik ten Hag issued a commandment to his team.After a sluggish start, Erik Ten Hag criticized his Manchester United players for failing to ‘run’ against Tottenham. He also conducted open-door discussions with his team after deeming their efforts ‘unsatisfactory’ following their 2-0 loss the previous Saturday.

Erik ten Hag: The manager of Manchester United scolded his team.
The back and the front are more important than the midfield, he remarked. “We were open because of this. They did not flee. They ran too late and at the wrong times, notably the front. They didn’t bounce back. If you want to succeed in this place, you must do it.
Our performance at Tottenham was excellent for the first 35 minutes. We had complete dominance. We ought to have scored at least once, possibly twice. They had no where to be. After that, the players became disinterested in the game and stopped doing their duties.
Ten Hag said, “I laid down the law to my players by berating their efforts and telling them to be ‘accountable’ for their performances after a disappointing result in north London.”
