"What I saw in the first 30 minutes is below the level of what we can expect from a Manchester United team," Ten Hag said afterwards. "Even when you concede so early you should stay calm and just play your own game." This statement encapsulates the disappointment of the manager, revealing how far the team was from expectations despite having quality players. It paints a picture of frustration not only in the performance but in the mentality of the players, who let early setbacks dictate their game."
"I must be clear, only 100% will do," wrote Ten Hag prior to the match. This was a wake-up call to his players after their lackluster performances in previous matches. Yet, the response was lacking as the players failed to deliver anything close to that demand during the game against Tottenham, showcasing a stark contrast to their manager's expectations."
