The Manchester United really sinks, nothing but reaction: 0-3 at home against Tottenham which doesn’t leave room for many interpretations, despite the red card received by Bruno Fernandes in the 42nd minute certainly weighed down the situation on the pitch for the Red Devils, given that the the score up to that point was still in the balance and potentially recoverable (0-1 at that moment).
The former striker of Blackburn, Chelsea And Celtic – among others – Chris Suttonspoke thus of the Dutch coach on BBC Radio 5 Live after listening to his analysis of the match: “Ten Hag is ranting. I don’t know what game he was watching. The round in the end is a round for losers. On Thursday evening Qarabag gave Tottenham a more difficult match than Manchester United did today.” On Postecoglu he then said: “Spurs have played well all season. Some things were ridiculous at the start of the season: all the talk about pressure for Ange Postecoglou had no reason to be there.”
In fact, after the debacle, Ten Hag stated: “Today there was a really bad start for us. The red card changed everything, because we were still 1-0, but from that moment on we found ourselves with 10 men and This made things more difficult. I don’t think it was a red card, but the decision was made.” Words that were evidently not shared by Sutton.
