'We have to bounce back'; Erik ten Hag after Manchester United's crushing defeat at Anfield

Erik ten Hag was furious with his side's "unprofessional" display after Liverpool inflicted a 7-0 humiliation that equalled Manchester United's heaviest ever competitive defeat. A week on from lifting the Carabao Cup and ending the club's six-year wait for silverware, the Old Trafford giants were brought back down to earth with a bump by Jurgen Klopp's Reds at a rocking Anfield. In the aftermath of the game United Manager Ten Hag presented his comments on what transpired, "Today first half I think we were the better team. First half we created the better chances. We had two one-on-ones with the goalie and they hadn't. And then before half time you make one mistake. Organisation and we conceded goal. So I think yeah we were in the game and so it was really a surprise for me that we after half time so quickly gave the game away." "As a team, you have to stick together and that is what we didn't do and that was the surprise for me. I haven't seen this from my team. I don't think it's this, I don't think it's Manchester United. So that's really bad and poor." "I know this team, they'll reset and we have to bounce back. We've shown in the past we can." "If you do the right things, if you react with the right measures, as a manager, as a team, you can learn a lot from it and you can strengthen your mentality."
