Erik ten Hag was furious with his sides unprofessional display after Liverpool inflicted a 7-0 humiliation that equalled Man Utds heaviest ever competitive ...

United are not in isolation of being swallowed and spat out at the ground - ask Barcelona and peak Manchester City. In seven minutes, the League Cup winners went from being right in the game to inviting a 7-0 rinsing. The game was there to be won, and Ten Hag was convincing his players they could be the winners. Ten Hag was "alarmed" by United's surrender after the interval, particularly given the positive team talk at half-time. Ten Hag will not allow the tired United narrative to take hold. For the manager, there were zero words that could calm the reality that having been competitive for 43 minutes, United threw in the towel with just '50 up on the clock.

Ten Hag's Anfield reaction (Manchester United)

The manager is angry after the Liverpool loss, labelling the second-half display unprofessional.

We have high standards and that's not what we showed today in the second half." We did not make the right decisions in the defensive actions. Devastating and we let the fans down." You have to stick together and you have to fight and support each other. We let the fans down so that is the most annoying. In the second half, we did not have a winning attitude at all." For the ones who stayed, it was tough, and we really have to thank them. I do think we played decent in the first half but the second half was not us. "You can lose a game but not in the way we lose in the second half. I have seen, the last weeks and months, a team that is really in a winning attitude. We have other standards, these were not the standards we want to show. In the first half, we played very decent.

Manchester United given reality check by Liverpool - Ten Hag (ESPN)

Erik ten Hag said his Manchester United players were "unprofessional" in an "unacceptable" showing as Liverpool inflicted a 7-0 defeat on his team.

It was a bit wild in the first half, but the second half the start was pretty good and the end was pretty good. There are 13 games to come, a lot of points to come, but today was perfect." We didn't stick to the plan and we didn't do our jobs. "It was not our standards. They have been giving teams chances but today Liverpool didn't let them off the hook." "The players will be ashamed when the going got tough, they went missing. "A shocking day," Keane told Sky Sports. It was a spectacular football game. "Second half, it was just not us," Ten Hag said. We didn't track back and it was really unprofessional. This is definitely a strong setback and is unacceptable. It was unprofessional.

It is important that everyone knows we are here and we are still alive." "The start of the game was super dominant and super flexible. You have to stick together and support each other and fight for each other. You can have setbacks but you have to stick together and do your job. "In the first half, we were quite in control. We didn't stick to the plan.

Ten Hag accuses Manchester United of being 'unprofessional' in ... (The Guardian)

Erik ten Hag accused Manchester United of unprofessionalism after they endured a humiliating and historic 7-0 defeat at their arch rivals Liverpool.

“It was one of the best performances for a long, long time. He is a special player and a special boy.” I am going home with my family to have camomile tea and celebrate.” “It’s very special, I can’t lie,” the striker said. The United manager said: “It is quite obvious, it was unprofessional. Robbo was the flying Scotsman. I don’t think the second half could have started any better, super goals and from then on the boys were flying. We will talk about it tomorrow, but I know this team will reset and we have to bounce back. The third was a counter with unprofessional decisions – not following in, and then running in, moving forwards, giving space away in midfield, not tracking back. I don’t think it is Manchester United. I don’t think it is us. An embarrassed Ten Hag did not spare his players from cutting criticism in a post-match dressing down.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag stood on the touchline with a face like thunder as he watched his team fall apart against Liverpool on Sunday.

To beat it today against United with that result is unbelievable. We have other standards, these were not the standards we want to show. “Freak result, top performance. “It was not about one or two players. “Every defeat, no matter what, is worse, especially when you lose at Liverpool. “For the [fans] who stayed, it was tough, and we really have to thank them,” ten Hag added.
