Erik ten Hag lost his cool in his post-match press conference after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.

WHAT TEN HAG SAID
“We are building a new team. We will build this new team,” Ten Hag told reporters. “We had two players first start of the season. We will improve. By the end of the season, I am quite confident again. We will have a big chance to win another trophy.”
When familiar errors were pointed out to the 54-year-old, he replied: “Are you sure? We wouldn’t win trophies otherwise. After City, we won the most trophies in English football [since Ten Hag’s arrival in 2022]. I am sorry for you.”
Ten Hag was then asked to explain how summer signing Manuel Ugarte will change things.
“It’s not like I’m Harry Potter. That is what you have to acknowledge,” he replied.
WHAT NEXT FOR TEN HAG?
The international break has come at the right time for Ten Hag. Some will feel that United were unlucky to lose to Brighton after Alejandro Garnacho had a goal disallowed, but there can be no complaints about the Liverpool defeat. The Red Devils were second-best for 90 minutes and the Dutchman has plenty of work to do to put things right before his side return against Southampton on September 14.
