Man United vs Tottenham: What has been said?

Speaking after Man United's 1-1 draw against FC Twente in the Europa League, Ten Hag criticized his players for not giving their all.

He said: “You saw it, it was the game of their life, they fought for every meter and we didn't.

“Ninety-nine percent is not enough. You need to give 100 percent. You have to go for the second goal and finish the game.

“We have to be more clinical in certain situations, but I don't think that was the only problem tonight: in the second half we have to keep going, follow the instructions and that is also a question of mentality.

“We are very ambitious and when you have ambition you have to perform. In the second half, we were too calm and complacent and we didn't manage to surpass the goal and as a team you have to achieve it.”

“Often the mentality of this team is very good. In many games I saw how high our work rate is, but today I had some criticism, but I have to look in the mirror too, I am part of that.”
